Why Should the Q-method Be Integrated Into the Design Science Research? A Systematic Mapping Study
(2019)
The Q-method has been utilized over time in various areas, including information systems. In this study, we used a systematic mapping to illustrate how the Q-method was applied within Information Systems (IS) community and proposing towards integration of Q-method into the Design Sciences Research (DSR) process as a tool for future research DSR-based IS studies. In this mapping study, we collected peer-reviewed journals from Basket-of-Eight journals and the digital library of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). Then we grouped the publications according to the process of DSR, and different variables for preparing Q-method from IS publications. We found that the potential of the Q-methodology can be used to support each main research stage of DSR processes and can serve as the useful tool to evaluate a system in the IS topic of system analysis and design
Globalization and information technology enable people to join the movement of global citizenship and work without borders. However, different type of barriers existed that could affect collaboration in today’s work environment, in which different generations are involved. Although researchers have identified several technical barriers to intergenerational collaboration (iGOAL), the influence of cultural diversity on iGOAL has rarely been studied. Therefore, using a quantitative study approach, this paper investigates the impact of differences in cultural background on perceived technical and operational barriers to iGOAL. Our study reveals six barriers to IGC that are perceived differently by culturally diverse people (CDP) and non-CDP. Furthermore, CDP can foster IGC because CDP consider the barriers to be of less of a reason to avoid working with different generations than do non-CDP.
We are “not” too (young/old) to collaborate: Prominent Key Barriers to Intergenerational Innovation
(2019)
In this study, we analyzed the barriers to technology-supported intergenerational innovation to understand better how young and old can collaborate towards global innovations. Researchers in different disciplines have already identified various barriers to intergenerational collaboration. However, barriers are changing depending on the context of collaboration, and difficulties still exist to support intergenerational innovation in global settings. Therefore, we investigated the barriers that emerge when people work with someone decades older or younger. The results of our study have shown what barriers are influenced by age, what barriers exist only for senior and younger adults. The study theoretically contributes to deepening the Information Systems (IS) community's understanding of the barriers to intergenerational innovation that need to be considered when developing systems for global innovation
Digital transformation is a process of digitizing the working and living environment in which people are at the center of digitization. In this paper, we present a personas-based guideline for system developers on how the humanization of digital transformation integrates into the design process. The proposed guideline uses the positive personas from the beginning as a basis for the transformation of the working environment into the digital form. We used the literature research as a preliminary study for the process of wellbeing-driven digital transformation design, consisting of questions for structuring the required information in the positive personas as well as a potential method that could be integrated into the wellbeing-based design process.
Researchers have previously utilized the advantages of a design driven by well-being and intergenerational collaboration (IGC) for successful innovation. Unfortunately, scant information exists regarding barrier dimensions and correlated design solutions in the information systems (IS) domain, which can serve as a starting point for a design oriented toward well-being in an IGC system. Therefore, in this study, we applied the positive computing approach to guide our analysis in a systematic literature review and developed a framework oriented toward well-being for a system with a multi-generational team. Our study contributes to the IS community by providing five dimensions of barriers to IGC and the corresponding well-being determinants for positive system design. In addition, we propose further research directions to close the research gap based on the review outcomes.
This Paper presents a new service-learning setting based on the collaboration of engineering students and people with disabilities. The implementation at a German university is described and first results from two years of experience are shown. The objective of this case study is to show a transferable best practice concept with impact.
Vor dem Hintergrund globaler Vernetzung, Digitalisierung und Big Data geht das Excel-Zeitalter seinem Ende entgegen. Neue Technologien versprechen eine höhere Effizienz und Effektivität des Controllings. Die Veränderungen umfassen dabei alle Aufgabenbereiche des Controllings – allerdings mit unterschiedlicher Geschwindigkeit und differenzierten Lösungsansätzen. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht drei Technologien, die im Controlling derzeit besonders stark diskutiert werden: Robotic Process Automation, Predictive Analytics und Künstliche Intelligenz. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsseminars an der Hochschule Ruhr West in Mülheim a.d.R. wurden dazu 57 Führungskräfte aus Controlling und Rechnungswesen befragt. Über 75% der befragten Unternehmen halten die Digitalisierung für wichtig, mehr als die Hälfte (52%) beabsichtigen, eine oder mehrere der drei untersuchten Technologien in den nächsten drei Jahren neu einzusetzen. In den Aufgabenbereichen ist bislang vor allem das Reporting digital unterstützt, in der Strategischen Planung und im Risikomanagement ist dagegen die Digitalisierung gering. Wesentliche Hindernisse sehen die Befragten im fehlenden Know-How und mangelnder Veränderungsbereitschaft.

The adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) can support collaboration and knowledge sharing. One of the main areas of the usage OER is the internationalization, i.e., the use in a global context. However, the globally distributed co-creation of digital materials is still low. Therefore, we identify essential barriers, in particular for co-authoring of OER in global environments. We use a design science research method to introduce a barrier framework for co-authoring OER in global settings and propose a wellbeing-based system design constructed from the barrier framework for OER co-authoring tool. We describe how positive computing concepts can be used to overcome barriers, emphasizing design that promotes the author's sense of competence, relatedness, and autonomy.
Open Educational Resources (OER) intend to support access to education for everyone. However, this potential is not fully exploited due to various barriers in the production, distribution and the use of OER. In this paper, we present requirements and recommendations for systems for global OER authoring. These requirements as well as the system itself aim at helping creators of OER to overcome typical obstacles such as lack of technical skills, different types of devices and systems as well as the cultural differences in cross-border-collaboration. The system can be used collaboratively to create OER and supports multi-languages for localization. Our paper contributes to facilitate global, collaborative e-Learning and design of authoring platforms by identifying key requirements for OER authoring in a global context.
