Description
Creativity is a defining feature of contemporary work life. Organizing Creativity explores what it means to be creative in and as an organization. The book argues that creativity is essentially about ideas, and that every organization relies on valuable ideas to solve everyday problems and invent new processes, products or services. The author highlights the interdependency of context, process and practice in the creative process, drawing on cultural and processual perspectives. This analysis has implications for generating, evaluating and facilitating ideas, as well as preventing transformative changes in dominant notions of creativity. Organizing Creativity draws on empirical examples, case illustrations and seminal research from Sociology, Social Psychology and Organization Studies to provide a multi-dimensional perspective on the complex interplay of organizational, social and cultural contexts. By examining these factors, the book aims to further our understanding of organizing creativity and spark critical reflection on its complex nature.
