商品描述

This book examines conceptualizing capability (kōsō-ryoku), the most important ability for thriving in the era of innovation. A new approach, "formative conceptualizing capability," is proposed as the core knowledge methodology for innovation and management, which is is a fundamental human ability that goes beyond the boundaries between cognitive and tangible realities to shape concepts and drive innovation. Traditional studies on imagination in Western philosophy are combined with knowledge creation theory based on Eastern way of thinking. The book argues the capability should be at the core of innovation management, offering insights and principles for navigating the challenges of the present age.

Japan has experienced the world's earliest capitalist setback and is stuck in a prolonged stagnation. The author maintains, however, that what is needed in this coming chaotic era is not only "imagination", as it would be called in English, but also the power of creating kōsō, the Japanese term for "formative concept". The author has a proven track record in research and practice on knowledge creation theory, innovation management, design thinking, and scenario planning. He has reorganized and set forth in this book the perspectives he has proposed under the theme of kōsō-ryoku to present a new methodology of knowledge for living in the twenty-first century.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了在創新時代中,最重要的能力——概念化能力(kōsō-ryoku)。提出了一種新的方法,即「形成性概念化能力」,作為創新和管理的核心知識方法論。這是一種超越認知和有形現實界限的基本人類能力,用於塑造概念並推動創新。將西方哲學中關於想像力的傳統研究與基於東方思維方式的知識創造理論相結合。本書主張,這種能力應該成為創新管理的核心,提供了應對當今時代挑戰的洞察和原則。

日本曾經經歷過世界上最早的資本主義挫折,並陷入長期停滯。然而,作者認為,在即將到來的混亂時代中,需要的不僅僅是英文中所稱的「想像力」,還需要創造「形成性概念」的能力(日語稱為kōsō)。作者在知識創造理論、創新管理、設計思維和情景規劃方面具有豐富的研究和實踐經驗。他在本書中重新組織和提出了他在kōsō-ryoku主題下提出的觀點,呈現了一種適應21世紀生活的新知識方法論。
