Preface to the Second Edition
I am pleased to share with you the second print edition of perhaps the first in its nature, scale, and scope publishing project trying to bring together theories, practices, and policies related to the nature and dynamics of creativity, invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship. In collaboration with Springer Publishers, my four Associate Editors of the Springer Encyclopedia of Creativity, Invention, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship and I have brought to completion this precedent-setting and intellectual-footprint-defining Work of Reference. The aim has been to help define the intellectual scaffolds for the four related emerging thematic areas of research and practice. Editorial Board Editor-in-Chief: Prof. Dr. Elias G. Carayannis, George Washington University, USA Creativity Associate Editor: Dr. Igor N. Dubina, Altai State University, Russia Invention Asso
