Knowledge is commonly socially constructed, through collaborative efforts towards shared objectives or by dialogues and challenges brought about by different persons' perspectives.

Hoffman, Susan C. and Hoffman, Mark S. (1987): Implementation of a Shared Human Factors Support Program between Academia and Industry. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 285-288.

Human factors research programs within commercial industries are frequently avoided because of escalating costs associated with data collection and reduction. Other prohibiting factors limiting the use of traditional research methods in industry are manpower costs, accounting procedures for overhead allocation, and the availability of qualified personnel. The department of computer and Electrical Engineering Technology at Kent State University, Tuscarawas Campus has developed a program for supporting projects from the NCR Human Factors Department of the Retail Systems Division. This program has provided students an opportunity to (1) acquire new skills rarely experienced in classroom assignments; (2) obtain financial assistance, and (3) obtain exposure to potential employers. This program began as a pilot and has continued to grow because of the demand in retail businesses for the work supported by the students.
