Action Science Network
The Action Science Network aims to accurately describe and efficiently demonstrate the theory and practice of action science and, secondarily, to connect individuals and groups interested in working with action science.
The "action science" strategy of organizational development was defined and vigorously advanced primarily by Dr. Chris Argyris (with important help from Donald Schon and others) over a period of more than 50 years.
In the field of Organizational Development, action science is also known as action inquiry, action research, or organizational learning.
Argyris' action science has roots in works by world thinkers such as John Dewey (1859-1952) and Kurt Lewin (1890-1947).
The Description is a layman's attempt to concisely outline Argyris' model of organizational development & action science. Also see the Extensive Bibliography of books and articles by Chris Argyris and his collaborators.
