Diversity Networks Spur Creativity & Innovation

I like this article because it talks about how diversity helps to spur creativity and innovation: http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/news/bmag/sbsm0305/ideas_ruef_networking.shtml

"Diverse networks and sources of information encourage the diffusion of non-redundant information and thus stimulate creativity," says Ruef. In terms of the entrepreneurial team itself, "the more entrepreneurs you have, the more likely you are to have innovation because people come in with different backgrounds and perspectives."

Encouraging people to build bonds across cultures and faiths not only helps to build harmony, cooperation, and collaboration in a community, but it also helps the community to progress and promotes the ability of people to come up with innovative solutions and invent creative new technologies!
