Engaged Scholarship and the Creation of Useful Organizational Knowledge
Barge, J. Kevin; Shockley-Zalabak, Pamela
Journal of Applied Communication Research, v36 n3 p251-265 Aug 2008
Engaged scholarship represents one way for making our research relevant to organizational practitioners by bridging the gap between theory and practice. Engaged scholarship is viewed as a form of collaborative inquiry between academics and practitioners that leverages their different perspectives to generate useful organizational knowledge. We explore the possibilities associated with engaged scholarship in three specific contexts: (1) theory-building and research, (2) pedagogy, teaching, and education, and (3) institutional opportunities and constraints as they relate to issues of tenure and promotion and creation of the engaged campus.
