“…It is well known that no ISDM is suitable for all possible situations [9,15,29]. Instead of creating more new methods for developing IS, it is more important to consider how to choose a method that is appropriate for each development situation [32]. Recent studies have shown that the choice of method should be influenced not only by the object of development (the objectives of the new IS) but also by the business environment of the development project [24,29].…”

“…In digitalization it is not enough just to automate existing practices and digitize information; rather, digitalization often means significant changes in business models, processes and work practices. Human factors have to be taken into account, and new kinds of competencies are needed in companies [32]. Thus, to succeed in digitalization it is necessary to contemplate both what is digitalized and how to digitalize.…”

As digitalization has a significant impact on all industries, it is important to examine how digitalization methods are selected and applied. For that, we conducted two-step research: first, a survey examining how the connection of IT and digital business management affects business development management, followed by digitalization project participant interviews. We can conclude that method selection is done rarely, and even if it is done, project participants are not always aware of it. In addition, although business development objectives were largely emphasized, business development methods were scarce. Instead of deploying systematic business development, it was easily left as a vague part of IS development. Quite often, projects (willingly or accidentally) utilized some kind of hybrid method, but its elements were not combined systematically. As one result, we propose a new kind of hybrid method evaluation tool to be used in the method selection phase.
