Abstract
UK houseware product suppliers Cannie plc and Brunei University's Design Research Centre established a TCS Programme in 1994. Its objective was to develop an improved design management system for Cannie, at the same time developing several new products over a two-year period. Young graduates taking part in the TCS are eligible to compete for an annual Scholarship giving the opportunity to visit Hong Kong and South China for up to six weeks. The author, an Industrial Design graduate taking part in the Cannie plc TCS, was the winner of a Scholarship that took place in April 1997. She discusses the objectives, achievements and benefits of a trip taken at such a poignant time in the former British colony's history.
