About the Book

Creativity in general can be defined as an ability or an occurance. Either way, it refers to developing an alternative way of, for example, explaining gravity, writing a symphony, lessoning the problem of poverty or dealing with some other subject. The distinctive aspect of a creative alternative is that it is better on whatever criteria are considered relevant than the alternatives that were previously being considered. A special kind of creativity involves not merely finding a better way of doing things, but of finding a way that exceeds the best initial expectations of whatever sides or viewpoints may have been in contention over how to deal with the problem. That kind of creativity can be referred to as super-optimizing creativity. It does more than find a new, better or best alternative, it finds an alternative that is better than what the previous perspectives had as their best expectation, simultaneously across all those previous perspectives. Focusing on political and policy aspects, this text presents a study of creativity and innovation in a general, technological, business, scientific and artistic context.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Introduction: creativity in general; pushing, facilitating and pulling factors in diverse creativity; a survey of hypotheses concerning innovative and inventive activity; emerging prepositions concerning processes of innovation in organizations. Part 2 Technological creativity: short-run trends in United States patent activity; federal policy and the diffusion of innovations. Part 3 Public policy creativity: generating and facilitating super-optimum solutions; cultivation of creativity. Part 4 Business creativity: decision problem structuring - generating options; techniques of creative thinking for management. Part 5 Artistic creativity: art for art's sake; the art of discovery and the discovery of art. Part 6 Scientific creativity: the creative person in science; getting started in political research.
