The  MIM programme - namely the MIM thesis- offered the context to work on a topic of interest of both Authors regarding the dilemma of how to enhance creativity in complex, cross-boundaries, cross-cultural organizations.   The collaboration went on past the 2009 graduation and finally the book took its final shape as it stands today.  

 This book argues for a holistic approach able to cut across boundaries and disciplines in furthering recent knowledge and understanding of the impact of the internationally experienced expatriate team leader on creativity within a multinational environment. The intended audience is in the first line professional IHR managers confronted with the crucial question in how far the employment of expatriates enhances the MNC's creativity capability. The book can also be considered as a support for the expatriate team leader in need to best understand how to foster creativity when working with employees of different cultures. Moreover, this study is intended to fill black spots in current research and therefore provide students and researchers of management with knowledge to support their further work.
