Editorial: Design, Human Behavior, and Technology-Enabled Decision Making

Abstract

This inaugural issue of Big.D explores how design connects human behavior, technology, and decision-making across complex contexts. The studies integrate cognitive and behavioral insights, human-centered design, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and organizational innovation. Topics range from consumer behavior and empathic robots to machine learning, multimodal data, business processes, and sharing-economy ethics. Collectively, the papers position design as a bridge between human needs and computational intelligence, supporting technology-enabled engineering, practical implementation, and systematic evaluation.
