Sciences of the artificial and knowledge production: the crucial role of intervention research in management sciences

摘要

Intervention research is a method which can be extremely fertile in developing "publishable" knowledge in management science, when this is viewed as a science which engineers(rather than analyzes) socio-economic organizations. Its fertility also results from the fact that it facilitates the appropriation and use of some of this knowl- edge by practitioners. This clearly supposes that researchers have the project of producing both "actionable" and "publishable" knowledge.
