About this book
This book, by one of world’s most innovative business scholars and a pioneering philosopher of Edmund Husserl, creatively applies insights from neuroscience, philosophy of experience called “phenomenology” to highly successful and intuitive method of business management. Based on phenomenological insights, they argue that empathy and intuition are as central, if not more, to the success of business innovation or strategy as an objective and analytic approach to business thinking and practice. To clarify how intuition works and why it is so essential, this book delves into the mechanism of empathy and human consciousness and how to take advantage of it for business practice. By incorporating new understandings from neuroscience and AI research, they proposes an organizational structure and a way of strategizing to embrace human innovation in its full complexity to lead business scholars, managers, and entrepreneurs to their own success in business.

“The three key management practices and tools -management by philosophy,
purpose-driven management and massive transformation goals- become all
significant when people actually practice management inthe real world.”
