The core question underlying Integral Research and Innovation is: 'How can social research be turned into social or indeed "integral" innovation?' Complementing their acclaimed Transformation Management, this second book in the Transformation and Innovation Series explains how the knowledge creation that underpins transformative processes occurs. The authors show how research has to be transformative, rather than just informative if it is to contribute usefully to building integrated and sustainable enterprises. At a time when business practitioners and others responsible for organizational development are desperate for usable knowledge the authors contend that social science research is failing to support business and management generally. Instead, academic researchers engage in esoteric arguments about research methodology which do not contribute usefully to the resolution of real world problems. Drawing on their experience of environments where researchers and practitioners do engage constructively, resulting in research that is active, participative, and genuinely innovative, Professor Lessem and Dr Schieffer are in territory that is far beyond that covered by standard works on research methodology. This is a book not just for academics and researchers wanting to make a meaningful contribution, but also for reflective practitioners from the corporate organizational, and consultancy based worlds who operate in the area of interface between business and management, education, learning, and society, and who need to know how research can be used to make a real difference.

Innovation Driven Institutional Research available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This is the third volume in the CARE-ing for Integral Development series. It continues to build on the previous two works, Community Activation and Awakening Integral Consciousness, as well as preceding the fourth and final book, Embodying Integral Development. This book serves as a follow-up to the author's approach to integral research and development, economics and enterprise, contained within the Innovation and Transformation series, and as a focus for how put all of this "CARE-fully" to work. This third volume, in the CARE quartet is perhaps the most crucial one, building on the organizational systems (see Awakening Integral Consciousness) that came before and turning from trans-cultural and transformational to trans-disciplinary, from integral reality and integral rhythm to integral realms, with a view ultimately to transpersonal, integral rounds. The author turns his attention to research and innovation, and then focuses in on enterprise and economics, management and leadership. As such, he introduces his Inter-Institutional Genealogy in place of an "integral", yet still inhibiting, university. In the process this book paves the way for a new kind of institutionalized, innovation driven social research, which, while rooted in a particular place, speaks to the world as a whole. Moreover, such a research-and-innovation institution has a fundamental role to play in the evolution of a specific community, building on what has come CARE-wise before.

Integral Research is a unique framework and process for research in the social sciences. It is written for practitioners and students, wishing to undertake research, which has an innovative impact on their organisations, communities and societies. It is aiming to develop true Social Innovators. Doing so, it is set to overcome the core dilemma that social science research is not contributing significantly to the burning (social) issues of our time. Integral Research is "integral" in two ways. First, it covers approaches to research methodology, in theory and practice, from all over the world, including not only Europe and America, but also Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and Latin America. Second, it links method and methodology, critique and innovatory action-oriented research in a way, that social research is transformed into social innovation. "The authors Lessem and Schieffer have written this remarkable book on "Research Methodology" which is responsive to all relevant stakeholders. Researchers from the North, the South, the East and the West are now able to draw on their own roots to turn social research into social innovation. A major achievement!" Prof. Dr. Martin Hilb Managing Director, Institute for Leadership and HRM, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland This is a unique book since it blends social transformation with business and culture. In an era of global challenges from poverty to climate change, this book offers new notions for enabling and harnessing research to transform organizations and societies." Prof. Odeh Al Jayyousi Regional Director Middle East, IUCN The World Conservation Union, Geneva, Switzerland "Ronnie Lessem and Alexander Schieffer have developed a bold new way of framing transformation processes that crosses the boundaries of several disciplines." Prof. Dr. Raoul C. D. Nacamulli Universit di Milano-Bicocca, Italy "It is a timely and pioneering book which successfully demonstrates the intellectual and the practical grounds of 'scial innovation'." Prof. Adel Rasheed Professor of Management, Yarmouk University, Irbid, Jordan "I am convinced that this book, and the integral approach to research it advocates, has the potential to advance much needed social innovation in response to the many perplexing problems facing humanity in the 21st Century and beyond." Dr. Samuel D. Rima Director, Doctor of Ministry Program, Bethel University, St. Paul, USA

In 2010 Ronnie Lessem and Alexander Schieffer published their seminal work on Integral Research and Innovation, whereby they identified the four R’s; relational and renewal, reason and realization based research paths that altogether encompass the major qualitative research methods and methodologies. Within each path they identified a trajectory from origination to transformation via foundation and emancipation. However these paths, underlying the research process, conventionally termed 'method', were disconnected from the integral economic and enterprise content, conventionally termed 'literature', with which they were concerned. In this book, Integral Renewal they seek to remedy such, in two major respects. As transformative masters and PhD programs are focused on the 'Global South', where the vast majority of the world’s population is based, as well as those developmental agencies focused on such, the great majority of the people with whom the authors deal select the relational research path, and the path of renewal, over and above the paths of reason and realization. The focus of this book will be on these two paths of integral research, now interconnected with integral enterprise and economics. Uniquely, the authors pursue research and innovation in a systematic way. In that respect, while their prior Integral Research book still provides the research foundation for the four southern and eastern, northern and western paths, this book will focus on the former two relational (southern) and renewal (eastern) from the combined perspectives of research process and economic and enterprise content.
