Abstract: AbstractWe propose the Fundamental Illusion Theory to explain knowledge creation in the case of Japanese companies. This theory is based on an analogy with a hearing illusion which explains that when two tones occur together a third lower pitched tone is heard. However, this last perceived pitch is a frequency (fundamental) for which there is no actual source vibration. If we make an analogy between fundamental frequency and knowledge, and between tones occurring together and learning + culture + leadership, we arrive at a new management model.
