Abstract

Managerial Relevance Statement: From a managerial perspective, studying the design process provides the knowledge that research project managers need for managing and guiding DSR projects. In particular, research project managers can guide the search process by understanding when and why to explore different search spaces, to expand the solutions investigated, and to focus on promising solutions and to evaluate them. Overall, this research contributes to our knowledge of design and the design process, especially for highly research-oriented problems and solutions.
