Abstract

Action research (AR) is focused on action with collaboration between researchers
and practitioners. However, AR has to be operated based on theories and theoretical
framework. AR has been critiqued which lack of rigor in research methodology. For
information system research with AR has been difficult to identify whether AR or
consulting work. As a result, AR researchers should pay much attention on AR type and
framework selection. This article will introduce AR types, such as action Science (AS) for
information system research in order to increase the rigor of action research and clarify as
the research instead of consulting work.
