The combination of decreasing public allocations to universities with relevance pressure from both governments and private corporations has contributed to the rise of the phenomenon of Mode 2 knowledge production. Many Mode 2 researchers have been encouraged and stimulated to experiment with new forms of organizing the production of knowledge while remaining within the context of the traditional European university. This has resulted in the emergence of number of new institutional formats including university based research centers or institutes and long-term research programs have emerged. While there has been a lively debate about the transitions in the landscape of knowledge production, it has failed to address its organizational details. A detailed look at transition cases pushed forward by political programs promoting knowledge exchange between university and industry shows that the institutionalization of Mode 2 is accompanied by significant problems for the management of research and the production of knowledge.

Mode 2 Knowledge Production

This chapter investigates how the modernised university might be transformed by the wider adoption of Mode-2 knowledge production. Mode-2 knowledge production, production of dispersed, team-based knowledge, as distinct from the traditional discipline-based Mode-1 knowledge production, was first identified and discussed by Gibbons et al. in 1994. Since then, the terminology has found its way into more general discourse about research and teaching and learning, but in that discourse, Mode-2 knowledge production has struggled to find the legitimacy and acceptance accorded to Mode-1. This is in spite of the fact that knowledge today is most often produced in collaboration, is transmitted in multi-mediated modalities, and utilised in transformative ways very often not envisioned by the generators of that knowledge. It is argued that the reason for the lack of acceptance lies in the fact that a supporting epistemology for Mode-2 knowledge has not, to date, been adequately developed. Thus, the chapter proposes that an epistemology based in philosophical or “American” pragmatism founded by Charles Sanders Peirce can be adopted to provide an articulated and well-grounded epistemology to support Mode-2 as a legitimate form of knowledge production.

Mode 2 Knowledge Production

Purpose Research in business processes has been developed around a disciplinary approach toward the production of traditional knowledge, known as Mode 1. The problems studied with this approach are solved in a context in which academic knowledge prevails, with no major concerns regarding its practical applicability. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to propose a structure for knowledge production based on Mode 2 for business process researches. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric research was conducted to define and conceptualize the classes of disciplinary problems, by assessing the years 2007-2012 of the Business Process Management Journal publications. Findings A framework for the Mode 2 knowledge production was proposed in the development of research in business process and conceptualized classes of problems related to this issue. Research limitations/implications This work was carried out with specific focus on research in business process, so the defined classes of problems cannot be generalized. Originality/value The studies identified by this research are in the form of a disciplinary approach toward the production of traditional knowledge, known as Mode 1. This paper aims to fill the gap of a transdisciplinary production of knowledge and practical application, known as Mode 2 in the context of business process.

Radical Discontinuity

Current changes in the science system, conceptualized as cyberscience, Mode 2 knowledge production or Triple Helix, have been debated heavily these last decades. This paper rearticulates these debates by studying the ways in which the emergence and use of ICTs have conditioned changes in the science system. We analyse these changes, based on empirical studies and theoretical conceptualizations, as an interaction at three levels: researching, scientizing and politicking. The analysis suggests that the main result of the use of ICTs in sciences is an additional layer of communication, providing heterogeneity on top of established patterns and allowing a recombination of new and established elements. Concepts of radical discontinuity in sciences are rejected and policy implications are offered on the basis of the analysis.

RESUMO Orientação para a aplicação, transdisciplinaridade e relevância social são algumas características do chamado Modo 2 de produção da ciência. Neste modelo, a troca de informações e a transparência são valorizadas, o que inspira experiências de produção do conhecimento baseadas na colaboração. Um exemplo é o caso das “bactérias extraterrestres”, quando uma controvérsia científica foi debatida e ampliada por meio de ferramentas da internet. O acontecimento mostra a convivência de uma ciência tradicional, mais fechada, com uma ciência aberta, marcada pela troca e transparência, levando à reflexão sobre a produção do conhecimento na contemporaneidade, e tensões e desafios para o futuro.Palavras-chave: Ciência Modo 2; Ciência Pós-Acadêmica; Colaboração; Ciência Aberta; Blog.ABSTRACT Application contexts, transdisciplinarity and social relevance are some of the characteristics of the so-called mode 2 of science production. In this model, the exchange of information and transparency are valued, inspiring knowledge production experiences based on collaboration. An example is the case of “alien bacteria”, where a scientific controversy has been discussed and amplified by internet tools. It reveals the coexistence of traditional science with open science, characterized by exchange and transparency, leading to a reflection on the production of knowledge in the contemporary world, its tensions and challenges for the future.Keywords: Mode 2 Science; Post-Academic Science; Collaboration; Open Science; Blog.
