Creativity Management in Sustainability Networks

In this contribution recycling networks are used as a starting point for the concept of sustainability networks. Those are complex systems, defined as ‘systems of voluntary but organized cooperation among different stakeholders with the common vision of sustainable development of society within a certain region’. In order to develop and manage such complex systems, creative action will be required at various phases. Therefore a creativity management model is introduced which tries to provide for the necessary broadened perspective of problem solving within sustainability networks.
