Abstract | Abstract
Interorganizational collaborative management research (ICMR) offers new insight into action research, reflexivity, and collaboration in research practice. The article develops the research area especially in terms of uniting managers from different organizations with researchers, and outlines how ICMR creates a psychologically safe learning and development space.
Our study introduces an interorganizational learning and development space, where managers from diverse organizations collaborate to develop their leadership capabilities and perform actions in heir own organizational systems, supported by a systematic research design collecting qualitative data. We provide a description of ICMR as a research approach, outline our methodology for ICMR and illustrate the outcomes of an ICMR project, discussing learning mechanisms, strengths, challenges, and opportunities for future development in the field.
