New approaches to learning knowledge-intensive activities

The article aims at investigating the managing activities in the context of management learning and its fundamental constituencies: formalization of information, transition to the language of another activity or another language of the same activity (for example, transition from the language of drawings to the technical description language), etc. The author’s algebraic approach for creating a model is considered as the basis for the knowledge-intensive activities in the information environment. We identify the algebraic approach for designing such models as the system of three components: 1) systems of basic models; 2) systems of typical transformation and typical combination models; 3) an approximation mechanism dealt with submission of the required model as the result of applying standard transformations and typical combinations of basic models. The strategy concept definition, interpreted as a mechanism for creating reference models of activity, is viewed as the basis of an activity management system. The most significant type of such models is an activity plan. We recognized that the knowledge-based activity implementation requires specific types of managers with administrative-and-research competencies in the research management sphere alongside with the sphere of activity coordination in the framework of complex multidimensional researches. The knowledge-based activity particularities in the modern information environment are also
