Construction of research paradigm for techno-innovation:Based on knowledge space-time

Abstract

Abstract: By analyzing the core function of knowledge in techno-innovation, the inter-transformation of knowledge-information-knowledge is upheld as its micro-mechanism and information is taken as the carrier of interaction among agents to construct paradigm for techno-innovation research. In terms of research object and scape, theory analysis framework, and concept hierarchies, the cognitive and directive functions of the techno-innovation research paradigm are illustrated based on knowledge space-time. Firstly, the uniform knowledge space-time based on fractal as the research object and scope of techno-innovation. Furthermore, in the perspective of knowledge space-time, the benchmark in which features of knowledge space-time and information flow are correlated is established and the applications of tensor analysis-the basic analyzing tool in techno-innovation are probed into, it leads to the construction of theory analysis framework. In the end, the organization and expansion of the correlative concept hierarchies are dedicated, therefore, it could form a concept system of logical consistency. Finally, a relatively uniform platform to syncretize various studies on techno-innovation is provided.

Key words: techno-innovation, knowledge space-time, information (flow) theory analysis framework, concept hierarchy
