Creativity in Research : Cultivate Clarity, Be Innovative, and Make Progress in your Research Journey
Creativity is at the heart of successful research, yet researchers are rarely taught how to manage their creative process, and modern academic life is not structured to optimize creativity.Creativity in Research provides concrete guidance on developing creativity for anyone doing or mentoring research.Based on a curriculum developed at Stanford University's Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, this book presents key abilities that underlie creative research practice through a combination of scientific literature on creative confidence, experiential exercises, and guided reflection.By focusing attention on how research happens as well as its outputs, researchers increase their ability to address research challenges and produce the outputs they care about.Simultaneously, they may also transform their emotional relationship with their work, replacing stress and a harsh inner critic with a more open and emotionally empowered attitude.

What makes a good research question?
A good research question is clear, specific, and focused. It should be relevant and address a gap in existing knowledge or literature. A good research question should also be answerable through empirical investigation and lead to meaningful results. Additionally, it should be feasible within the constraints of time, resources, and ethical considerations.

Business School Research : Excellence, Academic Quality and Positive Impact
This second book in the EFMD Management Education series explores business schools’ increasing focus on, and search for, meaningful societal and economic research impact.This involves, in particular, co-operation and collaboration in both knowledge creation and implementation of the findings of academic research in practice. Business schools have a critical role to play in ‘rewiring’ our missions for research relevance, impact and reach, and in recognising needs and addressing real issues of society and economy.With cases from a range of international business schools, the book doesn’t simply highlight the need for the dominant research model in business schools to evolve, but illustrates how this can happen in practice.In so doing, it opens the discussion on how the business school can contribute in very real ways to solving global and complex challenges such as climate change, rising inequalities, international isolationism, eroding democratic systems, and the spread of fake news. These are goals that the EFMD has championed since its inception, and this book will be of value and interest to policy makers and business leaders seeking insight into how management education will be shaped to support business and wider society, as well as those working in business schools and higher education leaders. The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

How does modern evolutionary research differ from earlier research?
Modern evolutionary research differs from earlier research in several key ways. Firstly, modern research benefits from advanced technologies such as DNA sequencing, which allows for a more detailed understanding of genetic variation and evolutionary relationships. Additionally, modern research often takes a more interdisciplinary approach, incorporating insights from fields such as genomics, ecology, and computational biology. Finally, there is a greater emphasis on studying evolution in real time, through experiments and observations in natural populations, rather than relying solely on fossil evidence.

Can empirical research be conducted without a research question?
Empirical research typically requires a research question to guide the study and provide a clear focus for data collection and analysis. A research question helps define the purpose of the study, identify the variables to be measured, and guide the selection of appropriate research methods. Without a research question, researchers may struggle to design a study that is coherent, relevant, and able to produce meaningful results. Therefore, having a research question is essential for conducting effective empirical research.
