Innovation and Change in Organizations (Essential Business Psychology)

A practical guide for managers on the important areas of creativity, innovation and the impact of organizational change. Starting by putting change into perspective, and asking the manager important questions such as "can we manage change and innovation", the study goes on to discuss: the origins of creativity; group approaches to innovation; managing innovative teams; and change in organizations. The insights brought to bear from occupational psychology on current organizational practices in innovation and change have implications on today's managers. The book should be useful for trainers and consultants in personnel and human resource management, as well as managers and students of management.
