This book is an introductory text on design science, intended to
support both graduate students and researchers in structuring,
undertaking and presenting design science work. It builds on
established design science methods as well as recent work on
presenting design science studies and ethical principles for design
science, and also offers novel instruments for visualizing the
results, both in the form of process diagrams and through a canvas
format. While the book does not presume any prior knowledge of
design science, it provides readers with a thorough understanding
of the subject and enables them to delve into much deeper detail,
thanks to extensive sections on further reading. Design science in
information systems and technology aims to create novel artifacts
in the form of models, methods, and systems that support people in
developing, using and maintaining IT solutions. This work focuses
on design science as applied to information systems and technology,
but it also includes examples from, and perspectives of, other
fields of human practice. Chapter 1 provides an overview of design
science and outlines its ties with empirical research. Chapter 2
discusses the various types and forms of knowledge that can be used
and produced by design science research, while Chapter 3 presents a
brief overview of common empirical research strategies and methods.
Chapter 4 introduces a methodological framework for supporting
researchers in doing design science research as well as in
presenting their results. This framework includes five core
activities, which are described in detail in Chapters 5 to 9.
Chapter 10 discusses how to communicate design science results,
while Chapter 11 compares the proposed methodological framework
with methods for systems development and shows how they can be
combined. Chapter 12 discusses how design science relates to
research paradigms, in particular to positivism and interpretivism,
and Chapter 13 discusses ethical issues and principles for design
science research. The new Chapter 14 showcases a study on digital
health consultations and illustrates the whole process in one
comprehensive example. Also added to this 2nd edition are a number
of sections on practical guidelines for carrying out basic design
science tasks, a discussion on design thinking and its relationship
to design science, and the description of artefact classifications.
Eventually, both the references in each chapter and the companion
web site were updated to reflect recent findings.
