The DSR grid: six core dimensions for effectively planning and communicating design science research projects

Abstract

The goal of design science research (DSR) is to generate prescriptive knowledge about the design of Information Systems (IS) artifacts like software, methods, models, and concepts (Hevner et al. 2004 ). In a wider sense, DSR intends to generate design knowledge, that is, knowledge about innovative solutions to real-world problems (vom Brocke et al. 2019 ). As such, DSR is considered particularly promising regarding its ability to contribute to practice through such means as digital innovation (Rai 2017 ) and to address our society’s (grand) challenges (Becker et al. 2015 ), such as that of ensuring environmental sustainability (Loos et al. 2011 ; Pernici et al. 2012 ; vom Brocke and Seidel 2012 ).
