'This outstanding Handbook brings together leading scholars who
show us, across different levels of analysis and methodological
approaches, how creativity and innovation relate to topics as
diverse as leadership, social networks, and loneliness. The
intersection of different research trajectories is woven
throughout. The book is structured to provide foundations for
understanding existing research, social contexts in which
creativity and innovation occur, and directions for future work.
This volume captures the current universe of leading ideas
concerning a vital research area.'
