En co-autoría con Kalle Piirainen, ha sido publicado este artículo en la revista The Finnish Journal of Business Economics, cuyo abstract es "Information systems research is focused on creating knowledge which can
be applied in organizations. Design science research, which specifically
aims at applying existing knowledge to solve interesting and relevant
business problems, has been steadily gaining support in information
systems research. However, design science research is not the only
design-oriented research framework available. Accordingly, this raises
the question of whether there is something to learn between the
different approaches. This paper contributes to answering this question
by comparing design science research with the constructive research
approach. The conclusion is that the two approaches are similar and
compatible, save for details in practical requirements and partly
underlying philosophical assumptions. The main finding that arises from
the comparison is, however, that there is a potential problem in
claiming knowledge contribution from evaluation of the utility of an
artifact. That is, utility-based evaluation often builds the argument on
adoption of the artifact, assuming that adoption and utility in general
validates also claims to knowledge contribution. We show that this mode
of evaluation has philosophical and practical problems that need
addressing in further research."
