ABSTRACT

Few studies have investigated convergence innovation, which has little discovered and proposed new theories or hypotheses. This situation motivated the authors to further explore the issue in this book and understand the process of convergence in order to efficiently manage and utilize its outcome for human beings or organizations. Throughout this book, it is pointed out that important elements of the convergence process are learning, networks and communications, and to manage them well is crucial in creating convergence innovation. Convergence processes need to be strategically managed not only at the firm level but also at the meso and the country levels.
