Abstract
This article discusses a series of management research experiments in the banking sector carried out from the original perspective of the `actor-researcher', that is, by a management researcher who is also a practitioner. It describes some of the epistemological and methodological implications involved in positioning the `actor-researcher', permitting him or her, on the one hand, to play a directly useful role in an organization, and on the other, to generate new scientific knowledge.
Keywords
