This book makes the case for transdisciplinary research as a response to societal, operational and environmental challenges. Exploring new research designs, methods of knowledge production, learning mechanisms and evaluation criteria, leading researchers provide evidence-based guidelines for organising transdisciplinary research. Examining transdisciplinary research historically, philosophically and contextually, the book evaluates its evolving methodology and quality criteria. Authors demonstrate its practical application in various case studies, such as developing nature-based solutions in education, sustainable farming practices and developmental initiatives in subsistence marketplaces. The synthesis of the case experiences enables researchers to link their concepts, relationships and modes of knowledge production to transformative action, aiding efforts to address complex challenges arising from climate change, biodiversity crises and inclusive growth. How to Organise Transdisciplinary Research for Transformative Action and Knowledge Co-Production is a key resource for scholars and students of business and management, education, research methods and sociology. It is also prime reading for educators, research funding agencies and management practitioners seeking actionable recommendations on how to implement transdisciplinary research.
