Abstract: This paper is aimed at drawing the attention of Action-Researchers on the extreme variety in the methodologies which claim their kinship with this research approach stream. We can't but side with Olav Eikeland when he posits in his seminal book chapter in Reason and Bradbury Handbook on AR (2001) that "the really, but tacitly privileged method of mainstream methodology and thereby also of traditional social research, is arguably some kind of Action Research". We intend to focus on the specificities of the intervention-research approach to action research with a view to showing that this transformative step should be carried further to its logical climax which consists in reconciling the social and the economic objectives of the organizations. It implies one should go for an even more comprehensive approach which is referred to as "Qualimetrics Intervention-Research". This paper will consist in comparing this latest development in Action-Research with more traditional approaches through the analysis of a case study.
