'Brian Clegg provides a most readable and engaging overview which will appeal particularly to senior managers who are looking for ways to stimulate creativity and innovation in their organizations.'
'This overview will appeal to the senior leaders of both commercial and not-for-profit sectors.'

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.
