Innovation management, particularly at the Front End of Innovation (FEI), presents significant challenges for organizations, necessitating structured procedures to mitigate failures. This article provides a systematic literature review on the application of Design Science Research (DSR) in developing FEI management artifacts. The methodology included conducting searches in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, which led to the selection of 11 documents. These documents were categorized based on the type of DSR artifact developed (constructs, model, method, and instantiation) and their alignment with FEI activities (opportunity identification and analysis; idea generation, enrichment, and screening; and product concept definition). The results revealed a predominance of ontological approaches and highlighted the need for rigorous theoretical and robust practical models to enhance FEI management. This review contributes to the literature by providing the first systematic macro-analysis on this topic and offers valuable insights for future initiatives in developing FEI management artifacts.
