Between disciplines and perspectives: ACT as a PERIpatetic researcher

Matjaz Vidmar

Chapter 6 in How to Engage Policy Makers with Your Research, 2022, pp 61-72 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter analyses the PERIpatetic Approach to close-quarters research studying innovation processes and systems, which is increasingly important for delivering bottom-up insight as well as contributing to innovation policy and operational plans. Based on my experience in researching high-tech sectors, especially the New Space Industry, the epistemological and practical considerations of a Perspectival, Embedded, Responsive and Introspective studies are outlined. Overall, this novel framework for a Participatory Ethnography for Researching Innovation allows for a coherent enquiry and a way to deliver impact through principles of ACT - Analyse, Challenge and Translate. Looking at each of these aspects in turn, researcher's epistemology, positioning, and layering/scaling of findings and tools is presented in the context of increasingly complex and saturated innovation research (and policy) subjects and fields.
