In contrast to the design function in most Taiwanese companies, where either the in-house design team is beholden to company management or design is outsourced, the framework of Philips Design is special. Several years ago it became independent of the Philips headquarters, having its own human resources, finance and management systems, and being responsible for its own profitability.
相對於台灣企業的設計部門不是得聽命於管理階層、就是採「委外設計」這兩種模式，飛利浦設計中心的架構很特殊，幾年前就獨立於總公司之外，有自己的人事、財務與管理制度，自負盈虧。
