About this book
This book offers interdisciplinary, multicultural, and international perspectives on the interrelation between culture, innovation, change and creative forces. Its wide-ranging contributions present theoretical and empirical approaches and with reference to different domains across disciplines including psychology, education, social sciences, humanities, and engineering. The authors demonstrate how urgent social, environmental, technological, and economic challenges can benefit from individual, and community creativity to effect change.
In this volume, “culture” refers to sociocultural differences, educational culture, media culture, organizational culture, technological culture, ethnic differences within a culture, and digital culture. Its contributors offer fresh insights on how creativity, innovation, and change can propel us forward and offer hope for the future across these many different forms of culture. They offer both granular studies of creativity and innovation atwork in particular contexts and macro-level discussion on how they affect organizational culture, the culture of a discipline and society at large.
This cross-cultural analysis of creativity, innovation and approaches to change will particularly appeal to practitioners and researchers in the fields of psychology, organizational behavior and education.Reviews
“The complex nature of creativity and innovation, and the intimate relationships they hold with culture broadly defined is skilfully exposed in this very insightful and readable collection of chapters. Each contributor presents their contextualised perspective on these issues, nuanced by important social and cultural concepts and scientific learnings that continue to evolveand change over time. This book provides a timely reminder of what creativity means for us as a species and in our complex roles as both local and global citizens.” (Damian P Birney, School of Psychology, University of Sydney, Australia)
