“…Each genre of such research has its own processes, requirements, terms of evaluation, and presentation styles. Sarker et al (2007Sarker et al ( , 2012Sarker et al ( , 2017 addressed the problem of within-domain diversity for qualitative research in IS. They urged qualitative researchers to adopt a remedy for the problem in a model of disciplinary maturity akin to Gibson and Nolan's (1974) four stages of EDP growth.…”

We propose the definition of genres in IS design science research (DSR). In recent years DSR has become a well-accepted research paradigm within IS; however, now the diversity of purpose, methodology, and mental models has increased to a point where reviewers and editors are unsure about which standards to apply to particular research submissions. For some researchers an artefact of value is a system or system component, while for others artefacts ought to be theories or theory components. Such differences are hard to reconcile and researchers often face criticism from diverse corners of the paradigm, where beliefs and standards are very different. We observed this diversity of views among authors, editors, and reviewers while editing this special issue. The problem continues to the current day. A solution may lie in defining genres of IS DSR, each with its model for DSR processes and outcomes. We define five prototype genres, based on selected articles, along with their typical characteristics, standards, and values. Several articles in this special issue typify various potential genres. The recognition of mutually respectful DSR genres may improve researchers' ability to publish in the highest tier IS journals, as colleagues, reviewers, and editors recognize and respect genre differences.

“…Analysis within the positivist case study is generally focused toward deductive validation of theory using hypothetico-deductive logic and pattern matching [40]. While the propositions provided the baseline for the coding, the researcher engaged in deeper interpretations to reveal new concepts underlying the strategies [35]. She did not limit the analysis to using certain keywords to check the application of strategies during the development stages.…”

This study expands current understanding of the crowdfunding phenomenon by explaining how crowdfunding initiatives that have succeeded in hitting their financial targetÑ referred to as crowdfunded projectsÑ can continue to succeed by delivering their promise within the schedule, budget, and quality guidelines. The study develops propositions that elaborate the importance of undertaking four broad strategiesÑnamely, project management, communication, community, and open innovationÑ during crowdfunded projects. It then reports the results of an in-depth, comparative qualitative study of two exemplary game development projects to evaluate the applicability of the propositions and create a better understanding of their underlying concepts. The findings confirm the propositions by demonstrating how the two projects differed greatly in the use of strategies. Furthermore, the exploratory nature of the comparisons enriches the propositions by revealing new concepts that need to be considered in the successful implementation of the identified strategies.

To stay ahead of the competition, firms must continuously learn from their customers and swiftly adopt those lessons to improve their products. A unit at Ubisoft, a leading game publisher headquartered in Paris, has established a three-pronged approach to drive product innovation based on three practices: data-driven exploration, data-augmented ideation, and data-informed validation. By establishing processes and capabilities for these practices and blending them in a portfolio approach to product design, they maximize the value generation potential of the data at their disposal. Product development in a variety of industries can benefit from the lessons of these data-oriented innovation practices.
