Von der hinteren Coverseite

In the past 20 years, research, theory and practice have focused on the need to improve creativity and innovation in organizations. An IBM survey of 1500 CEOs worldwide listed creativity as one of the most important skills for managers and leaders of organizations. More recently, the World Economic Forum listed creativity, as well as related aspects such as critical thinking and complex problem-solving, as the most important skills needed for the 21st century. This second edition of Handbook of Organizational Creativity updates coverage from recent research and adds topics not previously addressed. The size of the work with the new material meant that we broke this into two volumes: one on individual- and group-level influences and the other on leadership, interventions, and macro-level issues. The volume on Leadership, Interventions, and Macro Level Issues expands coverage of leadership to a full section. Coverage includes different types and approaches to leadership such as transformational leadership, ambidextrous leadership, leader-follower relations, and inclusive leadership. This is followed by organizational-level influences such as organizational structure, cultural and cross-cultural issues, and organizational factors influencing learning and change. A new chapter on gig and temporary workers is included here. A final section on organizational interventions and field demands includes chapters examining rewards, training, employee selection, performance management, and organizational development. New chapters here include artificial intelligence, technology, design thinking, and job requirements for creativity. The section on fields examines creative work in marketing, engineering, the arts, science, and medicine. The volume provides an authoritative compendium on creativity in organizations, focusing on summarizing current and cutting-edge research, while also providing and setting the agenda for the future research in this area.
