“…Our findings show that the potential for value creation is, in part, contextual and that academics and industry mentors must understand how knowledge is contextualised to realise this potential. The importance of including context with regard to value creation is discussed in the literature on knowledge creation (Hautala & Höyssä, 2017;Hautala & Jauhiainen, 2014) and collaborations between universities and entrepreneurs (Hytti et al, 2015). Knowledge readiness, like other sub-dimensions of cognitive proximity (Huber, 2012), can enhance knowledge integration between partners in university-industry collaborations because it enables them to act on knowledge.…”

“…While the literature discussing the role of proximity for value creation often views knowledge as a process detached from time, recent research has discussed time in relation to geographical and cognitive proximity (Hautala & Jauhiainen, 2014). Hautala and Höyssä (2017) link time, knowledge, and micro-scale knowledge interpretation and suggest that time empowers knowledge to flow between actors at a micro level. More research is needed to understand the relevance of time for knowledge readiness and value co-creation.…”

This study explores value co-creation in university industry collaborations. The study is inspired by the constructivist approach to grounded theory and self-ethnography and based on interviews with 27 informants (eleven industry mentors and 16 academics) engaged in university industry collaborations. The findings suggest that co-creation depends on knowledge readiness and knowledge readiness develops through an interplay between temporary geographical and cognitive proximity. This study contributes to the existing literature on value co-creation, university industry collaborations, and proximity as follows: first, we shed light on the use of the co-creation perspective to enhance understandings of how value can be co-created in university industry collaborations. Second, we introduce the concept of knowledge readiness and demonstrate that co-creation in university industry collaborations between academics and industry mentors rests on knowledge readiness. Knowledge readiness concerns knowledge use and develops in the interplay between temporary geographical and cognitive proximity. We describe knowledge readiness as a subdimension of cognitive proximity. Knowledge readiness takes time to develop and is important for value co-creation and, subsequently, innovation in university industry collaborations.

“…To understand the procedural nature of knowledge creation in depth, the scholars of knowledge creation and organisational studies have called for a more nuanced and practice-based consideration of these processes (e.g., Hautala and Höyssä 2017;Ibert 2007;Schillings and van Wickeren 2015). Projects can be considered temporary organisations (e.g., Sydow and Braun 2018;Turner and Müller 2003), and the routines and practices in the organisations need to be understood as sensible (Strati 2007), embodied (Gärtner 2013;Viteritti 2013;Wright 2019), ambiguous, and situated in action (Feldman et al 2016).…”

Development Cooperation as a Knowledge Creation Process: Rhythmanalytical Approach to a Capacity-Building Project in Zanzibar

In development cooperation, the ideas of material support and instructive teaching have increasingly given way to those of reciprocal collaboration and non-material support. In this research, we explore the potential of rhythmanalysis as an approach to studying complex knowledge creation processes in an international development cooperation project. The Zan-SDI project aimed to enhance the geospatial infrastructure in Zanzibar through cooperation between Finnish and Zanzibarian experts. Our rhythmanalysis shows that knowledge creation in the everyday practices of development cooperation is extremely vulnerable to various distractions on multiple spatio-temporal scales. Continuous learning and efforts are required to sustain the project ensemble and knowledge creation. Although new partnerships and inter-organisational collaboration are a source of novelty and innovation, much of their potential remains unrealised without intensive long-term engagement, possibilities to quickly reform the project scheme, and a sufficient combination of financial, material and non-material support.
