The aim of this essay is to share significances, excitements, and difficulties of industry-academia collaborations and action researches along with experiences of my prospective studies. I think that one of the unique significances of industry-academia collaborations and action researches is to achieve following three purposes at the same time: (1)to be appreciated by practitioners, (2)better educations, (3)to hand down reliable records. However, I should mention that they also bring costs and risks for researchers themselves. I hope the Japanese Association of Management Accounting to make systems that researchers do not have costs and risks as themselves and academic papers are accumulated and transmitted.
