The notion of serendipity is not new to business thinking. Everyone  
knows how important unexpected encounters and knowledge exchange are  
for innovation. What is new is actually building a business – a  
machine – that systematically facilitates serendipity. This book  
presents a disruptive business model that is able to achieve exactly  
that. It reveals the principles behind the business model, giving  
companies and organisations the opportunity to become serendipity  
machines themselves.
