And Design Science is the ongoing topic of our discussion. With prof. Gregor I talk about how she was drawn to the fundamental questions and why she wants to answer them. How she participated and made contribution to the ongoing development of design science research in IS. We also discuss the interesting court case related to design science, discuss the possible contribution of abduction, Simon's artificial science, the future of IS and much more.
