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.?
