Action Research for Management Research
提出并讨论了12条论点，论证行动研究项目可作为高质量研究，涉及普遍性、理论生成、实用焦点、设计及有效性等问题。
Action research has become increasingly prominent among management researchers as an espoused paradigm used to justify the validity of a range of research outputs. In this paper we introduce and discuss 12 contentions which, we argue, justify an action research project as quality research. The contentions are presented through a discussion of a number of important issues: generality and theory generation, the type of theory development appropriate to action research, the pragmatic focus of action research, designing action research and validity of action research.
