Rezensionen

"This excellent volume offers a much-needed multi-level perspective on creativity and innovation at work. Coverage ranges from individual level processes, abilities, and personality, to team climate and processes, to firm-level strategy, planning, structure, and capabilities. The volume examines a wide variety of topics yet is coherent in its emphasis on the importance of the broader context in which creative action and innovation takes place, and the dynamic processes that make creativity and innovation possible and successful. Together, the chapters provide an insightful and timely summary and integration of this rich literature. Highly recommended for scholars and professionals who wish to gain more insight into these important 21st century skills." - Bernard A. Nijstad, Professor of Organizational Behavior, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
