Mixing Methods for Organisational Intervention: Background and Current Status
نویسنده
چکیده
Tracing the historical development of mixed-mode modelling from a theoretical and practical perspective leads to an understanding of the domain as substantially underpinned by critical social theory. A ‘natural’ progression is discerned, from which it is argued that the logical future direction for mixed-mode modelling is one grounded on theories of communicative action. The beginnings of a framework for such a project are outlined, together with the plans for the next stage of this project. This future is seen to lie, not in the development of a methodology, but rather in guidelines for communicative action which can be followed irrespective of methodological choice.
