"In the Western economies there is a growing focus on innovation as the
key to economic growth. In spite of its orientation towards transcending
the given, and creating something new, action research has so far played a
limited role as a resource in innovation. Departing from practice-driven
innovation and the need for collaboration between many actors, a key role
for action research as promoter of joint inquiries in dialogical form and

action research programmes in Scandinavia. The core challenge for action

action, but to reach a level of scale, or mass, that makes innovation possible." (author's abstract)... view less
