This paper utilizes theory from several previous Science that do not exist in a vacuum. It is surrounded by philosophy, theology (although not always popular to recognise today) and art as a beginning. These diverse areas have undergone parallel developments and as they do so the tools and...

This paper is an examination of a class of complex adaptive systems, which spans the interactions of humans, organizations and organizational networks that cluster into industries and cities. In complexity both positive and negative constraints shape the nature of complex systems structures....

This paper examines the interaction and development of tacit (informal) knowledge networks and how knowledge transfers occur within an intelligent transport organization (ITS Australia). The work is informed on a biological theory of organization combining Maturana and Varela's concept of...

This paper will examine the development and tracking of tacit (informal) knowledge transfer within a complex system and through the lens of scalability. The relevance of complex systems to transport is that transportation and mobility are highly complex systems. Understanding the combination of...

This paper will examine the development of sustainable SME methods for tracking tacit (informal) knowledge transfer as a series of networks of larger complex system. Understanding sustainable systems begins with valuing tacit knowledge networks and their ability to produce connections on...

This paper reports the findings of a case study of Invincible Company Limited, an organization that has successfully completed the manufacture of an innovative fiberglass fire-fighting truck. The study aimed to investigate effective ways in which (i) new product development (ii) e-business and...

This paper will examine specific elements of knowledge transfer methods that SMEs themselves need to become aware of, identify with in their organizations and actively encourage. The understanding, identification and facilitation of knowledge network transfers create the basis for sustainable...
