Abstract
As the title suggests, this chapter introduces the reader to the exciting
journey this book is about to embark on by outlining how this volume
contributes to the existent knowledge on value creation and capture. It
describes important gaps that exist in the knowledge of value and
deficiencies the commonly and widely employed methods of analysis
and reasoning experience. Collectively, these gaps and deficiencies
point to the need to adopt systems science and methodology as the next
best tool for analyzing situations of value and for developing a cohesive
theory of value. After all these objectives are accomplished, this chapter
turns its attention to briefly introduce some of the fundamentals of
systems thinking and relevant methodologies needed for the rest of this
volume.
This chapter is organized as follows. Section 1.1 details the gaps in the
literature this book attempts to fill. Section 1.2 analyzes the deficiencies
that exist with the methods and approaches of reasoning widely used in
the literature. Section 1.3 demonstrates why systems thinking and
methodology are needed in the study of value creation and capture.
And then this chapter concludes in Sect. 1.4 that outlines the contents
of the book.
1.1 Gaps in Literature this Book Attempts to Fill
The subsections detail the gaps in literature this book attempts to fill by
developing a general theory of value creation and capture based on a
set of rigorously developed game-theoretic results.
