Edward de Bono - The Father of Lateral Thinking and Creativity Paradoxe d’Easterlin Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Le paradoxe d’Easterlin, du nom de l’économiste éponyme qui l’a mis en évidence en 1974, énonce qu'au-delà d'un certain seuil, la poursuite de la hausse du revenu ou du produit intérieur brut par habitant ne se traduit pas nécessairement par une hausse du niveau de bonheur individuel déclaré par les individus[1]. Les explications avancées font notamment appel au paradoxe de l'abondance. Le paradoxe d’Easterlin est l'une des réflexions à la base de l'économie du bien-être. Richard Easterlin a mis en évidence le fait qu'une fois qu'une société a atteint un certain seuil de richesse, la poursuite de son développement économique est sans influence sur l'évolution du bien-être moyen de sa population. Critiques et recherches ultérieures[modifier | modifier le code] En 2010, Easterlin a publié des résultats concernant un échantillon de 37 pays, réaffirmant le paradoxe[3],[4], qui fut cependant aussitôt contesté par Wolfers[5].
Creative Techniques This A to Z of Creativity and Innovation Techniques, provides an introduction to a range of tools and techniques for both idea generation (Creativity) and converting those ideas into reality (Innovation). Like most tools these techniques all have their good and bad points. I like to think of these creativity and innovation techniques as tools in a toolbox in much the same way as my toolbox at home for DIY. It has a saw, spanner, hammer, knife and all sorts of other things in it, they are all very useful, but you have to pick the right tool (creativity / Innovation technique) for each job. For the future, the aim is to also have sub-categories which will identify Techniques for; Problem Definition - including problem analysis, redifinition, and all aspects associated with defining the problem clearly. Special thanks to the Open University for their kind permission to use material from their publication B822. Subcategories This category has the following 5 subcategories, out of 5 total.
