Line 31:
Line 31: − − Design theory involves examining and evaluating design as a concept. A number of − scholars in information systems research have examined the concept of − design. “What is design?” remains elusive − to ideate. The focus of design in information systems is on design of IT − artifacts. There are differing opinions about what constitutes design − theories for information technology artifacts. Walls et al. − (1992) specify two major components of IT design theories: − a product component and a development process component. − Each draws upon kernel theories (usually taken from the − natural or social sciences) in specifying prescriptive hypotheses − that enable designers to evaluate whether the product and − its development process satisfy the design theory. Goldkuhl − (2004) specifies a need for multiple grounding of design − theories in external theories, reference theories, value − theories, etc. Markus et al. (2002) take a more practical view − of design theories, using these theories to explain the means– − ends relationship as a practical, prescriptively causal mechanism − to justify design components.
