Connecting academia and industry
Our Research Method is based on action research, specifically industry-as-laboratory. The reasons for using action research are the high level of practical relevance of the business, it can be used with qualitative data, and it helps to gain in-depth knowledge about the problem. The research is done in iterative cycles, where reflective practice plays a significant role.
