At the end, i found myself wanting to go back to old well known sources to re-read them, to look out previously unaccessed sources and to learn more about creativity and innovation. In short, Clegg's book is both an excellent introduction to business creativity as a topic and an excellent advocate of its central importance as a management/organisational tool. It is well worth reading.
