Abstract

Information systems are socio-technical artifacts whose design should fit to serve the needs of organizations as well as the individuals who employ them. The central purpose of this chapter is to argue that design of new IS concepts can be regarded as a scientific research activity. To this end, several important questions need to be tackled, including the following ones: What is the meaning of observation in design-type research? Is there a notion of a theory in design-type research that corresponds to that in traditional science? If so, what are its building blocks? How does design-type research relate to the issues of truth and discovery? This chapter makes an attempt to provide the answers to these and other related questions.
