Full Description

This book explores how diverse methodologies are, and can be, applied to tackle grand challenges. Contributing authors promote both inward and outward introspection of existing assumptions, values and systems, emphasising the importance of complexifying, bridging theory and practice, engaging with the future and embracing alternative ways of knowing.

Chapters argue that grand challenges can only be solved through methodological pluralism. Presenting diverse insights into the impacts of grand challenges in European, South American, South and East Asian contexts, contributors advocate for research that considers complex practical realities and worldviews. The book embraces the implementation of new strategies over established ones, providing successful real-world examples such as combining machine learning with system dynamics modeling and using information from stakeholders over existing psychometric scales. This book empowers researchers to adopt a more idealistic approach and embrace methodological variety, with a view to solve the most pressing issues of our time.

Methodology to Address Grand Challenges is highly relevant to researchers, scholars, and students of business, management, heath, transport and sustainability. With its practical reflections on how to confront grand challenges, it is also an essential read for practitioners and policymakers.
