Thoughtlet: Linking theory and practice: Action science
Mots-clés :
action science, action research, system dynamics, theories of action, theory-in-use, espoused theoryRésumé
A simple question and a simple but surprising answer provide the foundation for the substantial theoretical and practical framework now known as action science. This brief paper sets out the framework, the question and answer, and some practical implications for action learning and action research. Later, I also suggest that it has even more relevance now than it did when it was first developed.
