This chapter is about showing how artifacts impact engineering work processes by
representing important issues of individual and collaborative design work. After summarizing …

This article compares two cultures of engineering design, one flexible and interactive, the
other rigid and hierarchical. It examines the practices of design engineers who use a mixture …

The design and embedding of technical artifacts in complex task, social, and organizational
environments is fundamental to IS. Yet in Design Science Research (DSR) and in the …

Artifacts-representations that express properties or captured information-can serve to
inspire, represent, and manage the decisions made throughout the design process. This …

This paper presents a critical account of the current state of design science research (DSR)
of socio-technical artifacts in the information systems discipline as viewed through a …

This paper investigates the notion of an ensemble artefact. This concept is proposed by Sein
et al (2011) in their description of the Action Design Research method. This concept is …

The paper explores the staging of innovative processes in the context of the organization, as
relates to the transformation of knowledge about users and use practices. The paper focuses …

Current design approaches mainly focus on co-design activities for creating (novel) digital
artefacts. Less attention is paid on implications of new technologies on people and their …

In past decades, we have witnessed a growing interest in users' contribution to the design of
technological artifacts. For example, starting from the remarkable volume by Lucy Suchman …

The design process is predominantly presented as the primordial site where creativity of
highly talented people flows into material form and results in novel solutions for human …
