| Abstract: | This article describes the concept of action science, outlines its origins in Lewinian action research, develops its application to research in organizations through the "clinical perspective in fieldwork" as an intervention discipline oriented toward problem-solving. The paper contrasts it with the participant-observer approaches of ethnography and shows how case study date can be utilised as action science. The aim of this article is to present action science as a valid and useful way of doing research in organizations. |
