"Exploring and exploiting the richness and reach of large scale action research
projects is a challenge. This challenge focuses inwards as it addresses
critical issues of enacting, managing and coordinating the actions
of the project and engaging in the reflective processes of learning-inaction
and knowledge generation by multiple actors and groups engaged
in the project. It simultaneously focuses outwards as it seeks to exploit
both the processes of the action research itself and the dissemination of actionable
knowledge to multiple audiences. This article describes and reflects
upon the challenges of exploring and exploiting richness and reach
arising in the CO-IMPROVE project, a European Union (EU) funded initiative
involving action research in complex networks of academics and
business. The objectives of CO-IMPROVE included the facilitation of
collaborative improvement of operations practice and performance in the
extended manufacturing enterprise through action research among both
managers and academics." (author's abstract)... view less
