Netherlands (both winning and no more effective), and likewise innovative

opportunities, difficulties and dilemma's they'd to house. They
especially deal with how a ways the function and theoretical views of
collaborative researchers can lead them in motion study. Can they
limit themselves to joint wisdom creation and studying processes
or should still they interact in strategic positioning, advocacy and
entrepreneurship to make it take place? The e-book discusses the problems that
researchers should still examine once they place their research
activities inside ongoing advancements at panorama point. learn the

E. concerning the type of research applied. More specific, three factors in particular may constrain the envisaged research collaboration (Carlile, 2002): • The syntactic problem: actors from different social worlds do not share a syntax or language to transfer knowledge to one another. • The semantic problem: actors from different social worlds give different interpretations and meaning to words and issues, as they have a different historical background, norms, values and interests. • The pragmatic problem: actors from different social worlds have invested in knowledge production and practice.
