Advances in information communication technology tools are set against a backdrop of globalizing industries and markets, and international mergers, takeovers, and alliances, which invariably lead to more widely distributed collaboration, both formal and informal. The concept of creativity is often at the core of such proactive decisions. This book collects a defining body of research on the concept of creativity as a specific objective for virtual teams. The international contributors present a complete set of tools and technologies aimed at leveraging ideas from different locations in an organization to harness creativity and deliver innovation.
