The whole research path was through interdisciplinary approach, and the methods of complexity science, knowledge management and organizational learning was introduced.The main research contents and innovation points are as following:The concept of enterprise knowledge creation and conversion was proposed, which was developed through process philosophy, genetic epistemology, complex science and the theory of emergence.Holistic enterprise knowledge creation and conversion theory was constructed to analyze knowledge emergence in the systems of human beings by introducing new development of contextual complexity research, which regarded enterprise as an open and independence human complex system.Based on enterprise knowledge demand, knowledge creative activities were directly combined with business process and value creation activities. The operation mechanism and accomplish mechanism was researched. According to the degree of context, knowledge can be managed by content management method and context management method.
