Abstract

This book starts with an overall background of rapid progress of economic development in recent China under a shift from ‘Made in China' to ‘Created in China'. Such a background shapes the starting point of this book and reflects a question: Why should we focus on the topic of creativity and innovation in Chinese universities? This chapter interprets the meaning of a political goal of ‘innovation-oriented nation', the link between creativity and innovation, and the barriers of traditional culture to develop innovation capability in China. All these points underpin why Chinese universities should put creativity on the top of the agenda. This will lay basis in later chapters that address problem-based learning (PBL) as a good strategy of facilitating creativity among young Chinese talents.
