The "knowledge governance approach" is characterized as an emerging approach that cuts across the fields of knowledge management within open innovation and adjusts mutual behavior that parties taking participate in open innovation to be expected. The paper proposed that knowledge governance approach is positively related to open innovation, and then the research has explored the antecedent factors and working mechanism of knowledge governance within open innovation based on Grounded Theory. By way of literature analysis and qualitative research (deeply discussion numbered 27), the paper has derived four dimension of knowledge governance (knowledge property, knowledge activity parties, the exogenous and endogenous context of knowledge activity) and the categories of each dimension. The paper has considered that the knowledge governance is formed by the interplay between interactive value creation process at the knowledge property-level and cooperation unity achieving process at the knowledge activity parties-level. We develop two theoretical models, while one is for explaining the antecedent factors of knowledge governance within open innovation, the other is for explaining the mediating role of knowledge governance in the relationship between knowledge property and knowledge activity parties level antecedents. The paper has strengthened the function of quantitative research, and will be helpful in open innovation theory and practice.
Surfactants play an important role in enhancing oil recovery (EOR). With the development of tertiary oil recovery technology and the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements, green environmentally friendly surfactants play an important role in replacing conventional surfactants. In this paper, cardanol polyoxyethylene ether (CPE) was synthesized from natural biomass cardanol. Its structure was characterized, and its surface/interface properties, salt and temperature resistance, wettability, emulsification, and oil displacement effect were studied experimentally. The results showed that CPE had good interfacial activity and temperature and salt tolerance, which can reduce the oil−water interfacial tension to 10 −1 mN/m. The emulsion formed by CPE had good stability. With the increase in CPE dosage, the droplet size of the emulsion decreases. The emulsion stabilized by CPE can effectively enhance oil recovery by 11.8%. Therefore, CPE not only is environmentally friendly but also has great application potential in the field of EOR.
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.
