The transfer and integration of cultural knowledge: aligning strategic, commercial and cultural objectives

About this research

The purpose of this project is to deliver key environmental, economic and cultural knowledge relevant to the Wakatu Incorporation's development generally as well as the development of its products (food and beverage) and its approach to the environmental management of its natural resources. Intern Aneika Young will help ensure the Incorporation identifies, retains and records - and then adapts for application to the Incorporation's work, the cultural knowledge that exists now amongst its owners, but has yet to be captured and analysed for effective use. The supervisor is Kerensa Johnston.
