Entering Action Design Research

Towards Designing an Artefact Evaluation Strategy for Human Factors Engineering: A Lean Implementation Model Case Study

“…However, since the focus of this research was to design a new, innovative artefact (as opposed to evaluating an existing artefact), elaborated action design research (eADR) was required [28]. In such a case, where an artefact does not exist, an earlier point of entry is required where the researcher identifies the required theory, and verifies with practitioners the need for an innovative artefact [29]. Figure 4 provides the eADR method, showing the iterative process within and between stages, with entry points positioned appropriately along the innovative artefact design continuum [29].…”

Labor Planning Outcomes - Systemic Management Models, Human Interactions, and Knowledge Sharing

“…The project employed a four-stage elaborated Action Design Science Research (eADR) model (Mullarkey & Hevner, 2015) to structure the research method. This methodology allowed for the embedding of researchers within the practitioner environment, which was critical to iteratively design and refine artifacts used within the LPAC cycle to implement a system-based, centralized labor-management model.…”

Applying Agile Design Sprint Methods in Action Design Research: Prototyping a Health and Wellbeing Platform

“…ADR differs from ethnography because the researchers intervene in the research context in situ. While ADR has received much attention since the breakthrough paper by Sein, Henfridsson [1], the method has not been fully explored in practice and there is a limited number of completed ADR cases in literature available [10].…”
