Abstract
The chapter reviews recent advances in describing processes of knowledge and technology creation using models of such processes that stress and utilize the a-rational abilities of human mind such as tacit knowledge, emotion, instincts, intuition. To such models belong Shinayakana Systems Approach, SECI Spiral, Knowledge Pentagram or i-System, Creative Space and diverse knowledge creation spirals that can be distinguished in this space. The chapter discusses the relations between such models in detail and indicates diverse applications such as knowledge archive systems, an evaluation system for research activities and environments in academia, technology roadmaps; this chapter illustrates another application, that of fresh food management system. The main thesis of this chapter is that such models can be used as prototypes of network services supporting knowledge management and generally creativity.
