The contributors to this textbook represent a broad spectrum of perspectives from among the most distinguished names in the field. They give a clear overview of the topics discussed whilst explaining their practical implications.
This textbook is published as a Course Reader for The Open University Course Creativity, Innovation and Change (B822).
Especially the articles "A Systems Perspective on Creativity" and "Beyond Sense-making: Emotion, Imagery and Creativity" are especially good and is highly recommended for my students. The whole book is not essential for the class, since in not covering core elements of the learning goals for the class.
Great piece of work, some interested articles exploring this subject from a variety of perspectives
The book presents a number of very interesting articles by reputable researchers in the field. Its a must for any student undertaking studies in creativity.
Whilst still using key text to illustrate fundemental concepts of innovation and creativty this text also develops the themes of empowerment and organisation culture.
