In the imagination age, organizations need to harness the power of creativity and innovation in order to survive and thrive. Grounded in academic and applied research, this book offers invaluable insights into these concepts from an interdisciplinary perspective. Through compelling narratives, the author critically discusses the theories and models that will empower the thinking of researchers, entrepreneurs and leaders. Revealing how the fourth industrial revolution can put our creative minds into play with enormous opportunities to solve problems and make meaning, the book invites us to debate how human and emerging technologies will write the next chapter of human history. It covers philosophical approaches to creativity, the characteristics of creative teams, the components of individual creativity as well as the role of imagination and associative thinking in fostering creativity and innovation.
