People tend to think of creativity and strategy as opposites. This book argues that they are far more similar than we might expect.

By considering strategy as a creative process (and vice versa), the authors define ‘creative strategy’ as a mindset which switches between opposing processes and characteristics, and which drives every aspect of the business. The authors draw experiences and cas

This centennial edition of E. E. Cumming’s Complete Poems, published in celebration of his birth on October 14, 1894, contains all of the poems published or designated for publication by the poet in his lifetime. At the time of his death in 1962, E. E. Cummings was, next to Robert Frost, the most widely read poet in America.

He is recognized on the

This research monograph empirically examines the attitudes of managers and managerial students in Australia, China and Indonesia toward the perceived ’prominence’ and ’salience’ of selected organisational stakeholders, and their subsequent ’class’. This study develops a ’positive’ approach to stakeholder theory by exploring how political, social and economic factors in each of the three countries are likely to shape managerial attitudes towards stakeholder prominence. Australia, China and Indonesia are selected for examination because of their un
