| Subject |
Innovation has become a ubiquitous, if not inflationary term, and yet little is known about how ‘the new enters into the world’. For the most part, innovation management has focused on mitigating innovation risks and keeping the unknown in check — a most necessary yet insufficient agenda for management and organization in the 21st century, where continuous renewal of products, services, business models and organizations has become a business essential.
This seminar focuses on two critical aspects of creativity in organizational con-texts: creative processes, that is known procedures likely to yield unknown high-quality outcomes, more specifically, results that prove both new and valuable; and creative organizations, that is collectives (characterized by internal differentiation and integration) that appear as the (often sustainable) source of exceptionally creative ideas, where ‘creative’ again refers to the astonishing blend of new and valuable.
This seminar builds on students’ previously acquired knowledge about creative individuals and networks. It particularly addresses the possibilities and limitations of managing inno¬vation in established firms.
