Towards Continuum-focused Methodology for Information Systems Research and development

The indent of this study is in the Continuum-focused Methodology of Information Systems Research and utilization of outcomes of research and development as continuums of subjects: understanding; innovating; demonstrating; building; testing; improving; transforming; experiencing; evaluating; implementing; and disseminating. The main research finding of this study is that continuums and path dependency of studies, entities and mechanisms, and sustain novelty analysis of research outcomes are imperative for high-value real-world impacts through: systematic research programs; integrative model; focused university strategy; multimethodological approach; and inheritance of research consortiums results. The study addresses to the realization and analysis of the research and development projects of European Union and Finnish Programmes for Research and Innovations.
