Towards a Knowledge-Based Innovation Tutoring System

Abstract We present a knowledge-based approach to implementing a tutoring system for innovation management. The knowledge-based approach proposed aims to solve the pervasive knowledge bottleneck problem of innovation and entrepreneurship. Solving this problem in emerging regions of innovation and entrepreneurship amounts to bridging the knowledge gaps associated with managing processes of technology innovation and entrepreneurship with a view to increasing the global competitiveness of emerging regions of innovation and entrepreneurship. We validated the main hypotheses on which this approach is based using the ICT industry in Chile as a quintessential example of an emerging region of technology innovation and entrepreneurship. We find empirical evidence to suggest that the knowledge-based management system approach proposed is a tenable approach to solving the knowledge bottleneck problem for companies arising out of the ICT industry in Chile and put the case that such an approach might be used to solve this problem in other emerging regions of innovation and entrepreneurship as well.
