How can Kevin contribute to both his company’s successful implementation of the acquisition and to understanding mergers and acquisitions?

Kevin found the discussion on insider action research in his part-time Masters research methods module very revealing and stimulating. He had been struggling with the task of finding a project as he found the notion of research as he understood it to be somewhat removed from his concerns as a manager. In this lecture he was exposed to an approach to research that was grounded in the notion of researching inaction and that he could engage in it as an insider member of his own organisation. He had some challenging issues ahead in his managerial role and the prospect of combining and tackling them with doing his Masters research project appeared to offer him an opportunity to engage his actual experience in his organisation and be of practical use both to himself in completing his Masters qualification and to his organisation.
