Comprehensive Framework for Evaluation in Design Science Research

1. The document discusses the importance of all the features which has to be considered while the evaluation occurs such as the purpose of the evaluation, nature of the evaluands, design goals and methodology.
2. The different purposes of evaluation are discussed in the paper such as the performance of the artefact, utility of the artefact and efficiency of the resultant evaluand. One of the most significant purposes of the evaluation in DSR is to authenticate the ID design theories (Lewis, 2015). Identification of the better artefact with enhanced features is the other aim of the evaluation as the better one can be used for a longer period of time. Formative evaluation is the final purpose of the evaluation which states the strengths and weaknesses of an artefact (Venable, Pries-Heje & Baskerville, 2012).
3. The qualities of the evaluands are evaluated based on accuracy, performance, functionality, completeness, consistency, reliability and usability.
4. There are different kinds of artifacts in DSR like the product artifacts, process artifacts, technical artifacts and socio-technical artifacts (McKenney & Reeves, 2018). The three different types of objectives of the evaluation design in DSR are ethics, efficiency and rigor.
5. The different types of evaluation methods used in DSR are different for different authors. The paper concludes by stating the importance of evaluation in IS Design Science Research and its impact on the aspiring DSR researchers for enhancing their effectiveness (Abdulkadiro?lu et al., 2017).

Exploring the synergy between entrepreneurship and innovation

1. This paper discusses the combination of the entrepreneurship and innovation in the dynamic environment for accomplishing organisational sustainability (Chatterji, Glaeser & Kerr, 2014). The paper develops an integrative agenda of the collaboration between innovation and entrepreneurship.
2. The paper discusses the factors affecting the connections between innovation and entrepreneurship and what effect does it have on the commercialisation of innovations.
3. The paper discusses the key elements of entrepreneurship which are proactivity, innovation and risk taking, but these elements are subjected to changes according to the situation (Galindo & Méndez, 2014).
4. The paper focuses on the difference between the entrepreneurs and the small business owners and discusses the similarities between the entrepreneurship and corporate entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship.
5. The innovation dimensions are product vs. process, administrative vs. technological and radical vs. incremental.
6. The article also highlights the cultural issues which have an impact on the innovation and entrepreneurship.
7. Based on this article it can be stated that innovation is the foundation of the entrepreneurship and both are related to each other. An entrepreneur uses innovation to enhance their business (Sahut & Peris-Ortiz, 2014). A good organisational culture and effective management style is required for successful commercialisation of innovation.
8. The different types of issues related to the application of innovation and entrepreneurship in business organisations are highlighted in the later stages of the paper along with the pro-active strategies (Zhao, 2005). The paper concludes with an integrated framework and also highlighted the importance of significant parameters such as the managerial styles and skills, entrepreneurial capacities and staff members as these can have a direct impact on the growth and development of the business.
