[Air-l] sharing cross-disciplinary knowledge and sustainable contemporary development.

[Paolo Manzelli]

Dear colleagues,


the disciplinary historical nature of an academic discipline, is born in
the industrial age within the goal to  separate the difference sin time
production between knowledge i.e. an intangible asset  from the
efficiency  of the industrial production of tangible goods.

Therefore in the industrial age the efficiency for the production of
tangible goods  get a central focus on the division of  manual ad
intellectual labour and inside of the intellectual labour itself. .

In that obsolete context of the industrial society , the the "space" or
conceptual territory of a discipline was subdivided in more and more
sections opening fan of limited specialization

Today in the context of a accelerated incoming of the  "digital age",
the need to growth up the knowledge economy push the Knowledge
Management  innovation to  the sharing of knowledge for reducing the
risk and competitive redundancy in the global market context , and this
contemporary exigency correspond to a deep  change of the
interrelationships between the industrial societal structure of division
of labour and the post industrial one for assessing the networking's
added value to geographical extended enterprises.

Therefore it will be not more  central to the traditional organization
of the academic  professional teaching at  the University , in fact the
old disciplinary method of academic learning toadies gives as a result a
large intellectual unemployment all over the world.

I shall hope that an innovation of knowledge management and an new
enterprise architecture of sharing knowledge between University and
networking enterprises
generated as soon as it will be possible,  a new knowledge architecture
os skills , that will be necessary to accelerate  the integration of
knowledge among University and Enterprises , for creating added value to
the intangible assets  that permit a new accuracy of team-process
productivity sustainable development into a large accessibility to
International Communication Technologies  to effectively produce usable
shared knowledge for a renovating  developmental path.

Therefore the overcoming of the obsolete limited  "space" or conceptual
territory of each  traditional discipline will be the main obstacle to
link with a necessary flexiblity the sustainable developmental strategy
of contemporary Knowledge Economy with the focus to the processes that
can generate an high  qualitative development  of the future information
society.
