Creativity and Strategy - Walia, Chetan

. .

Résumé :
This book provides an integrative analysis of creativity and strategic practices, particularly strategic problem formulation and strategic decision making. It examines the decision and not the individual as a unit of analysis, which leads to a deeper understanding of creative outcomes. It draws a correlation between strategic intent and creative outcomes, both positive and negative, and provides an integrated framework for understanding creativity. Finally, the book develops a creative strategic framework and draws conclusions for the practice of management and for future research.
