Hi Everyone: Recently I requested input about possible texts on creativity and innovation that I could adopt in an MBA class. I was overwhelmed by the large number of responses. I've tried to respond to everyone --- however, in some cases where the individual replied to the list serv rather than to me, I was unable to determine their email addresses. So let me thank everyone once again...and here are the recommendations.
