The purpose of this research is to consider whether ethical leadership influences intrinsic motivation, taking into account creativity as a mediating construct. Likewise, it is crucial to know how the commitment to continuity moderates the causal relationship between the variables studied....

There are two fundamentally different approaches to innovation, and each is associated with a distinct pattern of discovery over the life cycle. Experimental innovators work by trial an error, and arrive at their major contributions gradually, late in life. Conceptual innovators make sudden...

The discipline of economics has traditionally refused to study the behavior and achievements of specific individuals. Yet creativity – a primary source of the technological change that drives economic growth – is largely the domain of extraordinary individuals or small groups. For the first...

In this paper I assess the existence, and the magnitude, of technological externalities in the form of creativity spillovers that affect individual firms' innovative intensity. Relying on a large sample of Italian manufacturing firms, I first estimate a knowledge production function through a...

One of the major challenges that leaders face is that of creating and applying an organizational vision that could be the inspirating source for organizational objectives and the activities developed within. It is a matter of integrating the individual and organizational expectations, in order...

Sustainable development implies the assumption of a new strategy at the microeconomic level. The paper presents several proposals to improve the substantiation and implementation of a strategy adequate to the new challenges of the sustainable development of society.

Despite literature has widely investigated the logics of ideation, at early stages of innovation and product development processes (Bjork and Magnusson, 2009; Boeddrich, 2004; Girotra et al., 2010), very few contributions deal with the very starting point of the ideation process, i.e. the initial theme...
