How does one combine a challenging career with creativity? This book answers that question. Career Creativity explores different models of careers and creativity and the necessity for it. It is broken into four sections of study; 'Creative Careers Observed', 'Creative Careers Enacted', Careers in Creative Industries' and 'Careers Creating Industries.’ This volume links these two ideals with key examples from various professions, countries and industries.
