Doing Process Research in Organizations: Noticing Differently

By: Line Revsbæk (CO-LEARN) and Barbara Simpsons – published on September 22, 2022

A process ontology demands reimagining and ongoing reinvention of how researchers inquire into and engage with the movements and moments of a morphing world. This in turn requires us to notice differently in our empirical engagements.
