Driving Congruence in Capabilities

Mitsuru Kodama, Professor of Innovation and Technology Management, College of Commerce and Graduate School of Business Administration, Nihon University at Tokyo, Japan

From detailed reviews of existing dynamic capabilities, this book presents a theoretical model of a strategic innovation system as a corporate system capability to enable a large company to achieve strategic innovation. The book includes in-depth case studies to illustrate the importance of strategic innovation capabilities.

‘This book examines dynamic capabilities from both theoretical and empirical perspectives and elaborates the practical application of the theory while retaining academic rigor at the same time. Professor Mitsuru Kodama does not just reside in business academia but practices business himself in the high-tech field. His original approach to the theorization of strategic innovation is highlighted in his new, thought-provoking framework. This book is full of practical and theoretical insights not only for students of management theory and practitioners but also researchers and scholars.’
