A Design Science Perspective on Business Strategy Modeling

摘要

An important topic in the modeling for IS development concerns quality of obtained models, especially when these models are to be used in global scopes, or as references. So far, a number of model quality frameworks have been established to assess relevant criteria such as completeness, clarity, modularity, or generality. In this study we take a look at how a research process contributes to the characteristics of a model produced during that process. For example: what should be observed; what research methods should be selected and how should they be applied; what kind of results should be expected; how they should be evaluated, etc. We report a result on this concern by presenting how we applied Design Science Research to model business strategy.
