“…The Design Science Research paradigm as described by Hevner and Ram [72], Hevner et al [73] guided the research process, as illustrated in Figure 1. Based on the identified need for a tool that supports the modeling of values in a networked context of a complex system such as a sustainable business model (see Section 3), a modeling concept in the form of the "values and needs layer" was developed.…”

New technological possibilities and paradigm shifts from product-centered to service-centered offerings are one of the main drivers of business models. Business ventures today are more and more networked. Often, various partners are needed to deliver a service or product to frequently cross-linked customers with sometimes bi- or even multi-variant roles. Furthermore, business models are embedded in socio-technical systems where different kinds of needs and values of all actors, including social, ecological, technical and economic values, have to be balanced. The resulting complex network of actors, needs and values requires continuous management in order to create and operate viable and sustainable business models. This paper proposes a multi-layer framework to analyze existing business models as well as to shape new business ventures in a networked and values-based way and to support the identification of tacit network effects within business ecosystems. Based on an existing multi-layered analysis toolkit, focusing on legal and business dynamics aspects, an enhanced visualization and analysis tool is proposed that focuses especially on ethical, social and environmental aspects to foster the creation of (strongly) sustainable business models. The research process to create the presented approach followed the Design Science Research paradigm by applying argumentative-deductive analysis (ADA) and first applications in real-world case studies. A practical case from an international Open Source Software (OSS) project serves as an example to illustrate this values-based visualization and analysis layer and its benefits for managers and decision makers in the area of business model and information system management.

“…DSR is an important paradigm in IS research as it serves as a guideline for the process of constructing socio-technical artifacts in the IS domain [26]. We follow the process of Peffers et al [27] for creating design science artifacts and then map these artifacts onto the digital innovation roles in DSR, as proposed by [28]. In order to adequately consider current issues and practical experiences, the requirements of SMEs for such a framework were analyzed from both the provider and user perspectives in a previous work [25,29].…”

Finding and comparing appropriate cloud services that best fit cloud service consumer requirements can be a complex, time-consuming and costintensive process, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. Since there is no "one-fits-all" cloud service provider, companies face the challenge of selecting and combining services from different vendors to meet all their requirements. Therefore, this paper calls for the design of a cloud brokering framework that would enable faster and easier selection of cloud services by recommending appropriate services through a matchmaking system. Drawing on previously conducted studies and considering current issues and practical experiences both from provider and user perspectives, we propose a framework that would identify, rank and recommend cloud services from multiple modules and components to individual consumers. Furthermore, we contribute an earlystage design of a cloud broker framework that considers cloud-service consumers' sourcing preferences while making new cloud-sourcing decisions and that can be used in the selection and adoption phase of implementing cloud services and/or as part of a multicloud strategy.

“…Mehrere Design Cycles, die auch von unterschiedlichen Forschern durchlaufen werden, sichern (als vierte Perspektive), dass das Problem -wie es in der Problemstellung gefordert ist -einen gewissen Abstraktionsgrad hat und die Lösung generalisiert werden kann. Hier zeigen sich in neueren Diskussionen zwei Entwicklungen: zum einen wird zunehmend darauf verwiesen, dass die Wissensbasis zu den Kernel-Theorien auch Wissen in Form von Solution Design Entities (also Wissen zu erarbeiteten IT-Artefakten) sowie in Form von Solution Design Theories umfasst (Hevner et al 2018). Letztere unterstützen als Design-Theorien Design-Prozesse (vgl.…”

Zusammenfassung Ganz im Sinne der Zeitschrift HMD-Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik existiert in Deutschland neben anderen Ausrichtungen auch eine explizit auf Praxisorientierung ausgerichtete Wirtschaftsinformatikforschung. Dieser Beitrag behandelt aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln deren Entwicklungen und Strömungen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Forschungsmethoden, die Forschung für die Praxis unterstützen. Dies sind insbesondere Methoden der Fallstudienforschung, der Aktionsforschung und der gestaltungsorientierten Forschung in verschiedenen Ausprägungen. Insbesondere diejenigen Methoden, die Forschung gemeinsam mit der Praxis anstreben, benötigen Rahmenbedingungen, die dies ermöglichen. Die gängigsten Kollaborationsformen, ihre Verknüpfung zu Forschungsmethoden, die von den jeweiligen Partnern zu erwartenden Nutzeffekte und Ergebnisse bilden den zweiten Schwerpunkt des Beitrages. Darüber hinaus identifizieren wir weitere Ansatzpunkte, die Forschern Wege aufzeigen, wie die Praxisrelevanz ihrer Forschung gesteigert werden kann. So gibt es methodische Bausteine, die vorhandene Forschungsmethoden um nicht invasive Komponenten ergänzen können, um die Relevanz der Forschungsergebnisse für die Praxis sicherzustellen. Zudem können Forscher auch an der besseren Konsumierbarkeit ihrer Ergebnisse arbeiten und sollten Mut fassen, die üblichen Routinen vergangener Forschung gelegentlich auch zu verlassen.
