Transformed knowledge (knowledge from legacy systems and cultural dependency)

Knowledge source and transfer:

Knowledge transformation from legacy systems; knowledge transformation across different cultures for communication and information systems development; e.g. process of enterprise knowledge extraction from relational database and source code of legacy information systems; e.g. analysis of data reverse engineering and program techniques for the schema and semantics of information systems building; and for interaction across cultural boundaries.

Purpose of data collection:

Building and improving processes; updating legacy systems to new or improved products and services; renovating legacy processes; and service design.

Unit of analysis:

System; routine; process; service; cultural proximity; domain and ontology.

Methodology:

Information system research; design science research; service design studies; action research; research of knowledge extraction; research of relational database, data reverse engineering, and analysis of legacy information systems.

Evidence:

Ontological contribution; constructs; models and cross-border methods; and common information and systems sharing across borders.

Dependency:

Strong development path-dependency and cultural-dependency.

Inquired knowledge (knowledge from experience, events and mechanism)

Knowledge source and transfer:

Acquisitions related to phenomenon or experience which maters and are meaningful; knowledge related to events and mechanisms; significance of target in regional-global scale; a systematic study directed toward improved understanding or knowledge of the fitting aspects of remarkable phenomena without specific applications or products or services in direct mind.

Purpose of data collection:

Adopting subject related knowledge; structures and schemas; focus in knowledge which is useful and maters in context; ontological or epistemological implications; improved understanding for development of artifacts, resources and work places.

Unit of analysis:

Individual; student; participator; actor; group; work place; organization; and region.

Methodology:

Deductive and analytic investigations; studies of problem solving; studies of research scopes; testing and validation studies; studies of experience or cognitive processes; case studies; progressive inquiry for service or artifact development; critical realist studies; interviews of experts; questionnaires; observations; document analysis; and multiple methods.

Evidence:

Experience; structure; model; display; classification; and description.

Dependency:

Context-dependency; path-dependency; and cultural-dependency.

Focused knowledge (knowledge from innovation and open sources)

Knowledge source and transfer:

New and emergent knowledge sources as lead knowledge sources, open sources and open innovations which are especially addressed for value-addition purposes; in the environment of this study, the expected advance is that participators can use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths, as well as research consortium paths and knowledge as one way into national-global markets; the focused knowledge path address to the value-‎‎added chains which includes great economic potential and options to furthering of economical collaboration by sharing risk and sharing possible reward.

Purpose of data collection:

Radical innovations; proliferation; focused education; regional-national configurations; specialization; knowledge-based competition; building and improving business and service strategy or model; conferences; seminars; workshops and meetings for competitiveness.

Unit of analysis:

Idea; scope; target; product; service; value-added chain; economic potential; open source; and interest group.

Methodology:

Case study research, design science research; last-mile research and action research.

Evidence:

Effect on economic growth and employment; inventions; samples towards on value-added ‎chains with high economic potential; creation of new jobs and strengthening of innovative ‎‎potential; samples of enhancing strengths; successful new markets; samples toward social demands; samples of ‎networking and clustering; completed shared R&D projects and infrastructure; and shared risk assessment.

Dependency:

Strategy-dependency; expertise related; concept-dependency; target-dependency; and community-dependency.
