Play. Learn. Innovate.

"The chosen approach allows HS to move into truly original themes and conclusions. In an argument for the importance of social dynamics as key for innovation he elegantly moves beyond the established norms in innovation literature. HS skillfully manages to avoid a dogmatic critique of existing literature, and instead points to the need for diverse and complementary approaches and the need to combine them through more comprehensive and multi-faceted frameworks. In the work the author demonstrates a comprehensive insight into theories of play and games, and also contributes to knowledge by proposing a linking of different discourses that each in their way deal with social dynamics, e.g. institutional theory, social capital theory and the theory of complex responsive processes of relating."
