The hothouse effect

the long version

"In The HotHouse Effect, Barton Kunstler examines the dynamics of diverse communities where creativity has flourished, and pinpoints the factors that drove their exceptional fervor and accomplishments. What's more, he shows you how to assess creativity in your own organization and then establish the environment needed for it to operate at maximum power." "This book is based on Kunstler's scrupulous study of classic cases - including Elizabethan England, the artistic revolution in Paris in the early 1900s, and the German Bauhaus - along with an array of innovative modern companies. The book includes a survey to help you evaluate your company's strengths and shortfalls in each dimension."--Jacket.
