In recognition of Professor Ikujiro Nonaka's contribution to the
field of Knowledge Management this book, forming part of The Nonaka

In recognition of Professor Ikujiro Nonaka's contribution to the
field of Knowledge Management this book, forming part of "The
Nonaka Series on Knowledge and Innovation" from Palgrave Macmillan,
deals with a variety of aspects of the Knowledge Management (KM)
theory and the knowledge-based view of the firm.
Through the apparent heterogeneity of interests and approaches to
the subject matter, a common thread goes through Professor Nonaka's
important contributions to the field through the foundation of a
School of Knowledge Approach in management.
By engaging in discussion and criticism, and by building upon
Nonaka's insight and pioneering thinking, the contributions of this
book shed light on a number of knowledge and innovation-related key
facets. In doing so, the contributors provide a review of the
current state of the KM theory and take stock of its major
strengths and shortcomings. They also explore new research ventures
in the field and suggest critical issues for further thinking.
'Navigating paradigm changes is a critical element of business
leadership: analog to digital; brand to retailer to consumer;
reason to emotion; West to East. Anything that illuminates these
powershifts is valuable for the fast-moving decision-maker, and in
this respect Asian versus Western Management Thinking is a
first-rate inquiry into cultural business behaviors. Insular
frameworks of thinking and action matter less by the second. I'm an
And/And practitioner and my experience of bridging business between
East and West, and vice versa, suggests we need to know the human
distinctions that matter and the harmonies that will matter even
more. Between the covers of this book by Kimio Kase and colleagues,
business moves forward.' Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide, Saatchi
& Saatchi, Lovemarks Company 'Having lived and worked my entire
life in various countries around the world, I agree with the
authors' premise that Asians and Westerners often approach business
problems from different angles. Rather than focusing on
differences, I welcome the strength that comes from diversity. As
my experience at Renault and Nissan has demonstrated, the richest
solutions come when ideas are challenged or questioned by people
who have a different perspective. This book illustrates the value
of accepting diverging ideas as a fact of life that can be used to
enhance the world in which we all live and work.' Carlos Ghosn,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Renault-Nissan Alliance 'A
most welcome addition to the unbalanced management literature about
the 'analytical' West and the 'synthetic' East. For too long the
field has been dominated by comparisons of cultural value systems
which paradoxically tell us precious little about how habits of
mind influence management thinking and practice in different parts
of the world over time. At a time when the world's economic centre
of gravity is visibly shifting to Asia, this really is a most
timely book.' Nigel Holden, Visiting Research Fellow at the Centre
for International Business at the University of Leeds, UK

This book analyzes rapidly-growing world-class Spanish retail
banks. It argues that their success is due to excellent management,
clear-headed CEOs, the presence of a cluster of like-minded
executives who complement each other and create a homogenous
strategy pattern, and that IT systems and the regulatory
environment have contributed greatly.

This book offers a meditation on the links between philosophy and
its implementation, interpreting why and how a leader's
"philosophy" strengthens his action predicated on the purposeful
vision of life; and discusses the a hypothesis that performance
control in management may be driven by transcendental and intrinsic
motivations, contrasting with the traditional management control
theory. It construes how Inamori's management philosophy
disciplines accounting and finance management towards putting its
basic tenets into practice. Examining, in particular, the history
of Kyocera, the authors provide a contemplative look at a human
centric philosophy, which will be of interest to scholars of
management, corporate executives, and economists with a
philosophical bent.
Transformational CEOs questions why some Japanese firms succeeded
in the 1990s despite an economy that failed - regardless of the
burst of the 'bubble' economy, a number of Japanese companies have
maintained or extended their international leadership in particular
sectors. The authors argue that whilst some of the reasons for
successes are plain common sense - operational effectiveness and
superior CEO leadership - some are Japan-specific and point to a
break with traditional leadership rationale. Presenting four
in-depth case studies, the book shows that newly appointed foreign
managers and overseas trained Japanese managers have been
instrumental in the success of these corporations and have
re-written the rulebook on Japanese management. The behaviour
patterns and cognitive processes of successful CEOs in Japanese
companies - Nissan and Sony being the most well-known - are
examined. From these studies, two different but equally successful
leadership approaches have emerged: the Proto-Image of the Firm
(PIF) and Profit-Arithmetic (PA). The first involves supporting a
business decision by comparing business proposals with the CEO's
image of the firm, whilst the second focuses on processing data and
information through a mental model that enables identification of
profit levers. Providing lessons in leadership, and concluding that
transformational leadership requires a choice between two types of
mindset (PIF and PA), this book will be invaluable to academics,
business consultants, managers and executives with an interest in
strategic management and leadership. Scholars of Asian studies will
also find the book to be a fascinating read.
The sports business has become one of the fastest-growing
industries in recent years. Sports organizations now have the
potential to generate massive amounts of revenue through a variety
of different channels, including broadcasting rights, advertising
and branding. However, the rise of sports-related business has so
far received relatively little attention from management scholars
and social scientists. This book argues that we can no longer
afford to ignore this important economic and social phenomenon. It
presents a conceptual framework based on the concept of value
creation to show how we can understand and explain the success and
failure of sports organizations. Key concepts are illustrated with
case studies of sporting organizations, including Real Madrid, FC
Barcelona and the Americas Cup. Written by a team of authors from
one of Spain's leading business schools, it provides a unique set
of theoretical and practical insights for researchers and sports
organization managers.
