  • Susan Badger Booth Eastern Michigan University

Abstract

Creativity and Entrepreneurship is a powerful collection of essays “examining creativity and entrepreneurship both separately and synergistically.” The introduction focuses on two primary concerns:

1) How can individuals - as global citizens - foster highly creative, critically active and socially accountable practices to co-create a just and imaginative world?

2) How can creativity and entrepreneurship animate institutional and social bodies to build a humane, vivid and interdependent world?
