the State of Design a comprehensive literature review to chart the Design science research discourse
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2017Co-Authors: Rahul Thakurta, Benjamin Muller, Frederik Ahlemann, David HoffmannAbstract:Design science is an increasingly popular research paradigm in the information systems discipline. De- spite a recognition of the Design science research par- adigm, questions are being raised about the nature of its existence and its contributions. Central to this ar- gument is the understanding of the relationship be- tween “theoretical research” and “Design research” and the necessary implications for Design. In this re- search, we contribute to this discourse by carrying out a structured literature review in order to appreciate the current State of the art in Design science research. The results identify an incongruence between the methodological guidelines informing the Design and how the Design is carried out in practice. On the basis of our observations on the Design process, the theoreti- cal foundations of Design, and the Design outcomes, we outline some research directions that we believe will contribute to methodically well-executed Design sci- ence contributions in the future.

exploratory study of the State of environmentally conscious Design in the medical device industry
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2015Co-Authors: James Moultrie, Laura M E Sutcliffe, Anja MaierAbstract:Abstract This exploratory study seeks to explore the current State of Design for the environment (DfE) in the development of medical devices; an historically risk averse industry that lags behind others in terms of addressing environmental considerations. A cross-sectional survey of 34 medical device Designers, primarily in the UK and USA, was conducted in order to fulfil this objective. Findings indicate that there is significant motivation to enhance DfE practice, but that there are multiple barriers to this. Major barriers identified are a perception of the high cost of DfE, the industry's current reliance on a single-use business model for many current products and a lack of education about DfE topics on all sides. Designers felt that the most significant opportunities to implement DfE are in situations where they are able to exert direct control, mainly in the early stages of the Design process. Issues noted include raw material choice and packaging decisions. The nature of single use business models is also critical, pointing towards the needs for a systemic rather than product focus. For this to be achieved, financial rewards must be evident to firms and the changing regulatory landscape might also make a more significant impact.
