Understanding participant actions in OR interventions using practice theories: A research agenda
本文梳理实践理论的发展，分析运筹学研究者如何运用这些理论来研究研讨会和会议中的参与者行动，并提出了一个研究议程以推动实践理论在运筹学中的应用。
Practice theory is a collective concept embodying a group of social theories that take practice, in other words actions, as the central focus of their theorising. In this paper we examine the intellectual development of practice theory, highlighting the importance of the key ideas that have shaped thinking on organisational activities and show their relevance to OR. In particular, we examine the social theories that OR researchers have adopted, what data was captured, and how it was analysed in order to establish empirical grounding in case studies involving workshops and meetings published by OR researchers. The cases thus provide a useful empirical basis for comparison to outline the prospects for the use of practice theories by OR academic researchers. Finally, we propose an agenda to advance the understanding of practice theories and their contribution to the theory and practice of OR.
