Abstract: We introduce a framework for understanding knowledge production 
in which: knowledge is produced in stages (along a research to development 
continuum) and in three discrete categories (science and understanding, 
tools and technology, and societal use and behavior); and knowledge in the 
various stages and categories is produced both non-interactively and 
interactively. The framework attempts to balance: our experiences as 
working scientists and technologists, our best current understanding of 
the social processes of knowledge production, and the possibility of 
mathematical analyses. It offers a potential approach both to improving 
our basic understanding, and to developing tools for enterprise 
management, of the knowledge-production process. Published by Elsevier
