The book intends to make a contribution to new theoretical concepts and knowledge to existing leadership theory. Through in-depth case studies of international corporations that have achieved business innovation, the book aims to provide new leadership theory of practitioners who promote strategic knowledge creation activities to achieve business innovation and new practical insights. The book discusses in detail theoretical concepts and practical knowledge in the leadership interaction among the different management layers (top, middle and lower layers) and among the different layers (formal layer, psychological boundary layer, and informal layer).
Drawing on corporate management leadership theory, this volume outlines a theoretical framework for holistic leadership at all levels and applies it to case studies of Apple, Cisco Systems, Dyson, SoftBank, and Sony. It discusses the importance of strategic knowledge creation where new business innovation across different technologies and industries forms dynamic business ecosystems through co-creation and co-evolution and the role of the formation of business communities and holistic leadership, in which practitioners differentiate and balance their application of centralized, distributed, and dialectical leadership according to circumstances and across the formal and information organization and the psychological boundary. Case studies present the approaches of these companies to new strategic knowledge creation through the formation of business communities and holistic leadership and their use of strategic innovation, strategic collaboration, new product development, corporate innovation, and corporate ventures. -- Annotation ©2017 Ringgold Inc. * (protoview.com) *
