An Approach for Designing Management Support Systems: The Design Science Research Process and its Outcomes

Carlsson, Sven LU ; Henningsson, Stefan LU ; Hrastinski, Stefan LU and Christina, Keller (2009) Fourth International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems & Technology (DESRIST 2009)
Abstract
Design science research involves creating and evaluating

innovative methods and approaches to be used in design practice.

We present an approach to be used in the process of designing

Management Support Systems (MSS). The nature of managerial

work makes the design, development, and implementation of

MSS a major challenge. The MSS literature suggests that

determining MSS requirements and specification of MSS are the

most critical phases in MSS design and development. We present

an approach that can be used as a guide for MSS design, with a

primary focus on MSS requirements determination and how

requirements can be fulfilled using information... (More)

We present an approach to be used in the process of designing

work makes the design, development, and implementation of

determining MSS requirements and specification of MSS are the

most critical phases in MSS design and development. We present

an approach that can be used as a guide for MSS design, with a

primary focus on MSS requirements determination and how

requirements can be fulfilled using information and

communication technologies (ICT). The approach builds on

Quinn and associates’ competing values model (CVM) of

organizational effectiveness. The approach can guide MSS

designers in designing MSS that support different managerial

roles, i.e., the development of MSS that support managerial

cognition, decision, and action. (Less)
