"Creativity and Innovation in Organizational Teams" stemmed from a
conference held at the Kellogg School of Management in June 2003
covering creativity and innovation in groups and organizations.
Each chapter of the book is written by an expert and covers
original theory about creative processes in organizations. The
organization of the text reflects a longstanding notion that
creativity in the world of work is a joint outcome of three
interdependent forces--individual thinking, group processes, and
organizational environment.
Negotiation is the most important skill anyone in the business world can have today, because people must continually negotiate their jobs, responsibilities, and opportunities. Yet very few people know strategies for maximizing their outcomes in everyday and in more formal business situations. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of this emerging topic through original contributions from leaders in social psychology and negotiation research. All topics covered are core to the understanding of the negotiation process and include: decision-making and judgment, emotion and negotiation, motivation, and game theory.
Negotiation is the most important skill anyone in the business
world can have today, because people must continually negotiate
their jobs, responsibilities, and opportunities. Yet, very few
people know strategies for maximizing their outcomes in everyday
and in more formal business situations. People often needlessly
throw away hundreds of thousands of dollars and sour interpersonal
relationships because they do not know how to effectively
negotiate. Negotiation training and research allows opportunity for
managers to assess their negotiation abilities and learn practical
techniques and strategies for improving their ability to negotiate
effectively.

Creativity and Innovation in Organizational Teams stemmed from a conference held at the Kellogg School of Management in June 2003 covering creativity and innovation in groups and organizations. Each chapter of the book is written by an expert and covers original theory about creative processes in organizations. The organization of the text reflects a longstanding notion that creativity in the world of work is a joint outcome of three interdependent forces--individual thinking, group processes, and organizational environment. Part I explores basic cognitive mechanisms that underlie creative thinking, and includes chapters that discuss cognitive foundations of creativity, a cognitive network model of creativity that explains how and why creative solutions form in the human mind, and imports a ground-breaking concept of "creativity templates" to the study of creative idea generation in negotiation context. The second part is devoted to understanding how groups and teams in organizational settings produce creative ideas and implement innovations. Finally, Part III contains three chapters that discuss the role of social, organizational context in which creative endeavors take place. The book has a strong international mix of scholarship and includes clear business implications based on scientific research. It weds the disciplines of psychology, cognition, and business theory into one text.
