Abstract

This paper describes a research approach to an evaluation of a Design Science Research (DSR) Artefact in the field of Agile Enterprise Design. The Artefact, the result of a program which engineered and combined three methodologies, is developed on the basis of an emerging concept since 2009 and recently (in 2016) implemented in several information systems. Because of the availability of several implementations of the artefact, a post evaluation based on hypothesis testing of the real artefacts is a feasible and necessary next research step, on which will we elaborate in this paper. Rather than a research question, three hypotheses are proposed in this research.

A hypothesis must contain a justified theoretical argument for why you expect a certain phenomenon to occur (or not). simply put, there is no such thing as a self-evident hypothesis or a hypothesis that you explore “because you can”.
The hypotheses have to be connected to existing research, including references to key literature in building the argument and scientific claims.
