"Creativity and innovation remain serious concerns for most companies. But there are differences in opinion as to the best road through the challenges that lay ahead. How does organizational culture promote creativity? How can individual creativity be leveraged by the team or work group? How can ideas be effectively shepherded from concept to application? How can innovation best be executed? How can innovative products and services benefit from innovative business or delivery models? All of these remain central questions in the West. Now throw into this mix a welter of different cultures, norms, and business relationships along with global competition and you have increased the uncertainty tenfold."
