ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the data from a broader doctoral study in order to explore the concept of mainstream and marginal knowledge spaces. The Wordle provides a baseline picture, like a litmus test, to initiate the further and deeper qualitative explanations from the participants. The research method was an ethnographic, qualitative case study, exploring the research problem of how research teams manage their knowledge and builds their capacity, and deployed multiple data-gathering phases to analyse the team's knowledge management practices and capacity-building outcomes. The data presented in the chapter relates the phase two development of a diagnostic Wordle knowledge map for each of the case study participants and for the overall team. The chapter concludes that the dynamic spaces of the margins as they intersect with the mainstream spaces can deliver insights and productivity, and that conducting research to assist understanding of this interaction and evolution helps to build knowledge management capacity.
