Abstract: Abstract By examining research and other writing about ISM and by observing methodology use in practice, it is possible to identify several assumptions made by researchers, educators, and practitioners. These assumptions are: (1) methodologies have a positive impact on the process and product of IS design; (2) design practice is considered to be a basically irrational process; (3) knowledge about good design practice exists; (4) this design knowledge can be communicated to practicing designers; and, (5) the behaviour of design practitioners can be changed. This chapter discusses the impact of these assumptions, and their converses, on research and practice in IS design.
