Zusammenfassung
Research results in business administration usually cannot be practically implemented directly. Also practical problems don’t directly find their way into management research. This is due to the different logics that are followed by communication in sciences on the one hand and communication in practice on the other hand. The resulting problem is called rigor-relevance gap. Several authors are convinced that collaborative project research of business practioners and management scientists is a highly promising way to overcome this rigor-relevance gap. In this article we take a closer look at the question if this is really the case.
