| Summary: | Wake Forest Universitys implementation of entrepreneurship theory and action beyond and despite disciplinary borders provides a richly networked context to foment the discussions. The provocative essays in this collection will cast a new a set of tools to make us sing and help us thrive. Carol Strohecker, UNC School of the Arts, Winston-Salem State University and the Center for for Design Innovation, USThis is a timely book that establishes the imperative for advancing creativity and entrepreneurship in the 21st century, not just for economic development, but more importantly, for social and moral growth.

Disciplinary immigrants : strategies in creative process and practice -- pt. III. Public engagement and the duty of imagination With a clarion call for better research and more sophisticated theories, Creativity and Entrepreneurship suggests we might be able to make radical changes in some of our most crucial public arenas education, medicine, politics and more. Steven J. Tepper, Vanderbilt University, USWhile creativity and entrepreneurship may appear to be unlikely allies, they are increasingly intersecting to produce economic and social value in new and exciting ways. This groundbreaking volume examines how creativity and entrepreneurship can be used in conjunction to foster positive change and innovation, particularly in areas such as higher education and ... |
