Digital service innovation, engaged scholarship and knowledge transfer: what is to be done?
Professor Emeritus Bob Hinings, Alberta School of Business, University of Alberta
December 2019
As we are confronted more and more by digital innovation in services and the consequent likelihood of organisational transformation there is a need to reconsider how, as academics, we approach such changes. Engagement in scholarship with practitioners is a necessary condition of understanding and as a way of ensuring appropriate knowledge transfer from practitioner to scholar and scholar to practitioner.
Learning to become an Engaged Scholar
Professor Emeritus Andrew H Van de Ven, Carlson School, University of Minnesota
June 2018
This lecture provides a timely opportunity to reflect on and share Professor Emeritus Andrew H Van de Ven’s personal experiences of engaged scholarship. He will discuss the theory and methods for doing so in his book, Engaged Scholarship (Oxford University Press, 2007). The purpose of his talk is NOT to suggest how to become an engaged scholar; instead, it is to share some personal reflections (both good and bad) on his 45-year career of trying to become an engaged scholar.
