There are so many different variables that go into stock price that to just use "design" as one makes the report interesting, but useless in my opinion. Even more so since it was conducted by Design Council, because it is hard not see it as a biased report. Any interesting study would be to find companies that were struggling for some period of time then switched their design methodologies and were able to rebound. I am not aware of VW's past, but I would be curious to know how much their company performance has improved since the release of the new Beetle a couple years ago.
