Reflexive evaluation of an academic-industry research collaboration: Can mode 2 management research be achieved?
Journal of Management Studies, 2009Co-Authors: Nathalie Mitev, Will VentersAbstract:We present a reflexive Retrospective Account of a UK government research council funded project deploying knowledge management software to support environmental sustainability in the construction industry. This project was set up in a form typical of a Mode 2 research programme involving several academic institutions and industrial partners, and aspiring to fulfil the Mode 2 criteria seen as transdisciplinarity and business relevance. The multidisciplinary nature is analysed through Retrospectively reflecting upon the research process and activities we carried out, and is found to be problematic. No real consensus was reached between the partners on the ‘context of application’. Difficulties between industry and academia, within industry and within academia led to diverging agendas and different alignments for participants. The context of application does not (pre-)exist independently of institutional influences, and in itself cannot drive transdisciplinarity since it is subject to competing claims and negotiations. There were unresolved tensions in terms of private vs. public construction companies and their expectations of ICT-based knowledge management, and in terms of the sustainable construction agenda. This post hoc reflexive Account, enables us to critique our own roles in having developed a managerial technology for technically sophisticated and powerful private industrial actors to the detriment of public sector construction partners, having bypassed sustainability issues, and not reached transdisciplinarity. We argue that this is due to institutional pressures and instrumentalization from academia, industry and government and a restricted notion of business relevance. There exists a politically motivated tendency to oppose Mode 1 academic research to practitioner-oriented Mode 2 approaches to management research. We argue that valuing the links between co-existing Mode 1 and 2 research activities would support a more genuine and fuller exploration of the context of application.

cost effectiveness of alternative investment strategies for the power sector in india a Retrospective Account of the period 1997 2002
Utilities Policy, 2006Co-Authors: Joel RuetAbstract:This paper focuses on the profitability of investments in the power sector in India seen from a micro-economic viewpoint followed by macro-extrapolation. We will compare the profitability of various investment strategies that serve as an alternative to the simple expansion of the generating capacity. In a system where maintenance has long been neglected, these measures also turn out to be cheaper than capacity addition and should be given preference in a period of scarcity of funds. Improvement in the use of plants and reduction of technical and non-technical losses are profitable, but these measures are not implemented enough under the present public system in India. We will then briefly link up these findings with some of our earlier works to show that these inefficiencies arise because State Electricity Boards have long relied on technical and administrative procedures that were designed during a period of expansion and not on efficiently decentralised and information-based management as should be the case in the present mature phase.
