• Action Design Research (2011, background): “DR thus places axiological emphasis on utility (Venable 2006) traced to the problem identified at the beginning of the research project.”
• A Framework for Theory Development in Design Science Research: Multiple Perspectives (2012, unknown): “Venable (2006) makes a strong case that in addition to design information, design theory (ISDT) necessarily makes utility claims; these are of the form: If you construct an artifact according to this design specification and follow this design process, this useful result will ensue.”
• Experiences from Sequential Use of Mixed Methods (2011, background): “and Venable, J. (2009). Action research and design science research – seemingly similar but decisively dissimilar.”
