Doing Action Research in Your Own Organization by David Coghlan

Doing Action Research is the ideal book for doctoral, MA or MBA students seeking a research topic that is based on leading change in their own organization and is essential reading for practitioner researchers and established academics in the fields of organization development and action research.

'The suggested frameworks for thinking about how cycles of action research might fit within ongoing professional commitments and practice are properly general and thought provoking..The final chapters considering the impact of being an action researcher and discussing the management of organisational politics are extremely interesting' - Learning and Teaching Update [This new edition] provides a valuable foundation for new researchers in the field' - International Journal of Action Research 'The third edition offers both perceptive advice and support for those considering undertaking action research in their own organization.' Mark N. K Saunders Action Learning: Research and Practice
