Van de Ven and Johnson's "engaged scholarship": Nice try, but...

Article Abstract:

Van de Ven and Johnson have proposed a pluralistic collective of researchers and practitioners by using 'engaged scholarship' and intellectual arbitrage to create practitioner-meaningful research. It is found that engaged scholarship is a nice dream, but not a solution and neither discipline-centric nor practitioner-driven research offers a solution, whereas earthquake science is found to provide a better model for business school research.
