Titelbeschreibung

<div>This book focuses on the core theoretical concept of “Ma thinking” - an idea that serves as springboard for the thoughts and actions of distinguished practitioners, innovators, and researchers. The theoretical and practical importance of the Ma concept in new innovation activities lies in the thinking and activities of the leading practitioners. However, there is little academic research clarifying these characteristic dynamic transition mechanisms and the synthesis of diverse paradoxes through recursive activities between formal and informal organizations to achieve integration of dissimilar knowledge. </div>

Unpublished endorsement

“Japan has a culture of Ma, an intersubjective space where new phenomena or events to emerge. The concept of Ma is manifested in many facets of traditional Japanese arts and beyond. Based on the multidisciplinary approach ranging from business, architecture to the fine arts, this book delves into the dynamics of innovation through the lens of Ma. The practical theory and case studies of Ma in this book provide new insights for knowledge creation in companies and organizations.” (Dr Ikujiro Nonaka, Professor Emeritus, Hitotsubashi University, Japan)
