ABSTRACT
Chapter 4 focuses on the benefits of cooperation within the framework of action research, as well as the risks that hinder research and the implementation of designed changes in organisations or society. It also identifies specific organisational conditions in both universities and cooperating organisations that enable the effective execution of joint projects based on the action research approach. All these issues are shown from the perspectives of those working in an organisation or representing a local community, researchers (including students) and thesis supervisors.
