A challenge in Information Systems Design Science Research (ISDSR) is the evaluation of constructedInformation Systems Design Theories. March and Smith (1995, p. 254) state that “significant difficulties… result from the fact that artifact performance is related to the environment in which...

Die Kostenschätzung für IT-Projekte ist ein vergleichsweise altes und seit langem behandeltes Thema, das in der Vergangenheit insbesondere im Bereich der Soft-wareentwicklungsprojekte eine breite Spanne an Schätztechniken hervorgebracht hat (Jørgensen und Shepperd 2007). Nichtsdestotrotz...

Modern enterprises face the challenge to survive in an ever changing envi-ronment. One commonly accepted means to address this challenge and further enhance survivability is enterprise architecture (EA) management, which provides a holistic model-based approach to business/IT alignment. Thereby,...

By the early twentieth century, Schumpeter had already stressed the importance of innovation for a sustainable development of enterprises. Innovation is especially important for information and com-munication technology (ICT) companies as their business model is based on rapidly changing...

According to Kuhn, science and progress are strongly interrelated. Inthis paper, we define criteria of progress for design theories. A broad analysis of theliterature on information systems design science reveals that there is no consensuson the criteria of progress for design theories. We...

Organizations are utilizing real-time feedback applications as a means to enable and facilitate a feedback environment that enhances employee performance. Extant studies have focused on individual feedback effects, but organizational effects are not well addressed in literature, especially as it...

Empirical research strategies are undisputedly of paramount importance to rigorous and relevant IS research. Employed practices of empirical research in Information Systems, however, are still considered to be problematic. One related problem in this context is the lack of rigorously developed...
