A knowledge base has been created through empirical research and resides in scholarly literature. Some knowledge is amenable to direct application by stakeholders who are engaged during or after the research process as shown by the Knowledge to Action KTA model. Other knowledge requires multiple transformations before achieving utility for end users. For example conceptual knowledge generated through science or engineering may become embodied as a technology-based invention through development methods. The invention may then be integrated within an innovative device or service through production methods. To what extent is KT relevant to these transformations How might the KTA model accommodate these additional development and production activities while preserving the KT concepts Discussion Stakeholders adopt and use knowledge that has perceived utility such as a solution to a problem. Achieving a technology-based solution involves three methods that generate knowledge in three states analogous to the three classic states of matter. Research activity generates discoveries that are intangible and highly malleable like a gas development activity transforms discoveries into inventions that are moderately tangible yet still malleable like a liquid and production activity transforms inventions into innovations that are tangible and immutable like a solid. The paper demonstrates how the KTA model can accommodate all three types of activity and address all three states of knowledge. Linking the three activities in one model also illustrates the importance of engaging the relevant .
