Following on from its highly sucessful predecessor, the new edition of Creative Management further explores the roots of creative perception at work, in the context of rapidly changing technologies and new opportunities for knowledge management.

The readings present distinguished international contributors who collectively represent a new approach to management. Jane Henry brings these eminent authors together to introduce to the reader essential works on cognition, creativity, style, learning, development and sustainability – all written at an accessible and engaging level.

Creative Management 2nd Edition has a distinctly international flavour. Whilst giving a clear conceptual overview and perspective for the topics discussed, it also makes clear their practical implications. It will be widely adopted on management courses, and is particularly relevant to courses on creative management, innovation, knowledge management, organizaqtional behaviour, and organizational and business psychology courses.

School literature in a second edition? In reality, it is a whole new book that only has the title, editor and one article in common with the first edition! This edition is more geared towards the MBA students at OUBS than to an average reader. Be warned, even though Dr. Henry is good at picking articles, it is hard to make sense of the whole if you don't have an OUBS backgrund.

Read it as a complement to the first edition.
