dc.description.abstract | This paper presents research relating to the challenges of conducting research in a complex, socio-technical system. The result of this research is that a conventional research approach is fundamentally reactive and does not always produce the desired results when applied to such a complex, socio-technical system. The literature suggests that approaching the research from a problem investigation and problem improvement point of view will provide better results. This article describes the design of a research tool using a design science research methodology that can be used for such investigations and improvement identification and evaluation activities. | en_ZA |
dc.description.abstract | Hierdie artikel bespreek van die uitdagings wat ondervind word wanneer daar navorsing gedoen word in 'n komplekse sosio-tegniese stelsel. Die navorsing toon dat die tradisionele navorsings-benadering in n komplekse sosio-tegniese omgewing fundamenteel reaktief is, en dat dit nie altyd die gewense resultate teweeg bring nie. Uit die literatuur het dit duidelik geword dat n meer gewense oplossing is om die navorsing van uit n probleemondersoek- en probleemverbeteringsoogpunt te benader. Hierdie artikel bespreek die ontwerp van n navorsingsinstrument deur gebruik te maak van n ontwerpswetenskap navorsingsmetodologie. Dit kan gebruik word vir soortgelyke ondersoeke en vir die identifisering en evaluasie van moontlike verbeterings. | |
