“Creativity and innovation are to events, what the heart and soul are to the living.” The book aims at encouraging readers to capture the traits and develop skills for enhancing their creative and innovative capabilities, cultivating the culture of creativity and innovation. Creativity is inventiveness with new ideas; critical thinking is generating and selecting ideas; and innovation turns creativity into products, processes and services. Creativity + Critical thinking + Innovation = Path of Desired Change The primary difference between creativity and innovation is that the former refers to conceiving a new idea while the latter involves converting that idea into a marketable commodity. Creativity and innovation are an attempt to gain a competitive advantage. Organizations are now focusing on enhancing their employees’ creativity and not merely developing their technical competencies and skills. Undoubtedly, creativity is the most important human resource of all without which there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns. Innovation is at the heart of all successful companies.
This book is a collaborative effort from three workshops held over the last three years, all involving principal contributors to the vine-copula methodology. Research and applications in vines have been growing rapidly and there is now a growing need to collate basic results, and standardize terminology and methods. Specifically, this handbook will (1) trace historical developments, standardizing notation and terminology, (2) summarize results on bivariate copulae, (3) summarize results for regular vines, and (4) give an overview of its applications. In addition, many of these results are new and not readily available in any existing journals. New research directions are also discussed.
This book reflects on science education in the first 20 years of the 21st century in order to promote academic dialogue on science education from various standpoints, and highlights emergent new issues, such as education in science education research.
