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《未來千禧年的六個筆記》中，伊塔洛·卡爾維諾闡述了六個概念或筆記，以提供對未來事物的洞察，這些概念包括輕盈、迅速、精確、可見、多樣性和一致性。為了達到這個目的，這位意大利作家採用了跨學科的方法，通過對比每個概念的反義詞，如沉重、緩慢、不確定、看不見、獨特和不一致，來描述每個概念。受卡爾維諾的直覺啟發，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。本書借鑒了創新、技術史、組織理論和企業戰略等領域的文學和案例，詳細闡述了每個概念，提供了一個獨特的角度來理解創新作為技術、組織和文化變革，在各個領域產生價值。

卡爾維諾方法的語言對比形成了《創新的語法》的框架，對立面之間的張力，起初似乎是無法解決的，卻成為未來思想的催化劑。本書對創新、戰略、組織研究、商業哲學以及對伊塔洛·卡爾維諾作品感興趣的人都具有很大的吸引力。
