Abstract

The reduced lifespan of Information Systems (IS) based products continues to trouble IS companies. We investigate if there are evidence of short time ethnographies in IS or Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) studies, including the researcher as a part of the concurrent engineering team. Our literature analysis reveals that organizations are making use of different forms of ethnographies while addressing customer needs. We propose a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) framework that can help researchers understand existing research focusing on the shortened product life and, at the same time, appreciate the bridge between research and practice.
