  text: Information Systems (IS) is rooted in systems theory. Systems theory offers
    powerful concepts to address challenges of growing system complexity and non-systemic
    design approaches in information systems. Despite its systemic origins, systems
    theory remains a peripheral topic in IS. The study addresses this gap by introducing
    a comprehensive framework of 52 systems-theoretical concepts to guide the design
    of complex IS artifacts. We synthesize scattered systems knowledge from diverse
    disciplines to provide a unified level of abstraction for complex information
    system design. We apply the framework to a use case of business reputation systems
    to show how the systems lens informs the design of a novel, complex information
    system. We make three key contributions to the literature. First, the framework
    provides a common ground for interdisciplinary research in information system
    design. Second, it offers a unified level of abstraction grounded in systems theory
    that serves as a coherent basis for artifact design. Third, it demonstrates the
    potential of systems theory as a foundational justificatory knowledge base. Furthermore,
    we provide guidance on applying the framework across multiple modes of reasoning,
    alongside further application guidelines. The study thus serves as a bridge between
    the body of systems knowledge and contextual design in IS.

  text: "Trust between client and consultant is perhaps the most important asset in
    con-sulting, as this is a highly intangible knowledge-intensive business that
    concerns is-sues of outstanding strategic and operational importance for the customers.
    Cli-ents who have not worked with a particular consultancy face considerable risk
    when they place an order while lacking reliable information about the service
    quality they can expect. There is a strong link between trust and reputation,
    as the positive reputation of a consultancy can act as a substitute for a new
    client’s missing individual experience with the provider, fostering trust in the
    service quali-ty. Thus, creating, maintaining, and demonstrating a good reputation
    is of signifi-cant importance for consultancies in a very competitive industry.\r\nTo
    facilitate trustworthy signals, we design and implement a novel reputation mechanism
    that carries a monetary weight stored on a blockchain network as an immutable,
    decentralized, and transparent ledger. Based on an implementation in the Ethereum
    network and subsequent evaluation, we conclude that the reputation mechanism can
    contribute to leveling information asymmetry and reducing risk while increasing
    reputation and trust. The mechanism lends itself to being used in other business-to-business
    scenarios that suffer from similar information asymmetries."

  text: The energy turnaround and the shift towards sustainable mobility threaten
    the stability of European energy distribution grids due to substantially increasing
    load fluctuations and power demand. These challenges can critically impact assets
    in the distribution grid—e.g., switchgears—intensifying the need to plan, conduct,
    and manage the maintenance of such assets. Predictive maintenance strategies that
    analyze assets' current and historical condition data have been discussed as promising
    approaches toward that end. However, the extant research focuses on designing
    and improving analytical algorithms or information technology (IT) artifacts while
    not considering how a maintenance service is cocreated by companies with IT. This
    research article posits that IT and service must be aligned closely, presenting
    an ensemble artifact comprising a digital industrial platform and a smart service
    system for predictive maintenance on the distribution grid. The artifact is evaluated
    by conducting a willingness-to-pay analysis with asset operators, documenting
    their demand for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance as an integrated
    solution, although they still struggle with even getting the condition data of
    their assets. Building on these results, we formalize the knowledge in the form
    of design principles and implications for managing the maintenance of critical
    assets in the distribution grid.

  text: Joint value creation of organizations in ecosystems have a high failure rate,
    stressing the need for tools that enable the alignment of business models through
    visual inquiry. However, existing visual inquiry tools rarely consider recent
    design knowledge or ecosystem understanding. This leads to dissatisfied users
    and impedes the full realization of ecosystems’ potential. This short paper proposes
    an archaeological design science approach for enhancing the design of visual inquiry
    tools (e.g., a canvas) for ecosystems. Preliminary findings reveal 24 relevant
    artifacts, and shortcomings in the creation of conceptual models and rigorous
    evaluations. The proposed research process aims to develop design principles for
    more effective tools to bridge the gap between visual inquiry tools and ecosystems.
    This research contributes to design science research by reutilizing design knowledge
    and further developing the archaeological design approach. It also offers valuable
    information to practitioners about existing business model tools for the creation
    of ecosystems.

  text: 'Platform-based business models underlie the success of many of today’s largest,
    fastest-growing, and most disruptive companies. Despite the success of prominent
    examples, such as Uber and Airbnb, creating a profitable platform ecosystem presents
    a key challenge for many companies across all industries. Although research provides
    knowledge about platforms’ different value drivers (e.g., network effects), companies
    that seek to transform their current business model into a platform-based one
    lack an artifact to reduce knowledge boundaries, collaborate effectively, and
    cope with the complexities and dynamics of platform ecosystems. We address this
    challenge by developing two artifacts and combining research from variability
    modeling, business model dependencies, and system dynamics. This paper presents
    a design science research approach to develop the platform ecosystem modeling
    language and the platform ecosystem development tool that support researcher and
    practitioner by visualizing and simulating platform ecosystems. '

  text: Understanding a new literature corpus can be a grueling experience for junior
    scholars. Nevertheless, corresponding guidelines have not been updated for decades.
    We contend that the traditional strategy of skimming all papers and reading selected
    papers afterwards needs to be revised. Therefore, we design a new strategy that
    guides the overall exploratory process by prioritizing influential papers for
    initial reading, followed by skimming the remaining papers. Consistent with schemata
    theory, starting with in-depth reading allows readers to acquire more substantial
    prior content schemata, which are representa-tive for the literature corpus and
    useful in the following skimming process. To this end, we develop a prototype
    that identifies the influential papers from a set of PDFs, which is illustrated
    in a case study in the IT business value domain. With the new strategy, we envision
    a more efficient process of exploring unknown literature corpora.

  text: To  decide  in  which  part  of  town to  open  stores,  high  street  retailers
    consult  statistical  data  on  customers  and  cities,  but  they  cannot  analyze  their
    customers’  shopping  behavior  and  geospatial  features  of  a  city  due  to  missing
    data.  While  previous  research  has  proposed  recommendation  systems  and
    decision  aids  that  address  this  type  of  decision  problem –  including  factory
    location  and  assortment  planning –  there  currently  is no design  knowledge
    available  to  prescribe  the  design  of  city  center  area  recommendation  systems
    (CCARS).   We   set   out   to   design   a   software   prototype   considering   local
    customers’  shopping  interests  and  geospatial  data  on  their  shopping  trips  for
    retail site selection.  With real data on 500 customers and 1,100 shopping trips,
    we demonstrate and evaluate our IT artifact. Our results illustrate how retailers
    and public town center managers can use CCARS for spatial location selection,
    growing retailers’ profits and a city center’s attractiveness for its citizens.

  text: Although many methods have been proposed for engineering service systems and
    customer solutions, most of these approaches give little consideration to recombinant
    service innovation. Recombinant innovation refers to reusing and integrating resources
    that were previously unconnected. In an age of networked products and data, we
    can expect that many service innovations will be based on adding, dissociating,
    and associating existing value propositions by accessing internal and external
    resources instead of designing them from scratch. The purpose of this paper is
    to identify if current service engineering approaches account for the mechanisms
    of recombinant innovation and to design a method for recombinant service systems
    engineering. In a conceptual analysis of 24 service engineering methods, the study
    identified that most methods (1) focus on designing value propositions instead
    of service systems, (2) view service independent of physical goods, (3) are either
    linear or iterative instead of agile, and (4) do not sufficiently address the
    mechanisms of recombinant innovation. The paper discusses how these deficiencies
    can be remedied and designs a revised service systems engineering approach that
    reorganizes service engineering processes according to four design principles.
    The method is demonstrated with the recombinant design of a service system for
    predictive maintenance of agricultural machines.

  text: Natural disasters, including earthquakes, Tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, and
    volcanic eruptions, have caused tremendous harm and continue to threaten millions
    of humans and various infrastructure capabilities each year. In their efforts
    to take countermeasures against the threats posed by future natural disasters,
    the United Nations formulated the ?Hyogo Framework for Action?, which aims at
    assessing and reducing risk. This framework and a global review of disaster reduction
    initiatives of the United Nations acknowledge the need for information systems
    research contributions in addressing major challenges of natural disaster management.
    In this paper, we provide a review of the literature with regard to how information
    systems research has addressed risk assessment and reduction in natural disaster
    management. Based on the review we identify research gaps that are centered around
    the need for acquiring general knowledge on how to design IS artifacts for risk
    assessment and reduction. In order to close these gaps in further research, we
    develop a research agenda that follows the IS design science paradigm.
