Unlike the notions of design theories arising from information systems, management design theories can appear as a system of technological rules, much as a system of hypotheses or propositions can embody scientific theories. The paper illus trates this form of management design theories with three grounded cases. These grounded cases include a software process improvement study, a user involvement study, and an organizational change study. Collectively these studies demonstrate how design theories founded on technological rules can not only improve the design of information systems, but that these concepts have great practical value for improving the framing of strategic organi zational design decisions about such systems. Each case is either grounded in an empirical sense, that is to say, actual practice, or it is grounded to practices described extensively in the practical literature. Such design theories will help managers more easily approach complex, strategic decisions. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01060405/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01060405/file/318_16_PriesHejeBaskerville.pdf %L hal-01060405 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01060405 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-AICT-318 %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC8 %~ IFIP-WG8-2 %~ IFIP-WG8-6 %~ IFIP-2010
