Sistema produto experiencial: evitação de experiências negativas em comunicação verbal de estrangeiros no Brasil pelo design estratégico

Abstract

This dissertation aims to discuss how the Strategic Design can help to avoid the negative experiences related to foreigners verbal communication who do not speak the Portuguese language in Brazil. The object of research is based on the tourism provision due to its affinity with the Product Service System (which is the project object of Strategic Design), plus its characteristic as marketing offer experience. In this context, it is proposed an Experiential Product Service System (EPSS), which is an object of design that consists in developing a systemic offer of product, service, communication and distribution, focused on the user's experience. Its basis, beyond the Strategic Design, is found in an approach focused on Design and Emotion (a focused approach to design for experience by analyzing the user's emotions). For the elaboration of the EPSS, a quantitative research ex-post-facto has been structured, in order to identify the contexts in which foreigners have faced negative experiences in verbal communication, measure the emotional valence of these negative experiences, and understand its causes. The analysis of this diagnosis on the user's experience, enabled to develop a set of project design guidelines for the discussion of the potential that an EPSS provides to avoid the negative experiences of the searched public. It has been concluded that the analysis of the user's experience, embodied in the EPSS, that is, a system formulated by offering design strategy focused on user's experience, can contribute to avoid negative experiences in the context of foreigners surveyed.
