A Non-standard Society Is Getting New Clothes: Evidencing Knowledge Gaps with C-K Design Innovation Theory

Abstract

Emergence of post-industrial societies is found on knowledge as a primary resource. The paper evidences changes from previous society’s phases of functioning and shows ways for centering knowledge in post-industrial times. Concepts are reformulated with C-K design innovation Theory, fostering the way towards transdisciplinarity.
The case of generating co-working spaces illustrates knowledge absorption and networkbased intensities, opening avenues for altering working paradigms that shift collaborative experiences. This is core to the advent of fully-fledged Knowledge societies (KS) where ternary models develop, socio-economic molds spiral up qualitative growth, thus departing from past dual fragmentations.
