Novelty of the Dynamic Engine Model
KNOC model is the novelty strategic learning framework for CDA. It
uniquely defines the cluster development as the multidimensional continuous
process integrated with the impacting externalities of the cluster base
mechanism.
This model is expanded from the existing competitiveness model in order to
cope with the new perspectives assumption i.e.




The dynamism of each cluster initiative is unique and significantly
depends upon local situation. Hence, it is difficult to duplicate the same
action even for the same type of cluster on different location.
Dynamism should be defined as the interaction between predefined
factors of the model and contribution of the locality. Therefore, the newer
competitiveness models should not consider only on the business
activities to drive the maximum profit as the main objectives. But it
should rather concern the business and the well being of the local
communities simultaneously.
The complexity of cluster and competitiveness is usually accelerated by
the compound irresolvable dynamic related issues over the time span of
the cluster initiatives. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a new
dynamic framework to reduce chronic compound complexity issues in
addition to the predefined competitiveness frameworks.
Competitiveness framework should refocus not on the factors but the
process in conjunction with the underline economic theories to recreate
the learning in action.
“Dynamic engine” is an enhancement framework which can be further
illustrated by the following:
In the area of competitiveness
1. It expands the existing model to include the dynamic integration
of the business contributing factors.
2. It is also considering the projection of the local economic
resilience from the business benefits.
3. It divides the cluster initiatives contributing factors into the
characterized sets of attributes in order to modeling the complex
and repeatable nature of each cluster initiative.
4. It simplify the cluster initiate complexity by focus on the local
learning process improvement with Knowledge Networking
Ontology for Cluster (KNOC) to facilitate the cluster initiative
judgment call by which not only obtain the understanding of the
complexity of a situation, but also the ability to make sense and
simplify so that action can be taken. It is the concept of how to
makes best use of the knowledge in the action-oriented situations.
5. It further expanding the knowledge framework with the
judgment wisdom. It proposed the balancing of the business
improvement with the local context development to create the
“right-sized economy” suitable for the sustainable long term
economic development with Judgment based on the Knowledge
Methodology illustrated how things can be done but whether or
not things can be done, or ought to be done.
In the area of Knowledge Management in used:
1. Knowledge Networking Ontology for Cluster (KNOC) is derived
from the combination of the western conceptual framework in
conjunction with the eastern Knowledge Management with Zen
philosophy in order to reduce the confusion of learning by doing.
2. Expand the model of Ontology relationship between entities with
the analogy learning method which can further systematically
improve the classification of relation between sets of entities.
3. KNOC model can be further expanded into the Knowledge
Networking Ontology for National (KNON) to address the
national agenda with knowledge management.
Future Discussion
Knowledge Management, in the recent year, has been widely accepted in
organization development. It actually is a tool for managing knowledge
workers in the new world economic development. In addition, the model I
proposed in this study is to develop a new application for the long term
initiatives i.e. government initiative which usually chronic in nature.
KNOC model is an example of using knowledge management to improve
managing of the chronic complexity development under cluster
framework. Since the cluster initiative usually take extended period of
time and usually difficult to foresee the result or unable to set forth the
clear direction.
As mentioned earlier the understanding the different between the cluster
theoretical frameworks and learning process of cluster initiatives. The
learning process in the cluster initiative using knowledge management
framework i.e. System Thinking, Analogy Learning, Ontology, Cyafin
framework and etc. helps reduce the complexity to leaser degree.
KNOC model can be further explored as one example of the new
applications of Knowledge Management in chronic confusion resolution.
I have been tiring to explore the possibility to expand this research into a
new general framework of Knowledge management particularly in the
government initiatives for the long-term social and economic
development. For the recent years, government initiatives particularly the
developing countries are facing the repeatedly dilemmas of the social and
economic issues. I have been suggesting KNOC model as a referencing
platform to be used in a few initiatives i.e. Open Source Initiative, Poverty
Reduction, Fruit and Vegetable Supply Chain.
