En savoir plus sur le livre
The relationship between theory and practice, research and action, is crucial in applied social science. The question arises: should research findings be useful for science, practice, and policy? If so, how should research be designed, conducted, and disseminated to balance rigor and relevance? This is especially pertinent in management and organization studies, where researchers have a responsibility to engage with the "real world." In this insightful book, Andrew Van de Ven addresses the challenge of "engaged scholarship" and provides a framework for conducting sound and impactful research that advances both science and practice. Amid debates about the value of academic knowledge and the need for closer ties between researchers and users—such as businesses and governments—the concept of engaged scholarship remains vital. Van de Ven offers a thoughtful approach that serves as both a manifesto for engaged scholarship in social sciences and a guide for research design and methodology. This book will be an essential resource for academics, researchers, and graduate students focused on producing rigorous and relevant research in today's context.
