[CogSci] New book on Encouraging Innovation

[Stephen Reed]

Stephen Reed's latest book
*Encouraging Innovation: Cognition, Education, and Implementation* should
interest people who desire to become more innovative in their daily lives
and careers. The first section of the book discusses the cognitive and
social skills required for innovation – reasoning, problem solving,
creativity, group decision making, and collaborative problem solving. The
second section discusses education – the development of cognitive skills
and talent, application of relevant learning theories, methods and
curricula for enhancing creativity, creativity across disciplines, and
design education. The third section discusses the implementation of these
skills in society – the transition from theory to practice, business
innovation, social innovation, and organizational support. Whereas business
innovation is related to commercialization, market demands, and
profitability, social innovation addresses fulfilling social needs and
public demands. Organizational support for innovation occurs at
international (United Nations), national (Workplace Innovation Network for
Canada), agency (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), and
regional (Science Action Network) levels.
