Comparative case studies and new implications

Mitsuru Kodama

pp. 229-263

Through comparative analyses of a number of in-depth case studies in different specialized areas (business and management, art and architecture) discussed in this book, the present chapter offers further new theoretical implications while verifying propositions and hypotheses discussed in Chap.  2, The Five Types of Ma Thinking and Five Architect Capabilities: Theoretical Concepts. In so doing, the discussion points to the importance of "dynamic recursive practice activities between formal and informal organizations' and "the realization of a complex adaptive system through Ma thinking" for realizing innovation and achieving notable success in creative activities.
