Generalizing the Information Systems Artifact
Information Systems Research (INFORMS-ISR), Volume 33, Issue 4Pages 1452–1466https://doi.org/10.1287/isre.2022.1106Suppose that a successful information systems (IS) artifact is created by a scholar for use in a research study or by a practitioner for use in an organization; how may the IS artifact be replicated in, or generalized to, another setting? The overall ...
Established process steps for design science research have not addressed the usability of technology artifacts beyond the original research setting. Building on what is already known about generalizing a theory from one setting to another and the idea of ...

An artifact ontology for design science research
AbstractFrom a design science perspective, information systems and their components are viewed as artifacts. However, not much has been written yet on the ontological status of artifacts or their structure. After March & Smith’s (1995) initial ...

Accommodating Practices During Episodes of Disillusionment with Mobile IT
Information Systems Frontiers (KLU-ISFI), Volume 23, Issue 2Pages 453–475https://doi.org/10.1007/s10796-019-09972-4AbstractThis study investigates how tablet users react when technology falls short of their expectations. We deploy a data/frame model to study this process and investigate resistance-related reactions and the deployment of accommodating practices at the ...

The sociotechnical axis of cohesion for the IS discipline: its historical legacy and its continued relevance
The sociotechnical perspective is often seen as one of the foundational viewpoints—or an "axis of cohesion"— for the Information Systems (IS) discipline, contributing to both its distinctiveness and its ability to coherently expand its boundaries. ...

From Game Design to Service Design
Simulation and Gaming (SIMG), Volume 47, Issue 5Pages 566–598https://doi.org/10.1177/1046878116641860Background. Game designers have long been developing strategies to foster engagement, pleasure and a variety of sensations in game experiences, increasingly applying their research to areas beyond games. This has led to a growing recognition of the use ...

New state of play in information systems research: the push to the edges
The dominant way of producing knowledge in information systems (IS) seeks to domesticate high-level reference theory in the form of mid-level abstractions involving generic and atheoretical information technology (IT) components. Enacting such epistemic ...

Guidelines for Establishing Instantiation Validity in IT Artifacts: A Survey of IS Research
DESRIST 2015: Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on New Horizons in Design Science: Broadening the Research Agenda - Volume 9073Pages 430–438https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-18714-3_35The centrality of information technology IT artifacts in Information Systems IS research makes it important to understand the relationship between artifacts and the theoretical constructs they purport to instantiate. Despite the central role of the IT ...

Performance Management Information Systems as IT Artefacts: Characterization and Theorization from the User's Perspective
HICSS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 48th Hawaii International Conference on System SciencesPages 5000–5009https://doi.org/10.1109/HICSS.2015.592Calls have been made to characterize and theorize performance management information systems (PMIS). In this study, we propose to characterize the PMIS artefact with an approach that returns the user perspective to the forefront. The PMIS of sixteen ...

Going back to basics in design science: from the information technology artifact to the information systems artifact
The concept of the 'information technology IT artifact' plays a central role in the information systems IS research community's discourse on design science. We pose the alternative concept of the 'IS artifact', unpacking what has been called the IT ...

The concept of 'IT artifact' has outlived its usefulness and should be retired now
Vastly inconsistent definitions of the term "the IT artifact" in leading journals and conferences demonstrate why it no longer means anything in particular and should be retired from the active IS lexicon. Examples from the literature show why artifact-...

Understanding organization-enterprise system fit: a path to theorizing the information technology artifact
MIS Quarterly (MISQ), Volume 34, Issue 4Pages 731–756Packaged software applications such as enterprise systems are designed to support generic rather than specific requirements, and hence are likely to be an imperfect fit in any particular instance. Using critical realism as our philosophical perspective, ...
