Overview'Encouraging Innovation: Cognition, Education, and Implementation' is of interest to people who desire to become more innovative in their daily lives and careers. Part I discusses the cognitive and social skills required for innovation – reasoning, problem solving, creativity, group decision making, and collaborative problem solving. The second part discusses education – the development of cognitive skills and talent, application of relevant learning theories, methods and curricula for enhancing creativity, creativity across disciplines, and design education. Part III discusses the implementation of these skills in society – the transition from theory to practice, business innovation, social innovation, and organizational support. Whereas business innovation is related to commercialization, market demands, and profitability, social innovation addresses fulfilling social needs and public demands. Organizational support for innovation occurs at international, national, agency, and regional levels. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Stephen K.
