Abstract

Digital Innovation (DI) is the use of digital technologies during the process of innovation or as the result of innovation. While we see a huge amount of interest in DI research from IS scholars, there is still scarcity in terms of using Design Science Research (DSR) for the engineering of DI, specifically from a method perspective and a possible integration of both fields. In this paper, we propose a tool for developing and evaluating methods to build method design theories, not just in the DI field, but also generally applicable to method engineering in other fields as well. Thus, we contribute systematically to the body of knowledge for information systems with a tool that shall be an effective assistant in method engineering. The tool builds on the eight components of a design theory first introduced by (Gregor and Jones, 2007) and conceptualized by (Offermann et al., 2010a) for the artifact type “method”. Finally, we analyze the role and utility of the tool in detail, concentrating on a method for the engineering of DI, in a DI project related to the microservices architecture, and lastly, we show generalizability of the tool in terms of design process evaluation, not specifically following a DSR paradigm.
