| Abstract: | This paper takes as its focus, the complex, challenging and sometimes problematic relationship between management practice and the practice of management research. Practicing managers and management researchers both tend to care passionately about the same subject. However, despite their common concerns, they remain two distinct audiences. This paper describes a five year research process, involving a range of 25 organisations drawn from the public and private sectors. During the period covered by the paper, a network of practitioners and academics co-developed a research agenda and a number of research projects were undertaken to explore this agenda. The projects ranged from a few weeks in some cases, to 12-24 months in most. |
