Discussions explored such themes as individual innovation, creativity and teamwork, structuring the organization for innovation, and the relation of innovation to culture and technology. This book, which offers papers based on many of the best Creativity Week presentations, is thus a record of recent thinking, both practical and theoretical, on how organizational effectiveness can be improved.Creative ability in businessCongressesCreative thinkingCongressesOrganizational changeCongressesOrganizational behaviorCongressesCreative ability in businessCreative thinkingOrganizational changeOrganizational behaviorGryskiewicz Stanley S906702Hills David A(David Allen),1931-974257Center for Creative Leadership.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910667031303321Readings in innovation2217974UNINA
