In design science research, two important challenges exist to achieve greater influence in research and practice: (1) foster frequent reuse of artifacts and design theories and (2) increase knowledge accumulation in the field. In this article, we argue that replication studies could support the accumulation and development of design theories to reach a state that encourages reuse of artifacts and design theories. However, it is unclear precisely how replication relates to design science research—that is, what outcomes replication produces and how researchers should apply it within design science research. This study proposes three overarching research questions ( Does the artifact provide utility? Is the design theory complete? What design theory components fit a larger context?) and eight categories for replication studies in design science research (Test, Redesign, Justification, Adaptation, Explanation, Update, Recreation, and Meta-Replication). We offer guidance to researchers, editors, and reviewers on how to conduct replication studies in design science research and why such studies are so critical. Our goal is to provide “food for thought” on the significance of design science research replication studies and, in turn, help facilitate their widespread implementation and publication. We conclude our study by highlighting areas for further discussion and investigation, such as defining replication procedures and conceptualizing genuine replication goals within design science research.

It is controversially discussed if and which interventions policymakers should implement to promote healthier, more sustainable, and more ethical food choices. Often, policy measures suffer from a lack of data. This is especially true for the growing field of online grocery shopping. Yet, it not always feasible to test the impact of each possible policy intervention in the field. Here, computer-simulated shopping experiments offer a complementary approach. Recent evidence suggests that they heighten the realism of consumer experiments and collect valid data at a relatively low cost. In this paper, we introduce an open-source toolset that offers multiple avenues to develop and run experiments in the context of online grocery shopping. Hence, it supports researchers and policy makers in evaluating instore-intervention aiming to support more sustainable food choices.

To mitigate and address climate change, greener transportation modes and mobility services are in great need. Although Green Information Systems (Green IS)—specifically designed to increase environmental sustainability—can support behavioral changes, there is limited research on whether Green IS usage coincides with sustainable real-world behavior. Against this background, we combine the Theory of Planned Behavior with the Technology Acceptance Model to study the interplay of employees’ Green IS usage and actual real-world behavior. Specifically, we surveyed 211 employees of a larger Western European company in the context of a recently introduced company-wide mobile application for business trip ridesharing. We conclude that Green IS can facilitate sustainable mobility adoption; however, not only technology acceptance needs to be considered but also employees’ attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control regarding their business travel modes. Thus, decision-making in analog and digital realms coincide and ought to be considered in parallel.

The growing influx of people to urban areas has resulted in a tense housing market in many places, making the search for a suitable residence an increased challenge. Dedicated online platforms facilitate this process and offer two distinct approaches to find suitable accommodations concerning its location. Traditionally, users can search for a general area like a city to narrow down the results displayed. Additionally, some platforms offer searches based on the maximum commute time between apartments and points of interest. This paper investigates the benefit such approaches yield concerning technology acceptance and the fit of the task and information representation. Thus, a prototypically implemented online platform with and without a commute time search feature was evaluated in an online experiment. The treatment specification achieved significantly better results in terms of information quality and technology acceptance, implicating that such a design should be preferred for websites that facilitate the search for apartments. These insights can contribute to an enhanced understanding of visual system design to reduce the negative sustainability impacts of traffic induced by a divergence of residential and workplaces.

With artificial intelligence (AI) becoming increasingly capable of handling highly complex tasks, many AI-enabled products and services are granted a higher autonomy of decision-making, potentially exercising diverse influences on individuals and societies. While organizations and researchers have repeatedly shown the blessings of AI for humanity, serious AI-related abuses and incidents have raised pressing ethical concerns. Consequently, researchers from different disciplines widely acknowledge an ethical discourse on AI. However, managers—eager to spark ethical considerations throughout their organizations—receive limited support on how they may establish and manage AI ethics. Although research is concerned with technological-related ethics in organizations, research on the ethical management of AI is limited. Against this background, the goals of this article are to provide a starting point for research on AI-related ethical concerns and to highlight future research opportunities. We propose an ethical management of AI (EMMA) framework, focusing on three perspectives: managerial decision making, ethical considerations, and macro- as well as micro-environmental dimensions. With the EMMA framework, we provide researchers with a starting point to address the managing the ethical aspects of AI.

Eine zunehmende Wettbewerbsintensität führt zu einem immer stärkeren Bedarf an Team-Kollaborationen, da innovative Entwicklungen heutzutage nicht mehr von einzelnen Mitarbeitenden alleine geleistet werden können. Jedoch entstehen in Teams insbesondere bei der Kollaboration in einem neuartigen und komplexen Kontext mannigfaltige Herausforderungen, welche bisher nur wenig untersucht worden sind. Am Beispiel der School of Design Thinking (d.school) am Hasso-Plattner-Institut der Universität Potsdam, einer europaweit führenden Ausbildungsstätte für Design Thinking in interdisziplinären Teams, wird in dieser Studie untersucht, welche Herausforderungen in der Teamarbeit entstehen können. Basierend auf qualitativen Tiefeninterviews wurden verschiedene Teammitglieder, Coaches und Leitende der d.school nach ihren Erfahrungen bezüglich der Teamarbeit befragt. Mittels der Critical-Incident-Technik konnten umfangreiche Einblicke gewonnen werden, welche Situationen in der Team-Kollaboration von den Beteiligten als besonders herausfordernd wahrgenommen wurden. Im Ergebnis stellen sich insbesondere die emotionalen (weichen) Teamfaktoren – wie gegenseitiges Vertrauen und der konstruktive Umgang mit unterschiedlichen Meinungen, Kompetenzen und Erfahrungen – als erfolgsentscheidend heraus. Diese werden bis dato jedoch nur wenig von Informationssystemen adressiert, die die Team-Kollaboration unterstützten und erleichtern sollen. Der Forschungsartikel schließt mit Beispielen, wie auf Basis der Ergebnisse IS zur Teamunterstützung gestaltet werden können. Increasingly intense competition leads to an ever-increasing need for team collaboration, since new developments can no longer be achieved by individual employees alone. However, a variety of challenges arises in teams particularly when collaborating in an innovative context. These challenges have attracted limited attention so far. Using the exemplary setting of the School of Design Thinking (d.school) at the Hasso Plattner Institute of the University of Potsdam, one of Europe’s leading training centers for Design Thinking in interdisciplinary teams, we examine which communication barriers can arise in team cooperation. Based on qualitative in-depth interviews, various team members, coaches and managers of the d.school were asked about their experiences with team cooperation. Using the critical incident technique, extensive insights could be gained into specific situations of team collaboration that were perceived as particularly challenging. As a result, emotional (soft) team factors like mutual trust and the constructive handling of different opinions, competencies and experiences, turn out to be decisive for team success. To date, only a few of these factors have been addressed by information systems supporting and facilitating team collaboration. The research article concludes with three examples regarding how information systems might better support team collaborations.
