We would like to thank John Robertson, the former ASSA research director, for his contributions to the early stages of the project. The project also benefi ted enormously from the ideas and discussion during the ASSA symposium “Fostering Creativity and Innova- tion” that we organised in Canberra in November 2008. The symposium pointed us to other disciplines with a stake and an interest in creativity and innovation, highlighted the relevance of these ideas for higher education and other policies and reminded us that social science should be concerned with sometimes negative disruptive impacts of innovations. We would also like to thank Laura Stearns, the commissioning editor of Routledge, for recognising the signifi cance and distinctiveness of our col- lection. The production of this book benefi ted from the valuable assistance of Stacy Noto and Roanna Gonsalves. Their work is greatly appreciated. Preface The title of this book, Creativity and Innovation in Business and Beyond, indicates the scope of this volume: creativity and innovation can be found in every area of human enterprise—in art and design, music and literature, science and technology, research and development. They can benefi t every aspect of human organisation: from medicine and health, to education and training, security and safety, housing and transport, information and communication, commerce and trade, recreation and entertainment. The capacity for creativity and innovation has enabled us to evolve, adapt and survive as humans. It has underpinned our march toward civilisation, from harnessing fi re, to shaping the fi rst tools, to inventing the wheel, to orga- nising for hunting, to constructing canoes and rafts, to making glass, to farming and harvesting. It has also underpinned modes of expression and communication from the very beginnings in rock carving and cave paint- ing, to making and decorating vessels, to ceremony and dance, to writing and record keeping, to the printing press and beyond. Yet the drivers of cre- ativity and innovation are not well understood and historically have been researched as separate topics. This book is a fi rst attempt to examine the relationship between the two processes. The subtitle Social Science Perspectives and Policy Implications refl ects the distinctiveness of this volume in bringing together the insights of a group of internationally renowned social scientists from a diverse range of disciplines. Disciplines such as psychology, sociol- ogy, education, cultural anthropology and social history have had a long history of studying creativity as a human process and achieve- ment, while disciplines such as economics, including the sub-disciplines of economic geography and economic history, law and management, have made signifi cant contributions to the understanding of innovation in organisational and technological advancement. Together these dis- ciplines provide a range of perspectives on the meanings, sources and drivers of creativity and innovation. They invite readers to think about the connection between creativity and innovation, and suggest how gov- ernments and organisations can provide the most favourable environ- ment to engender a culture of creativity and innovation. xviii Preface Research and writing are themselves creative endeavours. We are delighted to have been part of a challenging research and writing project with an outstanding team of scholars to bring together some key ideas and questions
