Maturity model of transdisciplinary knowledge management

Abstract

In this article a maturity model for the management of transdisciplinary knowledge is presented, although research nowadays is transdisciplinary the different maturity models proposed in the literature are oriented towards interdisciplinary knowledge management, and, at most, they are oriented toward multidisciplinary knowledge management. The objective is proposing an evolutionary model which accepts knowledge as intensely active and dynamic and evolving in maturity from the early stages of research. But this is possible only if the research team adopt a clear, clean and joint process of disciplinary integration and transdisciplinary integration of the produced and discovered knowledge. In this way, the results of research will have a greater influence on society and they also will be adopted by society.
