Identifying New Roles and Actors in Action Research Management Studies in Specific Support Infrastructures
This study examines an extended view of both actors and roles of Action Research studies in the field of management. More specifically, we study the new actors and roles considering three specific support infrastructures: long-term funded projects; collaborative agreements; and educational programs. We carry out three stages based on a systematic literature review with Prisma methodology. Our findings permit identifying new actors and roles along…
Master’s Theses Driven by Action Research: Insights From a Colombian Innovation Program
Current global challenges demand greater university-business relationships to achieve effective solutions. That is why the Action Research (AR) methodology has become popular among academics. Often, these academics are master’s students equipped with classroom knowledge, attempting to tackle organizational issues through their theses. However, the literature is scarce on how this methodology, when applied to master’s theses, effectively resolves …
Relevant Factors Influencing Cognitive Distance in the Performance of Collaborative Research Projects
The research scope of this paper is to reinforce the need to strengthen university-firm relationship. We consider that it is crucial that the interactions between researcher/university and managers/firms should be based on a win-win relationship. In this sense, it is relevant to determine the main drivers behind the success of collaborative research projects, and this study focuses on one of them: cognitive distance. The specific objective of thi…
Supply Chain Management: Some reflections to improve its influence in business strategy
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a nearly new discipline of management that can be seen in different ways. However, only a strategic approach of SCM that leads to subsequent tactical decisions and operational implementation will provide the benefits that scm promises. A presentation of the evolution of scm from its beginnings as part of Operations Management (OM) to an independent field in management has the objective of determining its correct …
An Evaluation Framework for the Dual Contribution of Action Research: Opportunities and Challenges in the Field of Operations Management
The aim of this paper is to analyze the dual contribution of action research (AR) both for research as well as business practice, and how this methodology puts into practice a win-win collaboration between researchers and practitioners. In order to get this, we define three specific objectives: first, we develop an evaluation framework to assess the contribution of AR methodology for research and practitioners in the field of management. Second, …
Action Research as a Meta-Methodology in the Management Field
Although it was first developed in the field of psychology, action research is a methodology of growing importance in business and management contexts. In this research article, we focus on a significant aspect of action research: the variety of methodologies that can be used jointly in an action research study and its relationships. More specifically, the aim of this study is to underscore the definition of action research as a meta-methodology …
Spanish University Business Chairs used to increase the deployment of Action Research in Operations Management: A case study and analysis
This research identifies Action Research as a methodology that can play an important role in enhancing the contribution of universities to the improvement of business competitiveness through Operations Management research. We propose that a Business Chair, defined as an agreement between a university and a business organization, can be a useful tool in research projects based on Action Research methodology. We analyze a set of Business Chairs in …
