The contribution of action research to actionable knowledge in the field of management

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract A key strength of action research is producing actionable knowledge that is relevant for addressing complex issues, including the grand challenges of our time, but this production is hindered by the underdevelopment of specific quality criteria for assessing such knowledge.

Evaluating Suitability for Surface Managed Aquifer Recharge to Enhance Dry‐Season Stream Flows

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Identifying suitable sites for surface MAR projects to enhance dry‐season stream flow requires evaluating the geology of the aquifer, depth to groundwater, soil permeability, topographic slope, the distance between the infiltration basin and receiving surface water, and other factors.

Comparison of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Methods Under Comprehensive Sensitivity Analysis

IEEE Access
In many contemporary decision-making environments, practitioners must navigate complex problems characterized by multiple, conflicting criteria. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods have become essential tools for structuring such evaluations,

On the Diverse Uses of Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding Tools in Complex Decision Problems

Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Volume 33, Issue 3, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Several multicriteria methods have been created for use in problem situations that are considered complex because multiple actors and/or organisations are involved. Such methods are easily combined with problem shaping and structuring methods to reduce complexity when a situation is new, ill‐ or not well‐structured.

The Process Is Not the Point: Moral Uncertainty and Substantive Justice in Health Care Priority Setting

Bioethics, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 1050-1064, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Health actors must ration care due to resource constraints. But even when decision makers know the relevant empirical facts about an allocation decision—including how many patients will benefit from a service, which patients will benefit, how much each patient will benefit, and so on—these facts may not provide a clear answer about how to make
