Professors Nonaka and Takeuchi have taught the world much about managing knowledge. In The Wise Company, they go further, teaching us how to grow our knowledge into wisdom. Every manager will learn from this book, for their job, their organization, and indeed, their own life and well-being. -- Henry Chesbrough, Professor, U.C. Berkeley-Haas School of Business Nonaka and Takeuchi have created a tour de force book of value to CEOs, leaders at all levels, and students aspiring to be world class leaders in a world driven by winners who continuously innovate by creating valuable new knowledge and putting it to practice. Both authors are established world-class academics, but equally as important they are hands-on clinicians who have worked globally with real clients, making real change happen. This book is well-written, engaging, and an important theoretical and practical guide on how to make the world a better place. -- Noel Tichy, Professor at the University of Michigan, and author of Control Your Destiny or Someone Else Will and Succession: Mastering the Make-Or-Break Process of Leadership Transition Nonaka & Takeuchi-both alchemists of innovation management who provide ageless pearls of wisdom-describe how new methods of managing and leading business enterprises require wise leaders, at all levels of the organization. A tour de force with insights, delights, and powerful narratives featuring some of the world's top business leaders and innovators, in Japan and the USA. An evolutionary sequel to the authors' earlier work on the knowledge creating company. -- David J. Teece, Tusher Professor, Haas School, U.C. Berkeley
