商品描述
The Unexpected Game challenges the managerial illusion that uncertainty can be fully controlled. Instead, it demonstrates how organizations actively shape their relationship with the unexpected. By introducing the concepts of serendipity (turning surprises into opportunities), zemblanity (drifting into predictable failure), and bahramdipity (suppressing novel ideas under hierarchy), the book offers a fresh lens on how managerial action influences outcomes under uncertainty--at both individual and organizational levels. Blending theory, empirical cases, and practical diagnostic tools, it provides a framework for engaging with uncertainty more deliberately. Written for scholars, managers, and entrepreneurs, the book encourages a shift from attempting to eliminate uncertainty to learning how to navigate it wisely.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《意外的遊戲》挑戰了管理者對不確定性可以完全控制的錯誤觀念。相反，它展示了組織如何主動塑造與意外事件的關係。通過引入意外之喜（將驚喜轉化為機會）、可預見的失敗（zemblanity，漂流進可預測的失敗）和壓抑新穎想法的層級結構（bahramdipity），本書提供了一個全新的視角，探討管理行動如何在不確定性下影響結果——無論是在個人還是組織層面。結合理論、實證案例和實用的診斷工具，它提供了一個更有意識地應對不確定性的框架。本書旨在為學者、管理者和企業家而寫，鼓勵人們從試圖消除不確定性轉向學習如何明智地應對不確定性。
