Summary:

In this enduring classic, prominent authorities on organizational research describe how they have tried to make their own research approaches useful for theory and practice. Other experts interpret and comment on these contributions, and in the ensuing discussions and debates, the participants provide valuable insights into how these researchers think about their work, how they formulate problems and research strategies, and the reasons they use particular methods.
