Recenzii

Clear and engaging, this updated and enhanced edition is essential reading for anyone interested in insider action research. It provides a comprehensive guide to the processes and challenges of action research, as well as helpful reflective exercises and recommended resources. I would highly recommend to students, novice researchers and academic supervisors of all disciplines.

This seminal text about insider action research will guide and inspire readers through content, exercises and compelling practical examples. David writes with high integrity as he personifies how to be attentive, humble and responsible when inquiring with people into the organizational dynamics they want to change.

Grounded in research and thoughtful reflection, David Coghlan’s fifth edition of Doing Action Research in Your Own Organization offers an accessible new structure, and conceptual illustrations provide highly useful guidance that is well-tailored to the student’s own learning journey.

The book is life-changing for me as a management practitioner and academic researcher.  It has led me to acquire the habit of reflection and consequently, depth in my analysis and practice. No other book could have guided me in this manner.

A book that recognises and values the way people engaging in insider action research put their ‘heart and soul’ into the endeavour. It
speaks to the heart, whilst also providing insights into how best to use ‘our heads and hands’ as insider action researchers.
