 abstract = {"The article outlines the background and action research strategy followed
in a large scale development project in the Telemark region SW of Oslo.
The project is a part of a national, tripartite, R&D programme, “Value
Creation 2010”, which started in 2000 as a continuation of the series of
work life democratization efforts initiated in 1962. The choice of action
research methods applied is explained and discussed. Further, we present
the practical outcomes in terms of commitment to new ways of organizing
work across boundaries, the economic performance of the networks, the
creation and securing of jobs and organisational innovations. The potential
for further economic development in the region is discussed." (author's abstract)},
