Summary This book offers interdisciplinary, multicultural, and international perspectives on the interrelation between culture, innovation, change and creative forces. Its wide-ranging contributions present theoretical and empirical approaches with reference to different domains across disciplines including psychology, education, social sciences, humanities, and engineering. The authors demonstrate how urgent social, environmental, technological, and economic challenges can benefit from individual and community creativity to effect change. In this volume, culture refers to sociocultural differences, educational culture, media culture, organizational culture, technological culture, ethnic differences within a culture, and digital culture. Its contributors offer fresh insights on how creativity, innovation, and change can propel us forward and offer hope for the future across these many different forms of culture. They offer both granular studies of creativity and innovation at work in particular contexts and macro-level discussion on how they affect organizational culture, the culture of a discipline and society at large. This cross-cultural analysis of creativity, innovation and approaches to change will particularly appeal to practitioners and researchers in the fields of psychology, organizational behavior and education. David D. Preiss is Professor of Psychology at the Pontificia Universidad Catlica de Chile. Professor Preiss is the author of more than 50 papers and chapters in the fields of cultural psychology and educational psychology. He is a fellow of the Association for Psychological Science. He is also the author of five collections of poetry. Marcos Singer is Professor of Operations Management, Dean of the MBA at the Pontificia Universidad Catlica de Chile.
