“…For this study, we applied a scoping review [7] with the goal to identify research gaps and to derive stylized facts from the existing literature. In addition to the analysis of previous work, we use stylized facts [8] as a means to generate new knowledge. The method of stylized facts originates from the field of economics and has been successfully used in various other fields of research.…”

“…Next, we will describe our literature search process together with the scales and methodology for defining the evidence levels of the identified literature. This is followed by a derivation of stylized facts [8] which were found in the studied literature base and can be used as knowledge in the form of generalized and simplified statements describing interesting characteristics and relationships concerning empirically observable phenomena [8].…”

Background: Recent advancement in assistive technologies (AT) have fueled the debate on new, IT-reliant ways of providing cure and care of dementia. Still the impact on practice has been little. With this paper, we want to find out to which extent current studies have discussed the impacts of AT for dementia. Methods: We conduct a scoping review of the literature on impacts of AT usage in the context of dementia. We search disciplinary (ACM, EMBASE, PsycInfo) as well as cross-disciplinary databases (EBSCO, Web of Science). Based on the identified relevant papers, we extract a list of original statements, which we aggregate to stylized facts. The method of stylized facts is a common research method to derive knowledge in the form of generalized and simplified statements describing interesting characteristics and relationships concerning empirically observable phenomena. Results: We identify n=539 unique articles, out of which n=36 report impacts of AT usage in the context of dementia. We aggregate 6 stylized facts that describe common findings. Furthermore, we identify research gaps in this domain. There is little known about the suitable design of social systems around assistive technologies. Conclusions: While the identified stylized facts indicate how much evidence there is behind certain common statements in the reviewed literature, we additionally find that studies in the area of AT for dementia often neglect the socioeconomic and ethical dimension. These are important research gaps for future work.

This article presents an exploratory study investigating the influence of an enterprise’s size on its perception and assessment of the benefits and risks expected from participating in open innovation projects. For this purpose an online survey was conducted in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The result of this paper is empirical evidence showing how the size of an enterprise affects its perception of potential benefits and risks expected within the context of open innovation project participation. Furthermore, the identified effects are discussed against the theory. Existing theory regarding the benefits and risks of open innovation is expanded by 1) finding that they are perceived mostly independently of enterprise size, 2) confirming their practical relevance, and 3) enabling a finer distinction between their degrees of relevance for small, medium, and large enterprises.

“…In fact, many paradigms and methods for gathering and analyzing empirical data have direct correspondences or close analogies in methods of "data gathering" (searching and selecting sources) and "data analysis" (where research literature is the "data") for conducting literature reviews. These include crucial discourse analysis (Wall, Stahl, & Salam, 2015), grounded theory (Wolfswinkel, Furtmueller, & Wilderom, 2013), soft systems analysis (Sylvester et al, 2013), and stylized facts (Houy, Fettke, & Loos, 2015) to name just a few.…”

There has been a flowering of scholarly interest in the literature review as a research method in the information systems discipline. We feel privileged to contribute to this conversation and introduce the work of the authors represented in this special issue. Some of the highlights include three new methods for conducting literature analysis and guidelines, tutorials, and approaches for coping with some of the challenges involved in carrying out a literature review. Of the three "new method" papers, one (ontological meta-analysis and synthesis) is entirely new, and two (stylized facts and critical discourse analysis) are novel in the information systems context. The other four paper address more general issues: the challenges of effective search strategies when confronted with the burgeoning volume of research available, a detailed tool-supported approach for conducting a rigorous review, a detailed tutorial for conducting a qualitative literature review, and a discussion of quality issues. Collectively, the papers place emphasis beyond the traditional "narrative synthesis" on the importance of selecting the appropriate approach for the research context and the importance of attention to quality and transparency at all stages of the process, regardless of which approach is adopted.
