In Search of Relevance: Perspectives on the Contribution of Academic—Practitioner Networks
探讨学术研究对组织实践的相关性，通过两种理论视角分析作者参与的学术—实践者合作案例，揭示如何生产对实践者有用的知识，并减轻对产学研合作的不切实际要求。
This paper contributes to the current debate on the relevance of academic research to organizational practice but departs from the conventional view of perceiving the problem as one of improving the diffusion of knowledge from research to practice. Two theoretical lenses — Mode 2 and actor network theory — are drawn upon to examine case vignettes of the authors’ involvement in academic—practitioner collaborations. The resulting analysis assists us in understanding the production of knowledge relevant to practitioners and, by implication, has the potential to free industry—academic collaborations of unrealistic demands.
