Roles of Theories and Models in Interactive Knowledge Creation - Reflections from a Business Network and IT Case Study

摘要

Knowledge creation between researchers and practitioners can take place and be arranged in a number of different ways. The arrangements and knowledge creation processes can utilize different theories and models, or be more tied to the studied context, and the participating actors. In this paper we present some reflections of interactive knowledge creation based on theory and a business network and IT case study that we have performed. We characterise our research process as an iterative and circular one, resulting in further developed theories, concepts, models and practice.
