Chisholm, Rupert F., and Elden Max (1993) Features of
emerging action research. Human Relations, 46(2), 275-298. A follow-up
to Elden and Chisholm (1993). In summing up the conclusions drawn from
articles in a special issue of Human Relations, the authors identify five
main dimensions to action research: 1: system level of client system; 2:
degree of organisation of research setting; 3: degree of openness of research
process; 4: goals and purpose of research; 5: role of researchers.
