What is Interdisciplinary Communication

Chapter 16
Handbook of Research on Effective Project Management through the Integration of Knowledge and Innovation
A problem focused contextualisation of an interdisciplinary communication is established when participants understand that ‘a) the approach, problem perception and problem analysis can occur, b) it is realized that the process of knowledge generation differs from that in standard departmental communication, and c) i participants to such a conversation seek to understand and appreciate each other as bearers of knowledge that differs but each one has equal weight.

Abstract
This chapter examines from a Knowledge Integration (KI) perspective the innovation potential that resides in KI for the generation of Information System (IS) based on organizational innovation. The chapter does this by examining methodologically the process of Requirements Engineering (RE) as a research topic and uses for this purpose a mixed-method approach including literature review, participant observation, and recourse to secondary research. The chapter first outlines the emergence of KI as research topic in its own right before the emergence of IS as innovation in organizations is described. The chapter then examines the innovation inhibitors to KI as proxy for innovation generation. It argues in the conclusion that taking RE for IS premises and research methods employed in relation to research into KI might be guided by rationalistic efficiency-driven conceptions, while KI as research agenda seems to be premised on a notion of effectiveness.
