"This book presents the history of modern human creativity/innovation through examples of solutions to basic human needs that have been developed over time. The title - Homo problematis solvendis - is a play on the scientific classifications of humans (e.g. Homo habilus, Homo erectus, Homo sapiens), and is intended to suggest that a defining characteristic of modern humans is our fundamental ability to solve problems (i.e. problem-solving human = Homo problematis solvendis).The book not only offers new perspectives on the history of technology, but also helps readers connectthe popular interest in creativity and innovation (in schools, in businesses) with their psychological underpinnings. It discusses why creativity and innovation are vital to societies, and how these key abilities have made it possible for societies to develop into what they are today."

"[Addressing the issues unique to managers of creative technical staff, this guide reflects not only Ronald Kay’s long experience observing and teaching successful management techniques, but also treats the expanding challenges due to increasingly globally-based projects and staff. As before, Kay’s guide helps readers to prepare themselves, graduate students and others to understand and improve their managerial skills and covers such practical, yet sometimes overlooked, steps such as : individual and team behavior of creative technical staff; managing their own and others’ R&D projects ; hiring, evaluating and compensating technical staff ; R&D proposals and administrative functions; and presentations, meetings and organizational culture. New to this edition are a chapter on the global impact of high-tech enterprises and sections on the roles of foundations and government funding and task-force participation. Also tackled are the basics of starting, financing and staffing venture-capital-funded enterprises. What’s more, this book also serves to increase the awareness and knowledge base of anyone who needs to meet the challenge of managing people with the creative energies that drive technologically-based economic growth., Addressing the issues unique to managers of creative technical staff, this guide reflects not only Ronald Kay’s long experience observing and teaching successful management techniques, but also treats the expanding challenges due to increasingly globally-based projects and staff.

"This book reflects modern economy, ecology, sustainability and perception from an artistic perspective. However, it is not so much about "art", but rather how the modern artist takes on a serving role in the social arena again. He makes his creative knowledge available to connect processes of large-scale social development, he extends the boundaries of our scientifically limited world view and creates inspired playgrounds where the sensory-visionary can freely interact with the technically-necessary. This is no new aesthetic theory but rather a practical application of the creative process in operation at the crossroads of social interaction. This volume offers creative ways to find solutions for a wide range of complex problems. It is a practical instrument for modern leadership and can be used to teach complexity in new ways. This work will help to create a global dialogue for sustainable change."

"Menurut teori perkembangan, mahasiswa umumnya termasuk dalam rentang usia dewasa muda, dimana individu dihadapkan pada berbagai masalah, baik pada kehidupan di dalam maupun di luar kampus. Salah satu aset penting yang perlu dimiliki mahasiswa untuk menghadapi masalah-masalah serta memenuhi tugas perkembangannya adalah psychological well-being (PWB). Menurut literatur, studi mengenai PWB pada mahasiswa masih tergolong sedikit. Kreativitas merupakan elemen esensial pada kehidupan mahasiswa. Terdapat jenis kreativitas lain yang masih sedikit mendapat perhatian, yang disebut sebagai everyday creativity (EC). Kreativitas ini ditemukan berhubungan dengan psychological well-being, namun bagaimana kreativitas tersebut berperan dalam kehidupan mahasiswa masih belum banyak diketahui. Penelitian dilakukan pada sampel 120 mahasiswa Universitas Indonesia, menggunakan alat ukur Ryff’s Scales of Psychological Well-Being yang dikembangkan oleh Ryff (1989) dan Everyday Creativity Questionnaire yang dikembangkan Ivcevic & Mayer (2009). Hasil penelitian membuktikan terdapat hubungan signifikan antara everyday creativity dan psychological well-being.

According to a developmental theory, senior college students in general are in the stage of young adulthood, where they encounter various kinds of challenges, both in and outside the campus. One of the most important resources that help college students cope with these challenges and accomplish the development tasks required in this stage is psychological well-being (PWB). According to the literature, there are not many studies on the psychological well-being of college students. Creativity is an essential element in the university life. A form of creativity, called everyday creativity, is reported to be rather neglected in the research on creativity. Everyday creativity is reportedly related to psychological well-being, but not much is known about the role it plays in the everyday life of college students. A study is conducted to a sample of 120 college students of Universitas Indonesia, using Ryff’s Scales of Psychological Well-being and the Everyday Creativity Questionnaire. Results show there is a significant correlation between everyday creativity and psychological well-being."
