Based on the approach we strive for constructing useful artifacts that guide the successful and situational design of EAM. In order to do so we argue for a thorough analysis of the design problem in advance. This is realized by a two-step survey conducted on EAM practices. The empirical analysis reveals eight determining design factors of EAM, a delineation of three different types of EAM design in the form of clusters as well as insight about the successfulness of the different types.enconference paper
