  This updated text provides a lively introduction to the essential skills of creative problem solving. Using extensive case-studies and examples from a wide range of business situations, it explores a wide range of problem-solving theories and techniques, illustrating how these can be used to solve a range of management problems.

  • blocks to creativity and how to overcome them
  • key techniques including lateral thinking, morphological analysis and synectics
