Abstract
This article characterizes design systems as an object of academic research and proposes a research agenda derived from that characterization. The study combines two strands: the grey literature produced by practitioners in the professional field, and the academic output retrieved through a structured search across four indexed databases, a process that retained 25 relevant studies, all published between 2020 and 2025. The grey literature defines design systems through three perspectives in circulation, the artefactual, the linguistic and the organizational, each descriptively rich yet unconnected to the others. The academic output concentrates on the technical and organizational manifestations of the phenomenon and is marked by scarcity, thematic fragmentation and an absence of integrative conceptual models. From the articulation of both characterizations follows an agenda structured in five lines, ranging from the proposal of integrative conceptual models to methodological reflection on how the object is studied. Characterization and agenda offer a starting point for the field's maturation as an object of academic research.
The relevance of scholarly research is a core concern for many scholars in the field of organizations and management, leading to an ever‐growing body of literature on the topic. However, discussions, regarding the challenges of attaining relevance and the proposed solutions, tend to be repetitive and reflect little p...

Contemporary social, economic, and environmental challenges require methodological approaches that integrate research, creativity, and participation to foster social innovation. Although design has evolved into a strategic discipline for addressing complex societal problems, research is often treated as a preliminary o...

This paper examines how the design science paradigm has been incorporated and progressively consolidated within Project Studies, and how this trajectory can inform future research. It analyses publication patterns, intellectual configuration, artefact types, problem classes, analytical levels, methodological approa...

Academic research is often narrated retrospectively as a coherent and linear journey: a clearly defined question, a carefully chosen method and a set of outcomes that appear to follow logically from the initial design. Yet for many postgraduate researchers, the lived experience of research is far messier. It is shaped...
This review synthesizes nearly 25 years of research on the Technology Readiness Index (TRI), drawing on a corpus of 227 peer‐reviewed journal articles published between 2000 and 2025. By combining longitudinal bibliometric analysis with a focused systematic review of TRI‐specific studies, the paper examines how the c...

This study reconceptualizes organizational performance through the lens of systems thinking, arguing that conventional financial and efficiency-based approaches are increasingly inadequate for capturing the complexity of contemporary organizations. In response, this study develops a systemic conceptualization of perfor...
