Intel’s People and Practices Research Lab
Intel’s People and Practices Research Lab engages the techniques of social science (including anthropology and ethnography) and design in order develop a deep understanding of how people live and work. This knowledge is then translated into insights for guiding corporate strategy and technology development.
Research projects include Inside Asia, The Next Ten Percent, Global Homes, Mobility, Small Business and Proactive Health (each of these pages provide comprehensive project summaries and link to downloads of longer papers).
