Chapter 11: Mixed methods practice in operational research: designs for wicke…
In operational research (OR), practitioners model and analyse real-world issues, and support organizational and policy decision-making.

Today, planning agencies rely on key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure outcomes. While ostensibly neutral and technical, these measurements in fact imply policy judgments and drive legal c…

It draws on some co-written anecdotes about the use of ‘watchful waiting’ by …
