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.
