Bridging the Science-Management Divide: Moving from Unidirectional Knowledge Transfer to Knowledge Interfacing and Sharing

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the importance of the tacit dimension of knowledge, and how this renders the concept of knowledge transfer much less useful than the concepts of information transfer and technology transfer, and propose that co-production of knowledge through collaborative learning between experts and users is a more suitable approach to building a knowledge system for the sustainable management of ecosystems.

From the concept of system to the paradigm of complexity

TL;DR: The author suggests that contemporary advances in the authors' knowledge of organization call for a radical reformation in their organization of knowledge, which involves the mobilization of recursive thinking, which is to say a manner of thinking capable of establishing a dynamic and generative feedback loop.
