Abstract

In this paper, we argue that it is necessary to have a philosophical understanding of the concept of newness if we are to make sense of a wide range of organisational phenomena. Drawing chiefly on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, we argue that newness, as a quality, is rooted in our knowledge of the world. This knowledge is part of a structure of names of all things in the world – the part that is of consequence to our existence. Newness exists as long as a name is outside this part of the structure.
