Knowledge Ecology in an Innovation Process : A Case Study
Innovation Showcase Tihomira Trifonova
This case study explores a service innovation process with the purpose of clarifying its so-called knowledge ecology. We use the knowledge ecology concept here to signify the relational aspects of creation and utilisation of information that changes something through mobilisation of collective intelligence. We find it necessary to do this because the innovation process condenses meaning and evolves in a non-linear form. To understand it, all the information needs to be undone first, “uncondensed” in order to make it linear. The case study uses the observation method to identify structures of meaning and distinctions, which specify domains of action. The findings can contribute to the challenging task of organising and managing the innovation process, which in our case evolves from knowing what we know to knowing what we do not know. They provide a framework, and hopefully some tools and practices for crafting and sustaining evolving webs of relationships in which to embed and preserve evanescent knowledge.
Unravelling Family Dynamics: Exploring Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Relationships in Australian Farming Families View Digital Media
Innovation Showcase Karen Cosgrove, Abigail Cook Singh
In examining the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law the focus of analysis, this study seeks to deepen our understanding of the position of women and their relationships in farming families. Participants included mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who are currently living, or who have, previously lived on family farms across Australia. The analysis was based on a longitudinal study where rich material was collected from interviews, emails, letters, poetry, and workshops. By focusing on these relationships, the study revealed experiences that were not only extraordinary but also shaped individual self-perception. These relationships influenced family dynamics and the construction of social and labour relations within the family farm system. The research underscores the complexities of these often dynamic and fluid relationships and their significant impact on family relations and farm businesses.
Featured Redimo - a Potential App on Syntax Analysis View Digital Media
Innovation Showcase Diego De Haro, Mary Griffith
The purpose of this study is to create a didactical app based on the rules of Chomsky’s Generative Grammar to help students check their learning on Syntax lessons, practice before exams and understand rules of sentence structures and language generation patterns in English. In a nutshell, I want to achieve these goals: Starting first on six modalities (affirmatives, negatives, interrogatives, passives, emphatic —with topicalization and locative inversion— and ambiguous sentences), it will be possible to provide a syntactic description on a tree-diagram. Every projection would be automatically generated according to the grammatical category of the phrase. First, it would start by an “IP” or inflection phrase, where any other projection would be drawn around. Thanks to this tree-diagram picture, the students could check and put into practice their acquired knowledge before every exam. Moreover, they will be able to identify sentence generation principles, which is also possible for non-native speakers. In every main phrase, the user can click on to obtain an explanation and understand the phrase location. For instance, Abney’s proposal specifies that every noun in English must be syntactically preceded by a DP, even if it is overt or covert. Another example could allude to the Extended Projection Principle —abbreviated as “EPP”—, asserting that every sentence in English must have a subject within. In the thesis, the main purpose right now lies on trying to add these possibilities to ChatGPT, especially by making it able to disambiguate sentences and portray different projections.
