title = "How can we “Do” Lean{\textquoteright} Research Better? The Potential for Recognising the Missing Interpretive Approach",
abstract = "Based on lessons learnt from single case study, this research methodological practice paper proposes a research framework of directional steps for interpretive researchers conducting case study research within the field of Lean Management. These directional steps are important because while a large body of publications has accumulated on the topic of lean over the last 30 years, the philosophies and methodologies contained within have not been sufficiently challenged and are predominantly positivistic. Consequently, interpretive case research investigations are noticeably missing from the Lean literature and the discipline has been criticised for the lack of philosophical and theoretical progress. The framework presented provides legitimisation to Lean interpretive case researchers by standardising research practices and potentially enabling greater acceptance of this research approach within the Lean community.",
