Abstract

In this paper, we build on the longstanding issue of whether and to what extent scholarly research affects stakeholders outside academia and focus on the management and IS fields. We take a practice-based view and build theoretically on the concepts of sites of knowing and knowing in practice. We interviewed experienced practice scholars and reviewed key practice theorizing concepts to demonstrate that: 1) impact outside academia does happens but in ways that are not evident from published academic papers; and, 2) the practice-based view allows us to understand how impact occurs and offers effective strategies to enhance it. Yet, practice scholars' impact outside academia still holds substantial areas of improvement, which we identify theoretically and showcase with concrete examples leading to recommendations. The insights we propose are not directed only to practice scholars, though. They can assist scholars of all epistemological, methodological, and theoretical perspectives to enhance research impact and engage meaningfully with multiple stakeholders beyond academic boundaries.

揭示学术研究的相关性:基于实践的观点
在本文中,我们以学术研究是否以及在多大程度上影响学术界以外的利益相关者这一长期存在的问题为基础,重点关注管理和信息系统领域。我们采取实践为基础的观点,从理论上构建认识场所和认识实践的概念。我们采访了经验丰富的实践学者,并回顾了关键的实践理论概念,以证明:1)学术界以外的影响确实发生了,但其方式在已发表的学术论文中并不明显;2)基于实践的观点使我们能够理解影响是如何发生的,并提供有效的策略来增强它。然而,实践学者在学术界之外的影响仍然存在实质性的改进领域,我们从理论上确定了这些领域,并通过具体的例子给出了建议。然而,我们提出的见解并不仅仅针对实践学者。他们可以帮助所有认识论、方法论和理论观点的学者提高研究影响,并与学术界限之外的多个利益相关者进行有意义的接触。

期刊介绍: Advances in information and communication technologies are associated with a wide and increasing range of social consequences, which are experienced by individuals, work groups, organizations, interorganizational networks, and societies at large. Information technologies are implicated in all industries and in public as well as private enterprises. Understanding the relationships between information technologies and social organization is an increasingly important and urgent social and scholarly concern in many disciplinary fields.Information and Organization seeks to publish original scholarly articles on the relationships between information technologies and social organization. It seeks a scholarly understanding that is based on empirical research and relevant theory.
