Abstract: The resolution of a concrete problem lies at the heart of action research approaches. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the practical difficulties implied by the adoption of a participative approach where the problem to be solved is constructed collaboratively with organizational members. An empirical action research that was aimed at elaborating a strategic project for a non-profit child welfare organization. reveals that participants hold different, dynamic, and sometimes ambivalent representations of the problem. The practical and theoretical contributions of this research may be consequently difficult to assess.
