Contextual-Based Knowledge Creation for Agroindustrial Innovation

Abstract

This paper discusses the knowledge creation process in one department, in a higher educational context, and the possible actions to take to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the knowledge creation system in it. We conducted a case study at one department of a university that strives to improve its innovations, in terms of their quantity and quality.We used a soft system methodology to investigate the knowledge creation system in the chosen department. From the study, we conclude that the department can be considered as a learning organization, within which its staff continually create, acquire and transfer knowledge. This department has a learning environment which is conducive, concrete learning processes, and leadership that reinforces learning. In the context of producing agroindustry innovations, the knowledge creation system in this department is considered to be less effective since it frequently happens more at individual or small group levels. To improve its effectiveness, the management may facilitate the institutionalization of knowledge creation processes at every phase of the interactions between tacit and explicit knowledge.

Knowledge Creation and Innovative Behavior in Industry 4.0

“…This shows that the main factor in the combination is very important to do. As expressed by [5] that turning ideas into new forms of explicit knowledge requires a combination of existing knowledge and ideas. In addition, according to [6] explained that knowledge sharing and innovative spirit are an important part of the internalization process.…”

“…Further [7] reveals that Knowledge is the whole body of cognition and skills that individuals use to solve problems. In addition [5] explains that every member of the organization creates knowledge; thus, the individual is the driver of knowledge creation. The results of significance test on the path coefficient estimation on the model are all significant at the 5% error rate or the P-value value of each path coefficient having a value <0.05.…”

“…Each individual must have the ability to develop knowledge in the organization. According to [5] Creation of model knowledge is developed based on the tacit and explicit knowledge transformation within an organization. Tacit knowledge is deeply rooted in the actions, ideas, and values of individuals, therefore very personal, difficult to formulate and difficult to communicate with others.…”

“…The study results of [5] revealed that the knowledge creation system will improve learning, increase the accumulation of knowledge, and improve the quality and quantity of each innovation in the company. The knowledge creation system has become one of the important organizational issues.…”

“…Tacit merupakan pengetahuan yang bersifat tersembunyi didalam pikiran seseorang [13], bersifat tidak struktur karena pengetahuan ini masih didalam pikiran seseorang yang sulit di definisikan [12] dan bersifat intuisi, pengalaman bahasa tubuh dan perasaan [14]. Sedangkan pengetahuan explicit yaitu pengetahuan yang telah terdefinisi dan disimpan pada media seperti dokumen, hasil laporan atau artikel [15] misalnya dengan melakukan penelitian, bekerja sama dengan orang lain untuk mencari dan berbagi hasil pemikiran yang baru [16].…”
