Not only was it great food but it also provided great environment for creative thinking. So let me start on the hormones that Mellani did not want to: chocholate (in general) releases many "feel-good" hormones and NUS has certainly proved that they understand neuroeconomics and the hormonal connection to decision-making and general human behavior. I am looking forward to some cooperative work with members of the neuroeconomics community of NUS! I wish the evening of the NUS chocolate covered fruits has never ended.

There continues to be a tangible sense that creative change (destruction perhaps) is happening in many ways. For me the new frontier has become neuroeconomics and now uncovering all the ways it can be applied to entrepreneurship and organization theory research. Forgive me, please, but it is like a quote from an old Star Trek movie, a young man was given a new technology in a trade with Scottie back from the future, the young man said: "it will take me years to understand the dimensions of this matrix!" I and others have already begun work in this exciting new field of application and hope that many others will come along. It is multi-disciplinary (Zak called it "transdisciplinary") and virtually demands cooperative efforts. It is a vast and rich field ripe for creative exploration of the brain if not the mind in decision-making. And don't get me started on hormones....

For next year's theme for our conference, we're exploring a theme centered around Creative IT and how many jobs nowadays almost require people to understand diverse disciplines well. How people will have to get ever more creative to address our ever increasing and diverse problems. It's almost as if Joseph Schumpeter's creative destruction is shifting into over drive right now and causing us all to tag along.
