Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the concept of action by addressing actions and roles in the practice of action research, illustrated by dilemmas in an action research project on information systems development in public sector. The main ambition with action research is being able to solve organisational problems through intervention and to contribute to scientific knowledge. The main emphasis has so far been on the “research part”. Here the authors focus on the “action part” of action research to generate rigorous research, to solve local problems and to deal with evident dilemmas in action research. Design/methodology/approach This is a qualitative case study. The empirical illustrations of this paper originate from an action research project that focused the two e-service development initiatives analysed below. The analysis is structured using key aspects and phases proposed by Avison et al. (2001). As a result of the analysis, the concept of action is elaborated. The action elements action, actor, motive, space and time are analysed together with different roles. This goes beyond the existing action research literature. Findings The conclusions show that there is a need to understand actions and roles within action research projects – not separating action from research. Research is also seen as action. The practice of action research is also discussed as context-bounded interactive social action: action research as a recurrent, interactive and dynamic activity. It is also identified that the understanding of roles, actions and interaction can help handle dilemmas in action research. Research Limitations/implications The authors contribute to the body of knowledge concerning action research in the information systems research field and in general by exploring the need to study the concept of action (e.g. situations and elements), to be explicit concerning the different phases, roles and responsibilities and management of different dilemmas in action research. A limitation of this study is that the inter-organisational development character in this study adds an extra dimension into the practice of actions research only partially highlighted. Another limitation is focus on public agencies. However, this is not critical for the results on action elements and the action research dilemmas that are studied. Practical Implications The understanding of roles, actions and interaction can solve the dilemmas and challenges linked to the practice of action research in the information systems field, but such understanding can help discover and handle dilemmas in action research. Originality/value The originality in this research is an illustration of and a perspective of action research as a context-bounded interactive social action: action research as a recurrent, interactive and dynamic activity. The value is that this knowledge can help handle dilemmas in action research.

Abstract:
The case of Action Research drives a wedge between two opposite views of research methodology: an 'exclusive ' (Platonic/theoretical) one which insists that only objective and quantitative inquiries (as in physics) are genuine scientific research, and an 'inclusive ' (Aristotelian/practical) one that recognizes a need to adapt the research methods of different inquiries to the nature of their problems. The latter approach involves seeing issues of methodology as dependent on half-a-dozen contextual factors, which are crucial to Action Research, yet which the former approach ignores.

Abstract:
Theatre directors need to solve numerous problems during the process of production, from their discussion of ideas with designers during pre-production, to their bargaining with producers to achieve a vision that does not exceed the budget. Then during rehearsal, directors may be faced with a cast drawn from different backgrounds of training and with various levels of experience. This thesis poses practical questions for directors: What should they do to make suitable decisions in a complex situation? And can the use of the action research framework help them make the best choice? Action research is an interactive inquiry process that integrates the implementation of a plan by developing an understanding of its effectiveness. As distinct from many forms of conventional academic research (Kemmis and McTaggart 1988, McNiff and Whitehead 2011), those actively employing action research – such as education and nursing professionals - participate in an ongoing testing and monitoring of improvements through its practice. Having acknowledged that they have found it to be a successful tool to assess, change and produce practical knowledge, this investigation seeks to determine if it can also be of benefit to the creative world of the theatre director. This thesis also reviews ethnographic fieldwork technique as a means of augmenting the ‘observation’ stage in the action research framework. Drawing on my (observer-participant) observation of the production Three Brothers, I describe how the directorial process shares some of the features of action research, even though the director is not consciously deploying them. Then, appointed as director of Principle, I am given the opportunity to work as decision-maker at rehearsals which normally take place behind doors closed to the public. This enables me to reveal the many complexities faced by the director. In both cases, they reveal the way directors can benefit from applying action research themselves.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to better understand the role of the facilitator in action learning groups. In particular, it focuses on groups established within an organisation, in which the facilitator is a member of the organisation. The two central research questions are: (1) How did the facilitator influence problem solving and group interactions, and how did this vary over time and between each group, and (2) How did the facilitator's role in the organisation impact on the action learning groups? The methodology of action research and a number of principles of grounded theory are employed. The investigation was conducted within a large public teaching hospital over a two year period. Four groups volunteered to participate in the project. Two of these groups were already established and two were newly created for the purpose of the research project. The groups came from different departments and members represented a range of professional backgrounds. The size of the groups ranged from 5 to 12 participants. Each group identified a real and significant project to work through using an action learning approach. The researcher negotiated with each group what it wanted from a facilitator role, and then facilitated each meeting. All group meetings and individual interviews were audiotaped and the facilitator kept journal notes after each meeting or interview. Two potential methodological issues arose. The first related to the application of some of the principles of grounded theory to the action research investigation. The second was that the study was conducted in the researcher???s own organisation while the researcher was employed full-time, and this posed particular issues. Literature related to action learning, process consultation and small group facilitation was explored in the literature review. The purpose of this review was to critically evaluate different perspectives and approaches by frequently cited authors in these subjects, and to understand the uses and limitations of existing models. This gave the researcher an understanding of gaps in the literature related to (1) the role of the facilitator of action learning groups, and (2) conducting research in one???s organisation. Data were analysed for each group separately and then compared and contrasted in the final chapter. The objectives of the analysis were to (1) examine how the findings for each individual group address the research questions, (2) explore how the findings in each group change over time, and (2) examine how and why the findings in the groups were similar and different to each other. The findings across each of the groups have similarities and differences. There were seven interventions used by the facilitator that were common across the groups. The interventions changed over the duration of the project. Process skills were required to different degrees and at different times. Nine hypotheses were developed as the theory. Some key findings are as follows. First, it was found that groups that have not had prior experience in action learning do not understand the concept and process of facilitation and are unable to articulate in advance what they want from the facilitator. Second, the role of the facilitator cannot be separated from the skills, values and understandings of the individual facilitator. Third, a major role of the facilitator in this investigation was sharing knowledge of the organisation, the broader health care sector, and general management. In each group the facilitator performed both process and content roles, and a further role that can be called ????????????contextualising???. The findings show there is a distinction between the theoretical role and the role of an individual facilitator in practice. Further research opportunities are identified. These include (1) understanding how participants who have been involved in a facilitated action learning group may be able to apply their experience in a non-facilitated action learning group; (2) comparing the needs and expectations of participants in a facilitated action learning group within an organisation with action learning participants who are not part of an organisation; (3) understanding how facilitation of an action learning group within an organisation may change if the facilitator is in a management role, or in a peer position with participants.

Full text
Abstract:
The theoretical literature to support good research practice, either action research or science, appears to lack practical guidelines for conducting systematic inquiry, within the contingencies of a given research context. I suggest this lack is due to some misconceptions about the nature of good research. In order to re-dress this lack and to enhance the practices of both methods of inquiry, I wish to challenge what I believe to be some wrong assumptions about good research. I will base my challenge on the empirical evidence of 22 case studies of acknowledged good research in both action research and agricultural science and on the understanding of knowledge as defined by the philosophical sceptics, ie that the ideal of ‘true and certain knowledge’ is unattainable. The assumptions about good research that I wish to challenge are: that there is one scientific or action research method, that prescriptive theoretical literature provides a basis for sound practice, that research is a search for truth, that participation is the defining feature of action research and that action research and science are incommensurable. On the basis of my argument that action research and science are not incommensurable, I will suggest guidelines for the practice of rigorous systematic inquiry which are relevant to both methodologies. If those guidelines are acceptable to all researchers, they can provide a basis for collaborative research between action researchers and scientists which can improve the quality of research results for clients. Such collaboration can also improve the practice of the researchers by enabling them to learn methods of systematic inquiry from each other’s processes. I will demonstrate an application of these guidelines with a case study of a collaborative and participative research project conducted by myself and an agricultural scientist colleague.

A melhoria dos processos de negócios é considerada importante para o suporte da competitividade e sustentabilidade das companhias, ganhando assim, destaque na comunidade acadêmica. Neste sentido, a obtenção de melhorias nos processos organizacionais pode ser obtida por meio do (re)desenho dos processos de negócios, o qual é considerado a etapa de maior valor agregado dos projetos de gestão de processos de negócios. Contudo, apesar da existência de uma literatura ampla a respeito da temática de (re)desenho de processos de negócios, as metodologias ou procedimentos estruturados que visam garantir o entendimento da transformação dos processos atuais as-is para futuros to-be ainda são escassos. Neste contexto, visando preencher esta lacuna presente na literatura, este estudo apresenta os achados empíricos e as lições apreendidas durante a realização de uma pesquisa ação com o objetivo de (re)desenhar os processos logísticos de uma empresa de produção cultural. O estudo empírico teve duração de nove meses. Um modelo conceitual de síntese de (re)desenho de processos de negócios organizacionais foi proposto a partir da literatura. Este modelo incorporou três camadas (i.e., organização, processos de negócios e implementação) e guiou a condução do estudo empírico. Diferentes fatores críticos de sucesso e barreiras foram identificados e analisados com foco nas dimensões organizacionais, sociais e técnicas, resultando em contribuições para pesquisadores da academia e para os especialistas da indústria em abordagens de (re)desenho de processos de negócios.
The improvement of business processes is considered important to support companies competitiveness and sustainability, therefore, being highlighted in the academic community. In this way, the improvement of the organizational processes can be achieved through the business processes redesign, which is considered the most value-added phase in a business process management (BPM) project. However, despite the existence of an extensive literature on the subject of business processes redesign, methodologies or structured procedures that aim to understand the transformation from the as-is to the desired to-be processes are still scarce. Within this context, in order to fill this gap in the literature, this study presents the empirical findings and the lessons learnt from an action research with the objective of redesigning the logistic processes of a cultural production enterprise. The empirical study lasted nine months. A synthesis conceptual model for redesigning organizational business processes was proposed based on the literature. This model incorporated three tiers (i.e., organization, business processes and implementation) and provided guidance for conducting the empirical study. Different critical success factors and barriers have been identified and analyzed with a focus on organizational, social, and technical dimensions, resulting in contributions to scholars and to practitioners in redesigning business process approaches.

Full text
Abstract:
Face recognition and video summarization represent challenging tasks for several computer vision applications including video surveillance, criminal investigations, and sports applications. For long videos, it is difficult to search within a video for a specific action and/or person. Usually, human action recognition approaches presented in the literature deal with videos that contain only a single person, and they are able to recognize his action. This paper proposes an effective approach to multiple human action detection, recognition, and summarization. The multiple action detection extracts human bodies’ silhouette then generates a specific sequence for each one of them using motion detection and tracking method. Each of the extracted sequences is then divided into shots that represent homogeneous actions in the sequence using the similarity between each pair frames. Using the histogram of the oriented gradient (HOG) of the temporal difference map (TDMap) of the frames of each shot, we recognize the action by performing a comparison between the generated HOG and the existed HOGs in the training phase which represents all the HOGs of many actions using a set of videos for training.

Abstract:
This paper synthesizes relevant research fields that build the conceptual foundation of algorithmic nudging specifically for sustainability in e-commerce. The carbon footprint of ecommerce can be reduced by encouraging consumers to engage in more sustainable consumer behaviour with regards to products, packaging, delivery options, and returns. Such behaviour can be steered by employing different nudging techniques along the digital customer journey. The use of artificial intelligence can increase the effectiveness of digital nudges by tailoring them to specific individual contexts. In this article, we propose a conceptual framework for the application of algorithmic nudging to increase sustainability in e-commerce. We also derive several research avenues to spark a wide array of empirical studies to move forward this emerging topic.

Abstract:
Participatory research challenges the academic tradition in which the scientist is at the center of decisions in the research process. Inspired by popular education, this approach allows members of the community to question their living conditions and develop solutions to improve them from a social justice perspective. These guides were developed and tested as part of two participatory action research projects carried out by Oxfam-Québec with young people (18–30 years old). The two guides provide the key steps to carry out research, build a questionnaire, develop a collective action plan and measure the impacts of the actions implemented.

Barlow, Tim, and Olivia Cairns. Idling Action Research - Review of Emissions Data. TRL, March 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.58446/csjk8557.

Full text
Abstract:
TRL were commissioned by City of London to undertake research into the vehicle emissions emitted whilst idling. Across all 32 London Boroughs, campaigns have been launched to raise public awareness of the impact of idling on environmental air quality and human health. These campaigns use a combination of education, training and enforcement. Historically, the key strapline that has been used in campaigns UK-wide is that an idling car can fill up to 150 balloons with harmful exhaust emissions every minute. However, the reliability and applicability of this statement to the vehicles in London today has recently been called into question. This project aimed to provide an updated, evidence-based conclusion to support the upcoming anti-idling campaign planned for launch in February 2021.Through analysis of real-world data, TRL have quantified the emissions and associated costs from idling events, taking into account NO2, NOx, NO and CO2 emissions from petrol and diesel cars and vans. TRL have then compared the outputs to tangible constructs so the impact of idling can be easily understood by a wide audience.

Abstract:
This research agenda outlines pertinent issues needed to produce an informed assessment of the strategies and policies LAC and international organizations should adopt with respect to climate change. The report makes three contributions: i) identifying actions that could be valuable but have not been highlighted; ii) advising on actions that could be ineffective and costly, given limited resources; and iii) recommending an evaluation of what elements require further analysis before objectives are translated into action.

Rob, Ubaidur, and Donna Nager. Support for research, dissemination, utilization, and policy in Bangladesh. Population Council, 1995. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1995.1030.

Full text
Abstract:
Through the initiative of the Family Planning Fortnight: Meeting the Future Challenges, held in December 1993, the Government of Bangladesh made a policy statement about the critical importance of dealing with the nation's population problem. The Fortnight provided the strategic framework for developing actions to strengthen the National Family Planning Program that would meet the country's population challenges. To initiate rapid action, the Family Planning Fortnight Steering Committee, under the chairmanship of the Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, formed a working group to prepare a report that would capitalize on all earlier efforts and lay out a plan of action. The working group identified a number of priority areas requiring immediate action to regain the momentum of the National Family Planning Program, and to ensure success in meeting the government's demographic, social, and economic goals. The working group recognized that there are a number of long-term, strategic policy issues that also require quick attention. As noted in this report, efforts to increase the dissemination and utilization of research results for policy formulation have been productive in Bangladesh from the perspective of the government, NG0s, and donors.
