Background information
"The book 'Business meets art: Why art is good
for companies' by Ulrike Lehmann is the first comprehensive
presentation of how art stimulates creativity and the communication
process in companies and how important it is for employees. In the age
of digitalization and Industry 4.0, the world of work is changing
rapidly. Robots and automation processes are taking over many different
tasks. In the future, people will be required to use all their skills,
and creativity in particular will be an outstanding characteristic.
Even
if art and business appear to be two separate areas, many similarities
and exciting synergies are crystallizing. Many practical examples and
images are used to illustrate all conceivable areas, such as art in
human resources, in the creative process, in internal and external
communication and in marketing.
