Description

Creativity, innovation and change are vital to the development and sustainability of all organizations.

Yet, questions remain about exactly how novelty comes about, and what dynamic processes are involved in its emergence?Ideas of emergence and process, drawn from a variety of different philosophic traditions, have been the focus of increasing attention in management and organization studies.

These issues are brought to bear on novelty and innovation in this volume by examining new organizational and product development processes, whether planned or unplanned. The contributions in this volume offer both theoretical insights and empirical studies on, inter alia, innovation, music technology, haute cuisine, pharmaceuticals and theatre improvisation.

In doing so, they throw light on the importance of emergence, improvisation and learning in organizations, and how both practitioners and scholars alike can best understand their own assumptions about process.

In addition, the volume includes general essays on process perspectives in organizationstudies.
