Chapter 1 in Effective Virtual Project Teams, 2019, pp 1-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we introduce design science research. Design science as a concept was first introduced by Herbert Simon in his book The sciences of the artificial, published in 1969. Design science research starts with a real-life problem, a field problem, for which a solution concept is elaborated and validated. Design science research is prescription driven, and therefore, the nature of the research product is a solution concept that can be designed using design propositions. These design propositions are based on the CIMO logic. This solution concept is an artefact which can be used by professionals in the field. As the field problem in this book is in the domain of virtual project teams, the Design Science Research Cycle is shortly described in this chapter. The Design Science Research Cycle consists of seven steps which form the common thread in this book. In step 1, which will also be elaborated in this chapter, the choice of the field problem will be addressed.
