- Students explore and develop their personal, largely implicit theories of creativity/innovation.
- Students understand what it means for them to take responsibility for a creative process. They know how to test, reflect on and further develop their abilities to contribute to and shape creative team work.

Lehrinhalte |
(*)Arguably, technically advanced, wealthy societies rely increasingly on innovation as the primary driver of their economic development. Consequently, human re-sources, specifically highly qualified, creative people have become the most important economic resource—sought after by firms and regions alike.
This course focuses on creativity as a human capacity that everyone possesses to a greater or lesser extent and on particularly creative people — who they are, what they do and how they are embedded in social networks. In the first phase of the course students actively engage in innovation challenges and gain first-hand experiential knowledge about creative processes. In the second phase they work with advanced academic literature and engage in profound dialogues in class to acquire current scientific knowledge about creative people and how to manage them.
