Design theory involves examining and evaluating design as a concept. A
+
number of scholars in information systems research have examined the concept of
+
design. The focus of design
+
in information systems is on design of IT artifacts. TThere
+
are differing opinions about what constitutes design 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.
