The process of creating knowledge between different actors in co-creation ba: a case study of the Panasonic smart city project

Although there is high interest in creating new value through co-creation among different actors, a theoretical framework for these specific processes has not been established. This chapter builds a hypothesis for a theoretical framework on the processes of knowledge creation between different actors in light of knowledge gained from existing research on knowledge creation, co-creation, open innovation and boundaries knowledge, etc. Then, the chapter verifies the hypothesis through a case analysis of a smart city construction.
