Über dieses Buch

Consolidating existing knowledge in Design Science, this book proposes a new research method to aid the exploration of design and problem solving within business, science and technology. It seeks to overcome a dichotomy that exists in the field between theory and practice to enable researches to find solutions to problems, rather than focusing on the explanation and exploration of the problems themselves.

Currently, researches concentrate on to describing, exploring, explaining and predicting phenomena, and little attention is devoted to prescribing solutions. Herbert Simon proposes the need to develop a Science of the Artificial (Design Science), arguing that our reality is much more artificial than natural. However, the research conducted on the Design Science premises has so far been scattered and erratic in different fields of research, such as management, systems information and engineering. This book aims to address this issue by bringing these fields together and emphasising the need for solutions.

This book provides a valuable resource to students and researchers of research methods, information systems, management and management science, and production and operations management.

Chapter 1. General Aspects Related to Research in Management
Abstract
Research in management should attempt to bring together two realities—theory and practice. Although they may seem distant from one another, both theory and practice seek to create knowledge that can be applied to improve existing systems or, rather, to help in the design and conception of new systems, products, or services.

Chapter 2. An Overflight Over Research
Abstract
This chapter presents the concepts of traditional science and Design Science. It further presents the concepts and types of research that relate to the theme of this book. Later, the types of research methods commonly used by authors in the field of management are presented, including the concept of the work method and the techniques used for gathering and analyzing data. In closing, considerations are provided regarding the trajectory of science and the forms and types of knowledge production.

Chapter 3. Design Science—The Science of the Artificial
Abstract
This chapter addresses the central concepts of Design Science, as well as the history and evolution of this science over time. The main authors who criticize traditional science and propose the use of Design Science to guide research focused on problem solving and artifact designing are cited.
Aline Dresch, Daniel Pacheco Lacerda, José Antônio Valle Antunes Jr
Chapter 4. Design Science Research
Abstract
This chapter presents the main concepts of design science research, which is a method that is conducted under the paradigm of design science to operationalize research. In addition to these concepts, the foundations for the application of design science research as a research method and the methods formalized by several authors for its operationalization are presented. A comparison of design science research with two alternate methods is performed. To prevent an exhaustive comparison in this book, we compare design science research with methods that are commonly used for qualitative research in Brazil: case study and action research.

Chapter 5. Class of Problems and Artifacts
Abstract
This chapter is organized into three sections. In Sect. 5.1, the definitions and concepts related to the Class of Problems will be presented. In addition, examples of some Classes of Problems that are common to management will be provided. Section 5.2 addresses the concept and typification of the artifacts generated from the Design Science Research. Additionally, the definitions of each type of artifact, as well as the main characteristics that distinguish them, will be presented. Section 5.3 presents a logic that relates the artifacts generated from Design Science Research and the concept of the Class of Problems. Furthermore, the formalization of a possible research trajectory that is grounded on Design Science will be performed.

Chapter 6. Proposal for the Conduct of Design Science Research
Abstract
This chapter proposes a method for conducting design science research. Recommendations for researchers who wish to use this research method are also presented. To develop this proposal, activities that may support research conduct with reliable and relevant results have been considered. It is important to highlight that this research method can be applied in other areas beyond management, with the objective of designing and constructing artifacts or prescribing solutions.
Aline Dresch, Daniel Pacheco Lacerda, José Antônio Valle Antunes Jr
Chapter 7. Systematic Literature Review
Abstract
This chapter presents a method that can be applied to perform a Systematic Literature Review. The Systematic Literature Review is a critical step in conducting scientific research. This chapter focuses particularly on the importance of this step for research conducted under the Design Science paradigm.
Aline Dresch, Daniel Pacheco Lacerda, José Antônio Valle Antunes Jr
Chapter 8. Prospects
Abstract
This book aims to revisit the proposals of Herbert Simon in his landmark work The Sciences of the Artificial. One of Simon’s important contributions is to invite us to rethink our research practices. His intention is not to abandon the research that is being performed, but to expand our conception of science, science’s objects and objectives, along with the need to develop knowledge of a prescriptive nature that expresses itself in the design and construction of artifacts.
