Description
Summary:The action researcher works collaboratively with practitioners to bring about change. [...]informants in traditional research become co-researchers in action research. Action research and its variants have not been in the mainstream within the project research community. [...]we have tried to bring action research to the fore through the special tracks at EURAM 2018 and 2019 as well as through this special issue over the past four years. According to Gustavsen (2005), action research has a role in promoting innovation through collaborative inquiry and action. Papers published in this special issue The 10 papers selected for this special issue demonstrate the richness of action research-oriented approaches and their potential for unique contributions to project studies and project management, contributions that are not easily achieved using alternative approaches.
