Innovation is an essential growth lever for organizations. Like any strategic element, it must be managed to ensure the right decision is made at the right time. When we talk about management, we naturally also consider management control. However, using management tools can be a danger to developing creativity – an essential element of innovation. This book examines the interdependencies between management control and creativity. By comparing two organizational contexts, we highlight the vital role of organizations as generators of creativity. We also underline the acceptance of an imbalance between the elements in tension, which can lead to the questioning and fostering of innovation; and the role of senior management as mediators between organizations and local actors.
This book provides a single source of reference for educators interested in understanding how industry-based ideas have been adapted into different educational contexts, and supports their utilisation in practice. The link between industry-based ideas and their application in education has enabled educators to develop engaging, collaborative, and creative learning environments, as well as better preparing their students for an increasingly complex and dynamic global environment. This book includes contributions from educators, researchers, and practitioners, who have integrated industry-based ideas into their teaching, and explores how these concepts and practices support the creation of effective learning environments. Through these diverse, international contributions, this book enables wider engagement with, and critical analysis of, the application of industry practices, processes and techniques in the development of collaborative and creative learning environments.

L’économie de (la) fonctionnalité est un concept souvent associé à la transition écologique et au développement durable. Il privilégie l’usage plutôt que la vente d’un service ou d’un bien, et tend à favoriser la coopération. Ce modèle facilite la transition vers un environnement économique et social plus écologique et équitable. Cet ouvrage présente les différentes approches de l’économie de (la) fonctionnalité et la manière dont les divers acteurs (entreprises, institutions publiques, citoyens) se les approprient par l’innovation. Ces dernières, en fonction de leur degré de soutenabilité et de leur ampleur, peuvent avoir d’importants impacts économiques, sociaux et environnementaux. Ainsi, les acteurs de l’innovation doivent être accompagnés au plus près, notamment au niveau territorial, pour surmonter les difficultés rencontrées et bénéficier des transformations portées par le modèle socio-économique que sous-tend la fonctionnalité.
Les rapports successifs du GIEC soulignent régulièrement les conséquences dommageables de l’activité humaine sur le climat. Une transition écologique paraît indispensable pour modifier notre système économique et social, tout en répondant aux besoins des générations actuelles et futures.
