Table 4.

Applied ADR entry points (Mullarkey and Hevner, 2019).

Entry points	Descriptions	Activities	Questions
Problem-centred	Understand and define the specific research problem; understand and define the solution space	Problem Identification; motivations and goals for ADR project	What is the problem to be solved in practice? What are the research goals of the project? Why do existing solution fall short?
Objective-centred	Explore the design options based project objectives; generate design knowledge of what is feasible in the solution space	Solution Design; development of design principles	What would a better hybrid environment accomplish? What are its critical design principles and features? What is possible? What is feasible?
Development-centred	Implementation of the solution for the hybrid environment e.g., novel technology to address research problem; demonstrate satisfactory solution for the hybrid environment problem	Solution implementation; proofing of solution	How does the instantiated hybrid environment solve the problem? How to evaluate the goodness of the solution?
Observation-centred	Observe existing solution in context; identify possible evolution opportunities for the current solution	Improvement goals; evolution possibilities for existing solution	How has the solution continued to solve the problem? How has the problem changed and demanded changes or improvements to the solution?
