Knowledge co-creation and sharing

While attempting to investigate modes of musical transmission among the Yol ŋ u People in Northeast Arnhem Land Australia, questions regarding the meaning of the word “research” led to the decisive abandonment of data collection. Specifically, the processes of observation, recording, and other typical Western means of genera ting data seemed to be in direct opposition to the way knowledge was traditionally shared. The author critically examines her multiple attempts at conducting this research, and discusses why eventually giving up on the research led to a more profound understanding.

The global demand for STEM professionals continues to grow, yet challenges remain in preparing a diverse, confident, and pedagogically skilled teaching workforce. As scientific progress accelerates, so does the need for inclusive and cognitively rich approaches in STEM teacher education. This proposal presents the LGDM-CASE Lesson Plan Templates-an innovative framework that combines Learner-Generated Digital Media (LGDM) with Cognitive Acceleration through Science Education (CASE). Grounded in social constructivist and self-efficacy theories and shaped by a students-as-partners approach, the model supports digital pedagogy, inclusion, and conceptual depth in STEM learning. Aligned with priorities from the European Research Area (ERA) and UNESCO, it targets underrepresented groups including Indigenous, neurodiverse, disabled, LGBTQIA+, and low-SES learners. Using a two-year mixed-methods design, the study will evaluate LGDM-CASE's impact on teacher confidence, lesson quality, and student engagement-contributing to curriculum reform, professional development, and inclusive STEM education policy in Europe and beyond.

Learning cybersecurity awareness builds on basic information technology concepts and digital literacy skills. In an effort to raise cybersecurity awareness among information technology students, this paper describes a series of three different interactive sessions offered to students of all levels at a business university. The sessions introduced cybersecurity awareness through identifying actual breaches and incidents, using open source intelligence tools, and participating in a capture the flag style competition. Student comments in blog posts and interviews after these sessions show the relevance of cybersecurity awareness in their daily lives and a general sense of surprise, amazement and concern at how much personal information is readily available online.

The study seeks to investigate the impact of pandemic on teaching and learning processes involved in Higher Education (HE) by analysing the way in which knowledge exchange and value co-creation are reframed through ICTs and technology. The adoption of the interpretative lens of Service Science permits to reread HE as a smart service system. The empirical research, based on content analysis as an inquiry, analyses: 1) the transformations introduced in technology adoption, information sharing, knowledge and value co-creation to comply with the disruption "imposed" by ì the sanitary emergency; 2) the way in which this transformation can introduce novelties in Higher education system. The results identify the different drivers for value and knowledge co-creation that can be implemented in technology-enhanced teaching and learning and the different novelties that can be generated from the emergence of innovation.

Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) Nexus projects intend to engage stakeholders from a broad base. European Union funded projects must adhere to General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) that govern the way in which personal data of stakeholders is gathered, stored, and used. In the H2020 project NEXOGENESIS, WEFE nexus interlinkages are assessed in five river basins, four in Europe and one in Southern Africa. This work is carried out in a participatory manner and stakeholder engagement plays a central role. Stakeholders were asked to actively consent to the collection, storage, and use of their information through a privacy policy consent form. Active engagement with stakeholders occurred in the first half of the project (2021-2023) through stakeholder workshops via different modalities in each of the five case studies, and targeted stakeholder interviews and focus group discussions. We show that the stakeholders that actively consent to the use of their information are not evenly distributed across all sectors but are generally from the water sector and have high interest and rather low power. Our study provides evidence that the need to sign a consent form reveals biases in the stakeholder landscape. Results also show that consent rates increased with active engagement situations and were relatively high through face-to-face interactions but were the highest in absolute terms through hybrid events. Using consent forms not only helps increase the transparency of how personal data of stakeholders is used, but also helps show the biases that are present in the active stakeholder base.

Studies on a relationship between absorptive capacity and organisational performance has not been fully exhausted, as organisations operate in an environment marked by high changes and complexities. Absorptive capacity enables organisations to integrate, transform, and use external knowledge with the goal of improving the way they perform in dynamic and complex environments. Furthermore, the concept of organisational performance is multifaceted, and the managerial focus on each element may account for variations in performance across different organisations. Building on these arguments, the study aimed to examine the absorptive capacity's direct and indirect relationship with organisational performance, specifically employee adaptive performance and innovation performance. The study also put into perspective the mediating role of strategic flexibility, a construct that defines how well organisations align external knowledge with internal resources and capabilities to achieve desired outcomes. The study adopted the crosssectional survey of 123 mid-level employees randomly selected from the Delta State Ministry of Health using a well-structured questionnaire. This ministry operates in highly dynamic and volatile environments where adaptation is necessary to respond to the numerous health challenges and threats affecting the overall wellbeing of society. The study analysed the data collected from February to March 2024 with the partial least squares method. It found that absorptive capacity has a significant and positive direct and indirect relationship with organisational performance, which includes employee performance and innovation performance. Strategic flexibility facilitated this indirect relationship, exerting a greater influence on the organisational performance proxies. The study concluded that strategic flexibility can partially explain the relationship between absorptive capacity and organisational performance.

During the 1990s Morocco implemented a series of major institutional and economic reforms that made the country politically stable and helped it to withstand the destabilizing effects of the Arab Spring. Political reforms resulted in the adoption of a new constitution in 2011, was followed by initiatives to improve justice, public administration, the fight against corruption, and to strengthen governance, transparency, and ethics in public life. The country also embarked on a regionalization of public policies and decentralization of administration to ensure an integrated and durable regional development. This reform momentum was further emphasized by the King of Morocco when in his 2019 throne speech he stressed that “… the stake is thus to rebuild a strong and competitive economy, by encouraging the private initiative, while launching new productive investment plans and by creating new job opportunities…” During two last decades Morocco recorded relatively solid economic and socia...

Computer software applications are typically designed for a broad range of users and tasks. Flexibility through adaptation has become more popular in the design of user interfaces in order to accommodate specific users and their mental models. It is proposed that a flexible system decreases cognitive workload, enhances productivity, and improves task efficiency. The potential drawbacks of adaptation include reduced learning time and lack of learning transfer to new applications, if the system is constantly changing. Users also may not be able to develop a coherent model of the system if the system changes and may experience a loss of control when using a changing system. In addition, adaptation may require more development time than static systems. The costs and benefits must be carefully considered when deciding whether or not to incorporate adaptation in a user interface. Two main areas in which adaptation can be applied to the user interface are functionality and the design of the interface. With regard to functionality, the behavior of specific features of the system can be modified. The system could adapt the functionality in the user interface available to each user. Accessibility to functionality, such as menus, can be restructured based on specified criteria for adaptation. When considering the interface design adaptations, the use of screen layout could be modified. Screen layout in the user interface could be changed to suit aesthetic and design preferences, such as the use of color, frames, or forms in an application.

This article interrogates the politics of belonging in scholar–practitioner collaborations by analysing and reflecting upon a group project that advocated for a more equitable approach to newcomer belonging and integration in an urban setting in the United States. The structure of our collaboration revealed unaddressed and unspoken dynamics that collectively reinforced boundaries and hierarchies in our group, despite a level of intentionality around democratic praxis among the community-engaged scholars who initially brought participants together. The article asks: How can we work towards a notion of belonging if we haven’t worked out an equitable approach within our own group where everyone, including newcomers, feels like they belong? The article relies on a methodology of critical reflexive dialogue between the four co-authors – two scholars and two practitioners – to analyse and reflect on the ways that power imbalances are bound up in questions of belonging and representation.

Today's consumers have a postmodern perception and demonstrate a profile that is freer than their predecessors, more densely living their individuality, and trying more to put their own presence on the streets and in consumptionof products and services such as tourism. It has been ascertained that there is a lack of studies to determine post-modern tourist typologies in especially Turkish tourism literature. Based on this testimony, this study used a Five Factor Personality Features Scale to determine the personality traits of tourists and the Vals scale for values determination. In addition, it also sought to unpack the lifestyles of the respondents in the questionnaire as potential tourists in Balıkesir province, Turkey. Ten different scenarios were created by analyzing the related literature in order to measure which of the responder's post-modern and modern tourism concepts have been adopted. Five of these scenarios were designed to measure post-modern tourism conception...

The paper presents in an essayistic form three Amsterdam’s museums: Rijksuseum, Tropenmuseum and Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder not in terms of a presentation of their history and collections, but in terms of the idea of heritage commodification and planning, which is embodied in museum shops combined with cafés and restaurants. Amsterdam’s museums are overshadowed by high-profile stereotypes about the city. They are not among the world’s most popular museums as the Netherlands itself is not a top tourist destination. Therefore, the relaxed atmosphere of Amsterdam’s museums – distinguished by its own style
between heritage conservation, pragmatism, Protestant ethics, and the existential concept of gezelligheid – needs to be operationalised as an implementation model in other museums around the world. Furthermore, the very subject of museum shops – in terms of their role in heritage commodification and planning – has not been a crucial subject of reflection in the humanities or social sciences. This essay contributes to the study of museum shops as places where the exhibits “exit” the museum room, while the museum “enters” the market. The author points out that the concept of “museum shop” in the context of Amsterdam has
a double meaning, emphasising that in this city the division between the sacred museum and the profane street is fluid.

Today's organizations are operating in a volatile, uncertain and complex digital environment. The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this situation. There is an urgent need for organizations to acquire a new generation of business and technology professionals that not only possess in-depth and current disciplinary specialization knowledge, but also are able to communicate and collaborate using skills across the organization in fields including business, innovation, leadership, and technology (BILT). It is recognized that the traditional pathway of getting a "full-fledged" master's degree within 18-24 months may not address the challenge in a timely manner. As educators working in the technology and business sectors of higher education, we aim to explore an alternative strategy to prepare the BILT workforce ready for the "new" economy. This article reviews several alternative education models that have been taken by different stakeholders to prepare the workforce to meet employers' quickly changing expectations. An "H-shaped" BILT model is illustrated as a modular curriculum structure to enhance and complement disciplinary specializations with a focus on combined skills across multiple domains. We present a case study with details on developing and implementing the BILT model at our school as an alternative pathway with greater degrees of flexibility and agility. Finally, we discuss the potential of generalizing this alternative education model in other settings and delineate several future research directions.

As an individual, subjective phenomenon, fruition occurs in the pedagogical space, where other forms of fruition interrelated to more purely aesthetic fruition fortunately occur—the passion of ideas given substance by present artistic form, without which they do not exist. There is no doubt about one thing, however. It is difficult to get a large group of students to enjoy the same work of art simultaneously, as some of them are at different way points along the path, different times and spaces of fruition. That which moves some will leave others cold, because all fruition is an act of knowledge. Firstly knowledge of oneself, and then of the other, the creator, who by virtue of creating allows us to ascend to a more wholesome and fruitful knowledge of ourselves. That maybe why this space where we are attuned, and sharing does not admit of third parties. Widespread, simultaneous sharing is not possible. At a second stage, we can reflect in conjunction with others, to analyse and confront what has been a unique, private space of fruition but, at the moment of fruition, our primary bent is towards silence, because the space of fruition is a space of secret and passion. As Derrida said, there is no passion without secrets, no secrets without passion.

The inherent complexity of planning at sea, called maritime spatial planning (MSP), requires a planning approach where science (data and evidence) and stakeholders (their engagement and involvement) are integrated throughout the planning process. An increasing number of innovative planning support systems (PSS) in terrestrial planning incorporate scientific models and data into multi-player digital game platforms with an element of role-play. However, maritime PSS are still early in their innovation curve, and the use and usefulness of existing tools still needs to be demonstrated. Therefore, the authors investigate the serious game, MSP Challenge 2050, for its potential use as an innovative maritime PSS and present the results of three case studies on participant learning in sessions of game events held in Newfoundland, Venice, and Copenhagen. This paper focusses on the added values of MSP Challenge 2050, specifically at the individual, group, and outcome levels, through the promot...

The present investigation was conducted to elucidate the obstacles and enablers of disseminating organizational knowledge. It aims to sustain a competitive edge amid organizations' prevalent uncertainties while safeguarding organizational memory and intellectual capital. Methodology: In the current investigation, we employed the Meta-synthesis methodology delineated by Sandelowski and Barroso to elucidate the underlying patterns of factors that inhibit and facilitate knowledge-sharing outcomes. Findings: The findings derived from the analysis unequivocally suggested that the various obstacles and facilitators influencing the process of knowledge dissemination are multifaceted, encompassing a wide array of determinants that can be categorized into several domains, including individual factors, which accounted for a total of 54 distinct codes; technical aspects, which were represented by 12 separate codes; organizational influences, which comprised a substantial 87 codes; cultural considerations, which included ten specific codes; and finally, geographical factors, which were denoted by seven unique codes, thus illustrating the complexity and diversity of influences that shape knowledge transfer within various contexts.

Communities of virtual co‐creation are emerging as a new form of consumer engagement, where through a collaborative and interactive process, ideas and knowledge from consumer are applied differently to create new value for the consumers themselves, the company and all stakeholders. The aim of this paper is to explore the drivers, namely motivation, opportunity and ability, of consumer willingness to participate in communities of virtual co‐creation. The role of social motivations, that is, altruism and social reputation, particularly relevant inside online communities, is investigated. Data were collected through an online survey on 180 consumers from diverse nationalities. The unit of analysis was a virtual co‐creation activity for food products. Findings show that consumer motivation and ability have a relevant influence on willingness to participate in co‐creation projects, while opportunity has not. In particular, ability showed to be the most relevant factor, suggesting that vi...

Introduction
Today, the insurance industry plays a significant role in the prosperity of the economy, so paying attention to the creation of knowledge can play a significant role in increasing the penetration rate of insurance. Therefore, the main question of the current research is how to design and explain the model of the elements of customer knowledge co-creation in the insurance industry? In order to answer this question, the present research aims to identify the elements of the customer knowledge co-creation model in the insurance industry in the first stage, and in the next stage to test the relationship model of the elements of customer knowledge co-creation in the insurance industry, and based on the results of Data analysis will provide solutions to the managers of this industry in order to make decisions and policies related to knowledge creation and as a result promote and improve insurance products and services and increase the penetration rate of insurance in the society.

Literature Review
Knowledge Co-Creation
Knowledge Co-Creation has been described as an act of collective creativity, with applications ranging from product and service design to more abstract spheres of value creation taking place between two or more individuals who may or may not belong to the same actor group (Amann & Rubinelli, 2017). “Customer knowledge Co-creation is defined as the collective ability of group members to analyze, interpret, reconfigure customer-related knowledge, and it means that knowledge is co-created by group members” (Menguc et al., 2013). In the following, we discuss some of the researches conducted in the field of customer knowledge co-creation.
Itani et al. (2022) conducted a study with the aim of investigating the effects of using social media and customer relationship management technology on the customer knowledge co-creation and sales performance in B2B companies. Based on the theories of task-technology fit and self-determination, the findings show that social media, customer relationship management technology, and their interaction, support salespeople in joint value-creation efforts through the mediating role of knowledge enriched by these tools. The results indicated a significant moderating effect of the salesperson's job independence and the ease of the sales quota in increasing the relationship between knowledge and value co-creation.
Xie et al. (2020), in a study titled "Using Customer Knowledge for Service Innovation in Travel Agency Industry", investigated the influencing factors and the effects of service team access and the combination of customer knowledge on tourist service companies. The results showed that both factors of customer orientation and intensity of interaction are effective on customer knowledge co-creation teams, which can promote service innovation. Also, the results indicated that customer knowledge co-creation moderates the relationship between interaction intensity and service innovation.

Methodology
The current research was done in two stages using a mixed method. In this research, in order to identify the components of the customer knowledge co-creation model, first the qualitative approach of grounded theory was used. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a selection of insurance industry experts, including a number of university professors and insurance company managers, as a result of which the components of the research and their dimensions were identified. Then, in order to present the relationship model of the main components of the research, the opinions of experts were evaluated through the matrix of pairwise comparisons, and based on this, the conceptual model of the research was explained. Then, in order to test the research model and hypotheses, the partial least squares quantitative method was used. The statistical population in the quantitative stage consists of managers and experts of three active insurance companies in Iran, including Alborz, Iran, and Asia. The statistical sample was obtained from the random cluster sampling method, based on which 310 people were selected as a statistical sample. The data collection tool in the quantitative stage is a researcher-made questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha method was used to check the reliability of the measurement tool, and its value was greater than 0.7 for all variables. Therefore, all variables were confirmed in terms of reliability.

Results
In the first stage of the current research, the qualitative method of grounded theory was used to identify the components and dimensions of customer knowledge co-creation. As a result of this stage, 7 main aspects were identified for customer knowledge co-creation. After identifying the research components and developing the model, 9 hypotheses were formulated in the quantitative stage. Based on the findings of data analysis using the partial least squares method, all 9 research hypotheses were confirmed. The results showed that the infrastructure of information and communication technology has an effect on being knowledge-oriented. Also, being knowledge-oriented has an impact on internal marketing and customer relationship management. In addition, the effect of internal marketing and customer relationship management on customer orientation was confirmed. Also, the effect of customer orientation on creating motivation and trust building was confirmed, and finally, the effect of creating motivation and trust building on customer knowledge co-creation was confirmed.

Discussion
Customer knowledge co-creation is a process by which organizations acquire competencies and knowledge of customers, so that they can use this information to create an experience for customers and reach new markets for themselves.

Conclusion
According to the confirmation of all 9 research hypotheses and with emphasis on the structures (sub-indices) that have the highest factor load obtained from the partial least squares method, the following practical suggestions are presented:
In order to develop the component of “information and communication technology infrastructures” in insurance companies, considering the importance of "the company's presence in social media and producing up-to-date content", it is suggested that managers of insurance companies use experts who have enough expertise in the field of content production to manage social media pages. Also, through social pages, they can establish a two-way relationship with customers, especially special customers, and encourage them to share their insurance knowledge and experiences.
In line with the development of “internal marketing”, the managers of insurance companies should continuously strive to hold brainstorming sessions with the employees in order to update their knowledge and skills. In these meetings, in addition to presenting technical matters such as informing about possible changes in insurance policies, new insurance laws, etc., experts in fields such as marketing, psychology, and negotiation can also be invited so that the employees and the sales network, in addition to mastering the technical skills, also master the communication skills of the day.
In order to ensure customer satisfaction and as a result of complying with customer-oriented principles, insurance companies must first observe and understand the needs of their customers. For this purpose, they should listen to the expectations and criticisms of the customers, and by establishing a friendly relationship with them, in addition to getting to know the customers more and knowing their level of satisfaction, they should have a positive effect on their perception.
In order to increase the “trust of customers”, insurance companies should adopt strategies that lead to improving the mental image of customers towards the company's brand. Since the main mission of insurance companies is to issue perfect insurance policies as well as timely and adequate payment of damages, if this is done correctly, it can play an effective role in attracting customers’ trust.
Finally, in order to develop the customers' knowledge co-creation, insurance companies should use the experiences and knowledge gained from customers to produce and create new knowledge and improve and develop the organization's products and services.

In Africa there is a vast field of study which has never been systematically researched or analysed. In the past hundred years this field has become so pervasive as to now pass us by unnoticed. This is the field of the interaction between people and the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). Internal combustion engines are those in which motive power comes from the explosion of vapour – usually a petroleum distillatein a cylinder, and are to be found in virtually every generator, pump, motor-vehicle, and boat on Earth. Through four case studies, and informed by Actor Network Theory (ANT), the research project seeks to integrate ICE technology within a framework of analysis that explores the interrelationship between people and ICE technology over time in African societies.

This paper demonstrates how the evolutionary knowledge co-creation processes captured with the practice ecosystem framework in business and academia collaboration. Data are collected from 91 organizations in Finland during the period of 2007–2016. The scope of this research is limited to the educational field and to one Applied University of Sciences (UAS) master's degree programme in Finland. The implications are mainly empirical but they contribute also to the knowledge co-creation theory by demonstrating the value and usability of the theoretical framework. The novelty of the research paper lies in the application for the first time of this theoretical framework in an authentic ecosystem.

Purpose – Interand transdisciplinarity are key issues of sustainability. Co-creation approaches are required to integrate the knowledge produced inside and outside multiple disciplinary domains. This work aims to discuss the basis of a theoretical framework of reference for the practice of knowledge co-creation, in order to boost dialogue among and beyond the different disciplines that contribute to sustainability using the cosmetic industry as a real case example. Design/Methodology/Approach – Drawing on the main contributions of literature on interand transdisciplinarity issues in sustainability research, we integrated the outcomes of service and systems research about knowledge co-creation to advance the research on knowledge creation for sustainability. The problems of interand transdisciplinarity are considered as expressions of sustainability complexity; thus, possible reference models and approaches to knowledge co-creation are illustrated and supported by practical examples ...

Japan’s experience of development and modernization occupies a particular place in the study of development processes. Using the UK-based / Western Development Studies as a mirror, this study examines how research on Japan’s development experience connects to broader Development Studies with international implications, rather than being an isolated country-specific field of knowledge. This study focuses on JICA-supported works (research and lectures) on Japan’s development experience and modernization. JICA-supported works span diverse historical and thematic issues and prioritize the study of a long-term process of structural change and instrumental/specific knowledge, describing different policies. Emphasizing the role of the state and state-building, JICA-supported works focus rather on the long-term process of modernization and development of Japan after the Meiji Restoration, than on a short-term snapshot of policy changes. Resonating with the concepts of multiple modernities and reflexive modernization, JICA-supported works emphasize practitioner expertise, practice, and empirical knowledge, while seeking to avoid a supply-driven promotion of a single development model.

The academic literature in the field of Management is often criticized because of its little relevance to the professional community. The literature maintains that a considerable gap has been created between research and practice in this discipline, suggesting the need to develop more literature that can unite both communities. A sizeable body of literature has been developed with the objective of analysing and proposing different remedies and solutions to this important problem. In this work, we offer a vision of the current state of literature in this topic and the different currents that have focused on proposing solutions to this problem. Thus, we guide the readers towards understanding the existing gaps and how each approach aims to fill them by your study. Moreover, drawing on them, we propose the theoretical perspective of the Quintuple Helix as a relevant perspective to describe the relationships between professionals and academics, and how the disconnections between them ca...

In this essay we challenge standard approaches to the academic–practitioner gap that essentially pit sides against each other, treating them as dichotomous. Instead, we identify and suggest ways of working with such dichotomies to foster research and theory building. We delineate several tensions associated with the gap, including differing logics, time dimensions, communication styles, rigor and relevance, and interests and incentives, and show how such tensions are valuable themselves for research and theorizing. We show that the gap often reflects views of conflicting groups of academics, while practitioners’ voices are not always incorporated; thus we add a practitioner’s voice to the conversation. We describe the dialectical forces that foster the tensions associated with the gap, including initiatives of national governments, ranking systems, and special issues of journals. We then show how the tensions represent fundamental, unresolvable paradoxes that can be generative of ne...

Student participation in applied research as a form of experiential learning in community colleges is relatively new. Ontario Colleges today participate at different levels with different numbers of projects and faculty involved. A few colleges in Ontario are more established in doing applied research including having basic infrastructure for research and having defined in which disciplines they will conduct research. This study took place in a college with a more established applied research program with the study goal of hearing and listening from the students and their teacher/research leaders as to their perceived benefit from the research program. The findings showed that the students found the program very beneficial and that student learning in areas considered important for the workplace was occurring that would not have been possible in the regular classroom.

The Communications Culture and Information Technology program (CCIT) at the University of Toronto at Mississauga offers an internship course, where select fourth-year students earn academic credit in an experiential work placement during the thirteen-week academic term. The students complete a minimum of 100 unpaid work hours, attend class meetings, and complete four assignments. Students may elect to take either one or two sections of the internship course over two terms. One of the primary objectives of the internship program is for students to examine the translation of classroom-based theory to practical applications in the work world, while gaining hands-on industry experience. Students discuss these experiences in a written journal, an oral presentation, and a final research report during the first term of their internship placement. After reviewing the first two years of the CCIT internship program, I found that students taking a second half-credit course (CCT411) needed to explore the translation of theory to practice beyond the standard report completed in the first section. They needed a vehicle to articulate and test their knowledge that was more challenging than the traditional research paper. In response, I designed the Tutorial Development Project as an opportunity for students to create a multimodal text for teaching a skill or key concept related to practices learned through their internship experiences. The project challenges students to conceptualize core competencies they develop in CCIT, and design concrete applications based on their experiences in industry. I ask students to take ownership of their learning and, as Gelmon, Holland, Driscoll, Spring and Kerrigan (2006:23) suggest, recognize how they are "part of a learning community" both inside and outside the academy. The Tutorial Project requires students to design a tutorial comprised of PowerPoint slides or web screenshots, to be used as a professional development resource for another student or work colleague. Students are asked to identify an important skill or concept that is employed within their particular industry, and develop a stand-alone tutorial targeted at a new employee or intern. The tutorial should go beyond teaching skills or concepts to include understanding industry standards, how new knowledge has an impact on an individual's workflow, how learning these skills or concepts contribute to the organization, and the potential for further professional development. All tutorials must cite references-to be included as a reading list for the tutorial participant-within the tutorial content, and include learning objectives, a content review, and a final quiz that requires the learner to apply the tutorial content to a real life context. Students test each others' prototype tutorials in class and evaluate them on content, usability, and presentation. Each student provides feedback to two of their peers, by using an evaluation template provided by the course instructor. Students have an opportunity to revise the tutorial in response to the feedback, and submit a revision report with the final presentation. The students are asked to reflect on the entire process in the report by addressing the following questions: 1) The development process: How did they research, organize, and develop the content and format? 2) The two sets of feedback received: What did they learn about their product? 3) Revisions made: Why did they accept some suggestions and not others? 4) Their experience of the whole process, including their roles as evaluators: What did they learn, both about themselves and the learning process?

This paper discusses present solutions and future possibilities of multimedia in the Enterprise Simulation Laboratory at Helsinki University of Technology. Important challenges are addressed concerning the visualization, real time interaction and telepresence in complex, group mode business process modeling and simulation for organizational learning.

Over the last decade, the focus of K-12 and higher education has shifted significantly from disciplinary curricula to diverse interdisciplinary learning options. This has raised new questions about how people learn across disciplines. One of the biggest concerns is that interdisciplinary courses lack robust theoretical and pedagogical grounding, and research that informs design is particularly needed. However, such research requires bringing a range of different conceptual, pedagogical, and methodological ideas together. The main aim of this workshop is to articulate foundational ideas and methods for creating research-based design principles for interdisciplinary learning. It brings two main audiences: 1) those who are interested in the substantial questions of interdisciplinary learning, and 2) those who are interested in the methodological questions of creating research-based actionable knowledge for design. Workshop participants will work together on producing recommendations on creating research-based design principles for interdisciplinary learning.

Creating new knowledge is a core process in managing and enabling knowledge especially though socialisation in social networks. The social nature of social technologies and knowledge creation attracts research on knowledge creation in social networks. Social technologies a less costly but yet collaborative and diverse platforms for social networking, creating new knowledge and leveraging personal and collective knowledge. Building a knowing organisation may extend beyond knowledge sharing into creation of new knowledge. This paper explores existing aspects regarding joint creation of knowledge "knowledge co-creation" in social networks. The paper demonstrates how the empirical ideas on cocreation can be useful in exploring knowledge co-creation. This discussion explores and introduces the scope of knowledge co-creation in online social networks. We derive a typology of knowledge co-creation that suggests pathways and hypothetical propositions into exploring knowledge co-creation of in social networks.

Our societies need game changers that have the competencies to develop emerging business ecosystems based on digital data. We claim that these competencies can be taught through a networked education service process between students, companies of the emerging ecosystem, and university teachers. We present a case study of two university courses in Industrial Management that deal with networked business process development and management, and co-development intervention methods. Both courses include student assignments on an emerging ecosystem case. The assignments were integrated into the studying process through co-creative workshops with the case representatives. According to the results, all actors in the networked education process received value. First of all, the students accumulated competencies and expertise in developing business ecosystems. Facilitated by the students, the company representatives co-created in the workshops a shared understanding of their collaborative service process and service model, which triggered real-life innovations. The teachers realized their new roles and tasks as the "process owners" of the education service.-The results support the networked service approach in university education for competence co-creation. More experimental case and action research applying this approach is clearly worthwhile in all disciplines where students need to co-create competences in interaction with external actors that represent the field in practice.

When it comes to finding a new development formula in transition countries, it is worrisome that a well-trodden development paradigm lacks in today's multipolar world. Therefore, overcoming the apparent deadlock in the development of transition countries is possible only through the "new" order, or, in other words, through acceptance of the "new" economic paradigm of development. This paper aims to answer the key question regarding the development perspectives of the transition countries, "Can the transition countries (region) ever catch up with the living standards of the world's most advanced market economies?" In this sense, the research of a new development pattern involving reactivation of the entrepreneurial economy is the answer to the second question: given the omnipresent globalization, is it possible to reverse the concept of development in the transition to greater equality of wealth in the world; therefore, this paper openly advocates for the re-industrialization of transition countries.

The article asks: How can we work towards a notion of belonging if we haven’t worked out an equitable approach within our own group where everyone, including newcomers, feels like they belong? The article relies on a methodology of critical reflexive dialogue between the four co-authors – two scholars and two practitioners – to analyse and reflect on the ways that power imbalances are bound up in questions of belonging and representation.

In Africa there is a vast field of study which has never been systematically researched or analysed. In the past hundred years this field has become so pervasive as to now pass us by unnoticed. This is the field of the interaction between people and the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). Internal combustion engines are those in which motive power comes from the explosion of vapour – usually a petroleum distillatein a cylinder, and are to be found in virtually every generator, pump, motor-vehicle, and boat on Earth. Through four case studies, and informed by Actor Network Theory (ANT), the research project seeks to integrate ICE technology within a framework of analysis that explores the interrelationship between people and ICE technology over time in African societies.

Knowledge is a critical success factor for achieving a competitive advantage. A broad literature on organizational knowledge process has been provided, but investigations on knowledge creation beyond organizational boundaries are still lacking. This is the reason why the study explores, through the qualitative content analysis, the impact of the rural entrepreneurial context in a regional network project. The text processing and the words frequency explain how the spaces of interaction within the rural pilot cluster were too small, in terms of shared words, for activating a learning process of shared knowledge. The conceptual model that come out from the case study could be grounded to understand the "culturalization" of interorganizational knowledge in other cultural context.

Pressure to face sustainability challenges is encouraging research into the ways in which public managers embed sustainability in their work and implement it. The 2030 Agenda has given a boost to the use of accounting practices to achieve Sustainable Developments Goals. While sustainability, together with accounting and accountability, has been explored, less attention has been paid to the antecedents leading to its embedding in public management practices. To provide a contribution on this matter, this study investigates the organizational processes facilitating public managers in institutionalizing sustainability, accounting and accountability practices. Focusing on the 11th Sustainable Development Goal, "cities" are entrusted with making cultural heritage management sustainable, raising the research question: what challenges does the 11th Sustainable Development Goal pose for the public management of urban cultural heritage? Action Research was carried out to investigate knowledge building within a project-the "Pavia Network Project" (2014-2017)-involving practitioners and researchers. The research findings shed light on the organizational processes that led to the implementation of sustainable accounting and accountability by an Italian smart city. The choice fell on Pavia because of its invaluable cultural heritage, having been, through time, the capital of the Early Medieval Lombard Kingdom, a wealthy Renaissance court and an historical university town. From the discussion of the results, a conceptual model on the antecedents of sustainable accounting and accountability knowledge arose. Besides the limitations of Action Research, this model suggests meaningful insights for both practitioners and researchers into the organizational changes triggered by the 2030 Agenda.

PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero) (PTDI) has corporate strategy in 2012 upwards to develop new N-219 aircraft. This strategy requires employees to have knowledge to work in accordance with their competences in developing aircraft especially in Direktorat Teknologi dan Pengembangan (Dittekbang) of PTDI, the unit analysis of this study. Currently, no systematic process to maintain employees' knowledge and there will be knowledge loss from going to retire senior employees who have the valuable knowledge because of their experiences. PTDI management need to create Knowledge Management (KM) plan that could be brought effectively into Dittekbang. Questionnaire from Asian Productivity Organization (APO) KM Framework is adopted for this quantitative study. This is to assess current condition of KM and to develop KM plan to improve condition based on the assessment result. The findings, employees don't feel to be valued if they share their knowledge, management does not give rewards and incentives for knowledge sharing, and critical knowledge from leaving employees is not retained. Based on this, KM plan should prioritize to get top management commitment to support KM initiatives, to develop trust in knowledge sharing, and to capture knowledge of leaving employees to avoid loss of company's intellectual capital. Three knowledge sharing techniques emerged: mentoring, subject matter expert interview, and communities of practice. These tactics are assumed to have effective effect in knowledge transfer based on knowledge types, employees' expertise level, and the expected condition to achieve. These options are proposed to be implemented in combination with each other.

The paper describes the glossaLAB international project as a contribution to confront the urgent need of knowledge integration frameworks, as required to face global challenges that overwhelm disciplinary knowledge capacity. Under this scope, glossaLAB is devised to make contributions in three main aspects of such endeavor: (i) development of a sound theoretical framework for the unification of knowledge, (ii) establishment of broadly accepted methodologies and tools to facilitate the integration of knowledge, (iii) development of assessment criteria for the qualification of interdisciplinarity undertakings. The paper discusses the main components of the project and the solutions adopted to achieve the intended objectives at three different levels: at the technical level, glossaLAB aims at developing a platform for knowledge integration based on the elucidation of concepts, metaphors, theories and problems, including a semantically-operative recompilation of valuable scattered encyclopedic contents devoted to two entangled transdisciplinary fields: the sciences of systems and information. At the theoretical level, the goal is reducing the redundancy of the conceptual system (defined in terms of "intensional performance" of the contents recompiled), and the elucidation of new concepts. Finally, at the meta-theoretical level, the project aims at assessing the knowledge integration achieved through the co-creation process based on (a) the diversity of the disciplines involved and (b) the integration properties of the conceptual network stablished through the elucidation process. Acknowledgements: The authors wish to dedicate this work to the memory of Charles François. His work represents an invaluable and everlasting contribution to the integration of knowledge to which glossaLAB project is devoted. We are indebted to his legacy. This contribution has been carried out under support of glossaLAB project, co-founded by the Universidad Estatal Península de Santa Elena, Ecuador, and an international consortium of academic institutions.

Open science, as a common good, opens possibilities for the development of nations, through innovations and collaborative constructions, which help to democratize knowledge. Advances in this area are still emerging, and the open science, cocreation of knowledge and open innovation triangle, is presented as an opportunity to generate an original contribution from research to open educational theory and practices. The study analyzed the articles that addressed this triangle, in order to identify the contexts and challenges that arise in open innovation and the cocreation of knowledge to promote open science. The method was a systematic literature review (SLR) of 168 articles published in open access format, from January 2014 to May 2017 in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. In the validation process, the York University criteria were used: inclusion and exclusion, relevance of the pertinent studies, evaluation of the quality / validity of included studies and description of data...

Questions related to how we practice sustainability science remain salient in the face of the failure to achieve broad-scale sustainability objectives. Transdisciplinarity is an essential part of sustainability science. Transdisciplinary conceptual scholarship has been more prevalent than empirical scholarship or applications, especially in developing world contexts. In a single case study of a multiyear project addressing water security issues in HaMakuya, South Africa, we used a framework for assessing transdisciplinary objectives to facilitate more systematic learning for those who practice sustainability science. We found that defining the problem and assembling our team were easier than the co-creation of solutionoriented knowledge and the reintegration and application of this new knowledge. Our singular case study speaks to the potential challenges related to building relationships and co-creating knowledge in an epistemologically diverse setting. Other case studies appear to have negotiated these issues in developing country contexts, and this leaves room further investigation for how to practice transdisciplinarity under these conditions.

Crafts represent the cultural heritage and wisdom enshrined in their traditional practice. India is home to many crafts practised in the 21st Century, produced by traditional craftspeople with indigenous tools and methods from the past. Modern industrial production, disconnect with the contemporary consumer and shrinking economic viability pose a question mark on the future, existence and sustenance of many of these crafts. This case study examines the application and adaptation of the 21st-century design thinking (DT) approach for reimagining a craft, utilising co-creation as a tool. The collaboration between the craft practitioners and design students led to the development of contemporary and innovative products in the languishing craft of felt making, colloquially known as namda, in the Kutch district of Gujarat. This study spanned over seven months, spread over two years. The prototype development process offers a basis for proposing a DT approach specific to the crafts sector, endorses co-creation as a strategic tool, and highlights the relevance of empathy with the maker. The findings indicate the positive impact of DT with co-creation in collective creative endeavours that lead to new knowledge co-creation for the participants in terms of indigenous cultures, languages and social networking. The findings further resulted in developing a new framework for craft-based design development with the application of DT by utilising cocreation as a strategic tool. Through this framework, it would be possible to nurture the development of DT as a pedagogy for innovation and value creation in terms of knowledge cocreation in the context of crafts. This framework offers a scenario that can sustain the future of craft practices.

The advance of information technology and the availability of data in education management provide an opportunity, to run data analysis to assist top management in decision making. Information technology can transform data analysis in a more concise format, accurate, and in a short time, by using any available office application software which is already installed on the computer. However, even though the management at an operational-level in an organization usually already has the software installed on a computer to support the managing of data, the extent of knowledge and skills to use the software efficiently in decision making is still limited. This study applies the Trialogical Model to implement decision support tools for data analysis of distribution lecturer’s teaching and learning (TnL) hour at IPG Kampus Pendidikan Teknik (IPGKPT) by grade specifications. A literature review using the interpretive paradigm involved the Trialogical Model (includes Monological and Dialogical...

Connecting to Global Agendas "All cities aim to increase prosperity, promote social inclusion, and enhance resilience and environmental sustainability" (SDSN, 2016, p. 21). This chapter brings together some of the lessons drawn from previous chapters-the case studies, practice stories and the framework for inter-and transdisciplinary processes with three global agendas and their aspirations. Firstly, the New Urban Agenda (NUA); secondly the UN 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifcally goal no. 11 on Sustainable Cities and Communities and no. 4 on obtaining a quality education; and thirdly the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) initiative led by the United Nations Educational, Scientifc and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). A key requirement of these global agendas is the need to be adaptable and local, which depends on the enhancement of capacities for "participatory, integrated and sustainable" planning and management. 1 Implementing international, national and even regional policies and plans into the specifc realities of cities and towns locally, is often problematic. Turning globally conceived agendas local means enabling interconnected and sustainable urban knowledge, and giving voice and legitimacy to a multiplicity of agencies, worldviews, ways of knowing and understanding the problems and the possibility for alternative ways of doing things. We question how to localise the global agenda, in relation to the specifc targets of the SDG on Sustainable Cities and Communities to "enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries" and explore the contribution of inter-and transdisciplinary processes to this.
