By doing this manner explicitly recognizes organizational human contexts, we better orient our work toward needs various constituencies. look two specific examples potentially rich areas enquiry: workflow management semantic Web. Using design science paradigm, describe how these can serve as exemplars address key concerns conclude by discussing roles authors, journals, itself play addressing challenges are presented.
