Bridging the Gap between Qualitative, Empirical Work and Software Design
نویسنده
چکیده
Research in Business Information Systems includes empirical as well as design related activities. For gaining access to domain knowledge for building an Information System, we have developed a method guiding researchers from qualitative, empirical research to the identification of requirements for Software features. The method builds on expert interviews, communicative validation, concept mapping, and the method for constructing description systems. This article motivates the usage of the individual methods, and discusses its application in two projects. In the first project a (web based) information system in the domain of progressive education and e-learning is developed. In the second project a navigation concept for a website is developed.
