>>How it's spent, how it's earned, how changes affect income, how it's used to market products, how much is spent earning customers, how much is spent building the product, etc. These are all design variables. If I am understanding you correct you are saying executives are brilliant at creating requirements which in turn become specifications that map to some sort of functionality on a front end. In a sense the executives are designers, they provide the kernel. That's all my point was.
Understanding how to wield the uncontrollable variables to yield profit in unforeseen circumstances is far more than design it is an art a science even. Wether the designer is conscious of this isn't really the determining factor it is the allowance from the powers that be. If you are saying you have to fit in with what the executives have already decided they want I would agree. If you are saying me as a designer knowing about all facets of the business ecosystem is going to leverage my views I would have to say probably not.
