Just Finished a Cycle of a Design Science Research Project: What’s Next?
by Ilia Bider, Erik Perjons, Paul Johannesson
Abstract
The article is devoted to developing a methodological support for
planning Design Science (DS) research projects. More exactly, it is
aimed at developing a classification of a particular kind of cycles,
inherent to DS research projects, and guidelines on how to choose the
next cycle in a specific project. The classification and guidelines are
based on results from an analysis of DS literature and a reflective
analysis of our own research practice. As far as own research practice
is concerned, two DS projects have been analyzed in detail. The analysis
revealed that though both projects included cycles, the nature of these
cycles was different. In the first project, cycles concerned finding a
better problem to solve, while in the second project, cycles concerned
finding a better solution for more or less the same problem. Both
projects concern developing methodologies in the area of socio-technical
systems, and the guidelines on how to choose the next cycle have special
provisions related to such systems. In conclusion, the article presents
examples of other projects that followed the suggested guidelines and
discusses the difference of the suggested approach from other approaches
to conduct DS research projects.
