| Summary: | Much creative work takes place in groups or teams, but also individual creative efforts cannot be seen as separate from a social context. In recent decades, the questions "What makes groups and teams creative?" and "How is creativity shaped by the social context?" have therefore received increasing research attention. This book provides a comprehensive overview of this work and is organised into five sections, with topics including: issues of group composition, diversity, newcomers, and conflict; cognitive, motivational, and affective processes in groups as they relate to group creativity; theoretical approaches to group creativity based on information-processing theory, social identity theory, network theories, and decision-making theories; the (social) context in which group creativity takes place and the role of norms and culture; effective brainstorming; and the role of leadership.
