Dr. Cherman's research pursues three lines of study that may contribute to bringing a contemporary and innovative approach to the organizational knowledge field: i) Integrative Knowledge in Organizations, analyzing the dynamics of innovative knowledge creation in a scenario that science and spirituality can experience synergistic effects impacting innovation, strategy and corporate cultures in organizations; ii) Spirituality in Knowledge Development, examining the major benefits of incorporating into organizational structures a more spiritual mindset, thus contributing to a more comprehensive, evolutionary and integrative knowledge framework for individuals, organizations, and society; iii) Ethics in Knowledge-Based Organizations, dealing with complex and consciousness-related ethical boundaries that involve the individuals' wellbeing in their workplace, collectively aspiring for a more spiritual, humanistic and egalitarian society.

Dr. Cherman’s research line, named Integrative Knowledge in Organizations, in which she proposes an Integrative Knowledge Model that incorporates a new Spiritual Dimension of wisdom and awareness into the already well-known Rational Dimension of data and information. Her research unfolds in two narrower fields of associated study lines: i) Spirituality in Knowledge Development, examining the major benefits of incorporating into organizational structures a more spiritual mindset, thus contributing to a more comprehensive, evolutionary and integrative knowledge framework for individuals, organizations, and society, and ii) Ethics in Knowledge-Based Organizations, dealing with complex and consciousness-related ethical boundaries that involve the individuals’ well-being in their workplace, collectively aspiring for a more spiritual, inclusive, fairer, and egalitarian society.
