Good design is valued for it's impact. In other words it sells. Products, services and most importantly ideas. The thing that bothers me most is that people completely miss this point. They just want to order "some design". Witch is completely useless no matter how much u pay. Services like 99designs encourage this behavior in "designers" as well as clients. Or maybe it's better to say that they exploit it. There's nothing good about this, especially for clients.
