Reflecting this, the book includes chapters covering a broad range of literature including psychology, sociology and a number of cross-disciplinary fields such as science, technology and innovation policy studies. Apart from the first and the last chapters the book contain seven chapters that concern the micro, meso and macro levels of creative knowledge environments.

And how can creative knowledge environments best be stimulated? (Less)
