"Action research is not only a method.": 5 questions answered by Marianne Kristiansen and Jørgen Bloch-Poulsen, authors of Action Research in Organizations. Participation in Change Processes

Who decides to initiate change processes in organisations? Who sets the goals? What does it mean for employees to participate in change processes? The book examines organisational change processes based on collaboration between employers, employees and action researchers in Europe and the U.S. in the later part of the 20^th century. The authors offer important insights into participation and change in organisations for researchers and practitioners by identifying dilemmas and paradoxes, conflicting interests and exercising of power.
