Abstract

Action Design Research is recognized as a way of doing constructive research in close co-operation between practitioners and researchers. The method is based on the recognition that IS research always has a dual mission, namely to (a) add to existing theory, and (b) to produce knowledge to support IS practitioners in solving current and anticipated problems. We can achieve this by promoting research which is based on existing problems in practical settings, aimed at improving the practice and solving problems through designing and implementing IT artefacts. Furthermore, the method supports continues engagement and mutual commitment between practitioners and researchers, which leads into better insights about the effects of the artefacts and their design decisions in organizations, thus allowing for different types of research and practitioner contributions. In this talk I will demonstrate this through examples of real world ADR projects.
