Engaged Scholarship: A Guide for Organizational and Social Research

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Andy Van de Ven is internationally renowned for doing superbly crafted research that has made a difference in resolving societal problems. In this book, he teaches us all how to define problems, contribute to theory, offer resolutions, and communicate results in ways that transform the knowledge-practice gap, making it into a well-travelled two-way street. Experienced researchers will find much to learn in this sophisticated guide to bridging the knowledge-practice gap and students will make it their methodology bible.

My copy is already littered with passages marked by underlinings, folded corners, and Post-it notes.' Joanne Martin, Merrill Professor of Organizational Behavior, Emerita, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University 'This is another profound and practical piece of scholarship from Andrew van de Ven. He deserves credit for challenging the limitations of much current management research and for projecting a view of a more engaged and practical form of scholarship.' Andrew M. Pettigrew, Dean, School of Management, University of Bath, UK 'For decades I've admired Andy's systematic application of the "diamond model" outlined in this book. Andy's impressive list of accomplishments, both as a scholar and as a trainer of scholars, speaks to why this is a long awaited field guide to what has become known as engaged scholarship. This book is a gold mine of practical, proven wisdom for anyone seeking to effectively bridge the realms of theory and practice. I suspect we are witnessing the birth of an organizational studies classic.' David A. Whetten, Director, Brigham Young University Faculty Center
