I think a good question to ask is "what is a designer responsible
for?"
Designers are usually *not* responsible for coming up or even
modifying a business model.
Which is why "what is a designer responsible for?" is the wrong
question.
The right questions are:
+ Who is on the team?
+ What skills do they have?
+ What is the team responsible for?
The best designs are going to have the right skills, which include
both business and interaction design. It doesn't really matter if
these skills are a single person or 20, as long as the team works
together effectively.
I think we need to move away from roles and start thinking in terms of
teams and their skills.
