Abstract

This paper describes a research approach to an evaluation of a Design Science Research (DSR) Artefact in the field of Agile Enterprise Design. The Artefact, the result of a program which engineered and combined three methodologies, is developed on the basis of an emerging concept since 2009 and recently (in 2016) implemented in several information systems. Because of the availability of several implementations of the artefact, a post evaluation based on hypothesis testing of the real artefacts is a feasible and necessary next research step, on which will we elaborate in this paper. Rather than a research question, three hypotheses are proposed in this research.
