Design Science Research: Bridging Rigor and Relevance (IMCIC 2018)

"Design Science Research: Bridging Rigor and Relevance" (General Joint Session at IMCIC 2018) Professor Donald Ropes Inholland University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands Business Research Centre Research line: Learning and Development in Organisations Abstract: The point of this talk is to explain the Design Science Research approach as a way to bridge the rigor-relevance gap present in much of scientific work. In the presentation I discuss how explanatory sciences such as Sociology or Physics are mono-disciplinary in nature and aim to produce outcomes that contribute to the body of knowledge specific to that discipline. In these fields methodological rigor is crucial in order to support the knowledge claims generated. However, this means limiting the research to perhaps just one variable while eliminating any influence of the research context. Thus, assuring rigor generally means sacrificing practical relevance. Design Science Research, on the other hand, is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at generating actionable knowledge - that which is both rigorous and relevant for practice.
