Toward a Strategic Community-Based Firm

Abstract

This section discusses a new, practical viewpoint that was exhibited during the process of radical change within DoCoMo, as discussed in Chapter 3 and NTT in Chapter 4. Future research themes include whether or not the practical aspect of discontinuous transformation of these cases can be applied to other large corporations. It goes without saying that the actual discontinuous transformation method used by a specific large corporation depends on the environment, business type or form, and the existing organizational culture, as well as the value systems exhibited by top management, the leadership style, and so on. Based on the new perspectives obtained from the case studies, the following points are noteworthy in terms of the impact of innovation at other large companies as well.
