商品描述

In Six Memos for the Next Millennium, Italo Calvino elaborated on six concepts or memos to offer insights on the 'shapes of things to come', which were lightness, rapidity, exactness, visibility, multiplicity and consistency. To do so, the Italian writer embraced an interdisciplinary approach to describe each concept through juxtaposition of its antonyms, heaviness, slowness, indeterminacy, invisibility, uniqueness, and inconsistency. Inspired by Calvino's intuition, this book puts forward the notion of the 'Calvino Method' to interpret the inner dynamics of innovation processes. Drawing on literature and cases from the fields of innovation, history of technology, organisation theory and corporate strategy, the book elaborates on each of the six concepts to offer a unique angle to understand innovation as technological, organisational and cultural change that generates value across a variety of domains.

The linguistic juxtapositions at the root of the CalvinoMethod forms the framework of The Grammar of Innovation and the tension between opposites, which at first seems insoluble, emerges as the catalyst of future thought. This book will be of great interest to scholars of innovation, strategy, organisation studies, philosophy of business, and all those with an interest in the works of Italo Calvino.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

在《千禧年的六封備忘錄》中,意大利作家伊塔洛·卡爾維諾闡述了六個概念或備忘錄,以提供對「未來事物形狀」的見解,這六個概念分別是輕盈、迅速、精確、可見性、多樣性和一致性。為了達成這個目的,這位意大利作家採取了跨學科的方法,通過對比其反義詞——沉重、緩慢、不確定性、不可見性、獨特性和不一致性,來描述每個概念。受到卡爾維諾直覺的啟發,本書提出了「卡爾維諾方法」的概念,以解釋創新過程的內在動力。該書借鑒了創新、技術歷史、組織理論和企業策略等領域的文獻和案例,詳細闡述了這六個概念,提供了一個獨特的視角來理解創新作為技術、組織和文化變革,並在多個領域中創造價值。

卡爾維諾方法根源的語言對比形成了《創新的語法》的框架,而對立之間的緊張關係,起初似乎無法解決,卻成為未來思考的催化劑。本書將對創新、策略、組織研究、商業哲學的學者以及所有對伊塔洛·卡爾維諾作品感興趣的人士產生極大的吸引力。
