Abstract
The intention of this paper is to clarify if and how an Experience
Exchange Group(EEG) can be involved in a research process in the
area of industrial management. For exemplification of the topic an
ongoing research in global manufacturing is referred to. In this
research it was after a series of preliminary studies found
interesting to set up an EEG composed of representatives from
industry and a researcher. In the paper some general research
methods pertinent to the area industrial management are discussed.
The EEG concept is introduced and characterised in comparison with
the other methods. EEG activities are described and a tentative
coupling to the phases in a research process is proposed.
Following this is a discussion of methodological and quality
requirements. It is considered how EEG activities could possibly
contribute to an industrial rooted research. The paper ends up
looking at future research areas and research methods, including
application of the EEG approach.
