Case Study - 21 to 24 (Question Id - 9)

Too many people are promoting interdisciplinary research without addressing even the most basic difficulties and conundrums involved in the attempt to do it. These people seem to assume that all that is necessary for interdisciplinary research to succeed is a combination of scholars from different disciplines and a consensus about the importance of their joint efforts. We feel that such interdisciplinary efforts will inevitable fail.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

In interdisciplinary work, failure can take many forms. For example, the so-called interdisciplinary teams might disaggregate over time. Each researcher might make his or her own contribution, only to have the final product reflect a grouping of different studies with very little in common.

The research itself may be carelessly done, and the concepts ill-defined. Pre-occupation with the problems of interdisciplinarity might overwhelm the research questions and as a result, generalizations about interdisciplinarity might be substituted for the substantive contribution of the research effort. Or well-conceived and carefully executed research might nonetheless fail to find an audience because of its interdisciplinary nature.
