Über diesen Titel

Críticas

This new edition is not only a refreshed version of the previous edition, but has also been expanded to help bring us onto the current frontiers of design science research. As researchers, the authors are ever mindful of their goals toward not just science, but also improvement. True to their noble direction, they have put this thought into this second edition. The first edition was groundbreaking; nevertheless they have still managed to make this second edition a grand improvement.
―Richard Baskerville, Board of Advisors Professor, Department of Computer Information Systems, J. Mack Robinson College of Business, Georgia State University

Reseña del editor

Presenting innovative research methods, this second edition of a bestseller describes a simple and practical methodology for conducting cutting-edge design science research (DSR). It provides comprehensive guidance on how to conduct such research and supplies in-depth treatment of design science theory and the different types of theory that can be generated in design science research.

Making novel use of the concept of patterns, it presents 84 research patterns for conducting effective DSR. It emphasizes design science theory throughout and is filled with practical examples of using patterns to conduct information and communication technology research (ICT).

With a focus on reusing research activities to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of conducting design science research, the book relies on familiar patterns to provide the fundamentals of various research philosophies and techniques required to innovate ICT. It describes design science research in relation to other information systems research paradigms such as positivist and interpretivist research. New to this edition are relevant design science research patterns adapted from TRIZ, the widely regarded European engineering design and creativity method.

This edition also provides greatly expanded treatment of theory building in design science research (DSR), a topic of rapidly growing interest in addition to a new chapter presenting a framework for theory development in DSR. The book provides an expanded examination of patterns in DSR presented using a new pattern classification mechanism to group patterns with like functionality.

This book will be of value to those interested in learning to conduct design science research, particularly in the ICT disciplines the book focuses on.
