Philosophical Smoke Signals: Theory and Practice in Information Systems Design
Although the gulf between the theory and practice in Information Systems is much lamented, few researchers have offered a way forward except through a number of (failed) attempts to develop a single systematic theory for Information Systems. In this paper, we encourage researchers to re-examine the practical consequences of their theoretical arguments. By examining these arguments we may be abl...
متن کاملDesign theory and practice
The method of conducting research significantly influences its progress and quality. This study advocates for subscribing to the scientific method of performing research, namely, generating theories, conducting experiments to support or refute them, and refining the theories. The arguments in favor of this method are discussed in the two parts of the paper. Part I critically reviews General Des...
متن کاملErgonomic Design of Future Production Systems
Increasing global competition and the resulting cost pressures call for premium-quality products and highly effective manufacturing processes. Moreover, in the face of short product life cycles and customers’ demand for variety, markets demand flexible adaptation to changing conditions. In order to stay competitive, it is crucial for companies in high-wage countries to anticipate customer-speci...
متن کاملExperience Design: Theory and Practice
NEW VALUES FOR SURVIVING COMMODITIZATION JAPAN’S manufacturing industries have maintained an advantage in the global market by improving their ability to provide high-quality products based on advanced technology and maximized efficiency. However, the global market has been changing dramatically over the last 15 years. Therefore, companies throughout the world, not just those in Japan, need to ...
متن کاملComparison of entropy generation minimization principle and entransy theory in optimal design of thermal systems
In this study, the relationship among the concepts of entropy generation rate, entransy theory, and generalized thermal resistance to the optimal design of thermal systems is discussed. The equations of entropy and entransy rates are compared and their implications for optimization of conductive heat transfer are analyzed. The theoretical analyses show that based on entropy generation minimizat...
