Abstract: The literature on the role of the social scientist is prolific. Nevertheless, few research specifically addresses the case of the practitioner becoming a researcher, despite the development of management research training courses for practitioners, such as the DBA. This article aims to define this reality of the practitioner becoming a researcher, in its tensions, strengths and weaknesses. On the basis of a comparative analysis of four case studies, we distinguish the practitioner who becomes a researcher from the insider, the native researcher and the outsider. At is characterized by an experiential process that begins with a managerial question from their own experience. The practitioner who becomes a researcher must then engage in a process of theorizing, which acts as a safeguard against the missionary missionary nature of solving this managerial question. We conclude by encouraging practitioners practitioners who become researchers to take on this experiential process of tension and questioning as an integral part of their research process and method.
