Abstract

Abstract The present study analyzes aspects of the application of the Design Science Research (DSR), identifies the problem classes, as well as the contributions and limitations in the implementation of the method in the various areas and subareas of Industrial Engineering. The research uses the method of systematic literature review through a review of articles using the Atlas.ti 8 software, it performs network analysis for classification by area and grouping by similarities, analyzing the aspects proposed in the objective of the study. Through investigation, it offers theoretical and practical contributions. First, it provides a comprehensive view of how DSR has been applied in research, identifying problem classes, artifacts, and classification areas in Industrial Engineering. Similarly, it contributes to a research agenda to replicate the method in emerging areas.

Highlights

  • In recent years, the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology has stood out as an adequate research method in the scientific area

  • This paper aims to systematically review the literature on DSR application aspects, problem classes, contributions, and limitations of artifacts created from applying the method

  • The literature review indicates that the focus of DSR researchers is on “organizational engineering.” (Amrollahi & Rowlands, 2018; Mamoghli et al, 2018; Krawatzeck et al, 2013; Manfio & Lacerda, 2016; Lehnert et al, 2016; Hao et al, 2015; Wu, 2009; Wang et al, 2011)

Summary

Introduction

The Design Science Research (DSR) methodology has stood out as an adequate research method in the scientific area. DSR focuses on achieving the intended objectives. Such objectives may be related to organizational contexts, machines, economics, and society (Dresch et al, 2015; Hevner et al, 2019). The construction involves developing an artifact based on experience and its demonstration (Doyle et al, 2016). For this reason, the DSR has been gaining notoriety among research methods (Van Aken, 2004; Van Aken et al, 2016)
