The First Phase of the Design Science Cycle: Exploration Phase
摘要
As we wrote in Sect. 3.2 , the design science cycle consists of five important steps to elaborate for designing a solution concept for a field problem which, in the end, can be evaluated to see to what extent that solution concept will solve the field problem and implemented. These five steps, or phases, are the exploration phase, the synthesize phase, the creation phase, the evaluation phase, and the implementation phase. In this chapter, we focus on the first phase of the design science cycle: the exploration phase.
