%X The reflection is framed in the scenario identified in the essay ¡°The new production of knowledge¡± (Gibbons et al., 1994) where the traditional way of knowledge construction, typical of the classical scientific research, is discussed (Mode1). In the same essay a new construction model, called ¡°Mode2¡±, is proposed and it underlines the interactive and socially distributed aspect of the research proposing a transdisciplinary approach. The author¡¯s reflection goes beyond this vision and proposes a further perspective called ¡°Mode3¡±. The author offers the state of the art of this new perspective from a theoretical, methodological and practical point of view. The word ¡°Mode3¡± is currently at the centre of an interdisciplinary research and it¡¯s used for different objectives. The author in its international and interdisciplinary overview deepens, on one side, the ¡°Mode3¡± perspective in the Philosophy of Knowledge and in higher education, and on the other side, he widens the ¡°Mode3¡± dimension in the fi eld of management
