Reviews

'This outstanding Handbook brings together leading scholars who show us, across different levels of analysis and methodological approaches, how creativity and innovation relate to topics as diverse as leadership, social networks, and loneliness. The intersection of different research trajectories is woven throughout. The book is structured to provide foundations for understanding existing research, social contexts in which creativity and innovation occur, and directions for future work. This volume captures the current universe of leading ideas concerning a vital research area.' -- Martin Kilduff, University College London, UK
