This work focuses on the creation of new knowledge, and how this
has happened throughout all ages, as far back as the time of
ancient philosophy to today. A product of integral research, it
covers the process of creating new knowledge, leveraging existing
knowledge, sometimes resulting in cutthroat innovations. It also
includes knowledge systems such as conventional university systems
to Mode 2 university concepts, culminating on integral research to
innovation. This book will help the reader to realise that the
subject of knowledge creation is no longer business as usual. Many
innovations have been created for human benefit in general, but
such innovations may have benefited only parts of society. The
challenge in the world is that, while new innovations may be
brilliant, there are sections of society who continue to slip into
poverty. Modern innovators must also consider such communities and
come up with appropriate interventions. This book will open the
eyes of innovators to new possibilities. In addition, the subject
of knowledge should not be an elitist affair. One may stand to gain
a lot by seeing the knowledge in other people, whatever their
station in life. This realisation can enable serious innovators to
widen their scope in terms of the sources of existing knowledge
which can be improved and reassessed as new knowledge. Such
existing knowledge can be identified by engaging the very
communities that may be affected by a problem or challenge. Such
communities will have had time to interrogate their situations and
think of possible solutions to such, though they might not have the
economic capacity to implement such solutions. This is always a
useful starting point if one is seeking a solution to a community
problem. This book will be useful to students interested in the
subject of knowledge and innovation, from under-graduate to PhD
level. It will also benefit captains of industry, executives and
managers who are interested in improving their knowledge
improvement cycles in their companies.
