Has a company's own design department not more advantages? Companies that can afford such a department need to have a management at the top that strives for a design culture.  There a communication expert with  design knowledge has besides his daily management direct access to the top. Examples from the past are Olivetti, Braun, IBM . . .  To cope with the disadvantages of such department (hierarchical subordination, inbreeding, organisational blindness...) these companies worked together with  outside designers. They brought a fresh approach to problems and  cooperated closely with the company's design department.
