For the past two decades, creativity and innovation have been viewed by researchers as critical to organizational success and survival. Understanding the factors that facilitate or inhibit creativity and innovation at the individual level has been the focus of much of the research in this area. However, while earlier work on teams considered the working dynamics of the group as a context variable with individual creativity the outcome, research now emphasizes group creativity as the intended, desired outcome. This shift in thought has occurred because many of the problems routinely facing organizations are complex and cannot be solved by a single individual at the helm.

Edited by Roni Reiter-Palmon, Team Creativity and Innovation provides readers with a state-of-the-art review of the major concepts and current research related to the demonstrable benefits of team creativity and innovation. In this volume, Reiter-Palmon and contributors explore such topics as team collaboration and communication, trust and psychological safety, team diversity, social networks, conflict, organizational learning, and more as a way to introduce readers to the issues that matter most in today's modern, forward-thinking workplace.
Industry Reviews
"This insightful and invaluable text focuses on how teams create, not just individuals who participate on teams, but the team itself viewed from both an internal and an external perspective. This collection of curated papers is divided into three baskets: 'Team Processes,' 'Team Organizational Factors,' and 'Applications.' The papers trace the arc of team development to task completion in clear, concise prose. The text fills the gap between team formation and innovation. Often these topics are dealt with in isolation, but here they are interrelated and part of the broader process. Current research regarding team creativity, innovation, processes, and applications is presented in a broad contextual flow that encourages new ways to think about these subjects. While this is a well-documented, scholarly text, the organization leads the lay and scholarly reader into a most thoughtful exploration of the topic. This remarkable text makes it all look easy by presenting a complex subject with clarity and expertise so that the reader comes away with a greater understanding of the subject...Highly recommended." --CHOICE
