oriented research approach documented in Collaborative Practice
Studies in Information, Technology & People (2002). The research has
been based on close partnerships with companies within a variety of
industries including banking, insurance, hospitals, shipyards, car
manufacturers, information technology, electronic equipment, pharmaceuticals, and software.
