Abstract

This paper presents an action research project carried out in co-operation with two Danish transport companies. The project is part of a larger project ‘Future Transport Concepts’ which is running si- multaneously in four different transport companies with the purpose of initiating a concept driven pro- cess towards the development of future transport concepts.

The paper discusses how the concept of action research may be a desirable method for installing or- ganisational learning processes along the supply chains with the focal focus on the transport compa- nies and their networks. It discusses the results, the method and the researchers’ roles as active facili- tators in initiating learning processes. It is shown how the actors within the organisations formed are- nas for learning across old boundaries, space and time in order to develop processes of supply chain learning.
