"Organizational effectiveness in the 21st Century depends on innovation. Although innovation has taken on a new importance for organizations, research on innovation and its basis in creativity has received less attention. Thus Zhou and Shalley's Handbook of Creativity in Organizations is an important contribution. This book not only summarizes much of what we know about creativity it examines the variables that are the critical forces shaping creativity in organizational settings. Not only are variables influencing creativity at multiple levels, individual, group, organizational, and environmental, examined, the methods underlying this research are examined. This handbook should prove of substantial value to both those interested in studying creativity in organizations and those interested in enhancing creativity in organizational settings." - Michael Mumford, Center for Applied Social Research, The University of Oklahoma, USA"Creativity is one of those topics that never goes out of style. Zhou and Shalley are two of the premier experts on creativity in the organizational sciences, and together they have assembled a real tour de force of contributors. Creativity is a topic that spans social science displines, each with their attendant methods and approaches. Zhou and Shalley have done a wonderful job of including scholars who draw from these diverse disciplines, including psychology and sociology, and those who employ both quantative and qualitative approaches to study creativity. Another noteworthy, and unusual, feature of the chapters in the book is that they speak to both the theoretical and applied aspects of creativity. I highly recommend this book." - Timothy A. Judge, University of Florida, USA
