Abstract: The renaming of Information Resources Management(IRM) as a first-level discipline marks a new stage of theoretical restructuring and independent system building. In recent years, regarding the construction of an independent knowledge system for China's IRM discipline, stage-specific achievements have been made in the systematic integration spanning from the global knowledge ecosystem, the distillation of Chinese wisdom, the transformation of international narratives, and discourse operation mechanisms, to the evaluation of international communication efficacy. This study examines the opportunities and challenges facing the construction of China's independent knowledge system in IRM from the perspective of global knowledge ecology and disciplinary competition. It discusses narrative reconstruction in international dialogue, analyzes the dynamic mechanisms through which the knowledge system moves from internal construction to external communication, and proposes a multidimensional analytical framework for evaluating international promotion effectiveness. On this basis, this study develops an interpretive framework consisting of "global ecological scanning and China's positioning—expression dilemmas and narrative reconstruction—discourse mechanism construction—evaluation of international promotion effectiveness" . The study aims to promote the discipline's shift from accumulated experience to systematic construction and from passive interpretation to active expression.

Key words: Information resources management, Independent knowledge system, Chinese wisdom, Discourse construction, International communication, Systematic framework
