Encyclopedia of creativity, invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship [electronic resource] / Elias G. Carayannis.

The 'Encyclopedia of Creativity, Invention, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship' (CI2E) is a four-volume reference that will uniquely cover the broad spectrum of topics relating to the process of creativity and innovation, from a wide variety of perspectives (e.g., economics, management, psychology, anthropology, policy, technology, education, the arts) and modes (individual, organization, industry, nation, region). The project will be comprised of some 300 topical entries, definitions of key terms and concepts, and 12-20 "keynote" or review essays, from a global array of researchers, business executives, policymakers, and artists, illuminating the many facets of creativity and innovation, and highlighting their relationships to such universal concepts as knowledge management, economic opportunity, and sustainability.
