This mixed method research collected qualitative data through in-depth interviews, a group discussion, a transferring knowledge framework, a community of practices model, and an after-action review among the researcher and community members.

The research was divided into three areas, which are processing of local herbs, creating new packaging for the dried herbs, and improving community enterprise management. The findings illustrated two main factors for success of knowledge creation framework. The first success factor was the collaboration between the academic sector, the community sector, and the private sector in community. For the second success factor was tapping into the varied knowledge and experiences of different generations combined to develop a better packaging product such as the young contributed to the design using cultural characteristics of their traditional dress colors, using online marketing while the older generation produced the packages using locally sourced material that is bamboo.
