Despite increasing knowledge intensity in product development, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the dynamic interrelations of knowledge types, stakeholders and artefacts in value creation processes.This dilemma counts also for engineering science as a discipline. This paper proposes a conceptual framework that allows for the analysis of dynamic knowledge flows in practical design processes and fundamental engineering research. Results from exemplary applications on two use cases will be used to illustrate its overall applicability and its potentials for science and industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
