Closing Points
❖ Creativity is operationalised and studied in a variety of ways, and it is important that we
keep doing so
- the phenomenon is too complex to limit to a single indicator
- even the question what a “good” or “bad” idea is has multiple answers
❖ Creativity is not always a matter of happy-happy-joy-joy
❖ there is a dark side to creativity as well – both intended and unintended
❖ An important challenge is to look beyond creativity and innovation as dependent
variables
❖ we should also study how people respond to creativity and innovation
❖ this is one of the more important recent trends in the literature
Lecture 1
The Four P’s of Creativity (Rhodes, 1961)
❖ Refer to different approaches/focuses to creativity
1. Person: Characteristic of the creative person (is personality related to creativity? are
creative people more intelligent? how can we find creative employees?)
2. Product: characteristics of creative achievements (what distinguishes a creative idea
from a conventional one? What is an “idea” anyway?)
, a. originality = more is better?
→ originality is widely seen as the hallmark of creativity
→ but it is more a curvilinear relationship originality and appreciation
b. innovation sweet spot: far enough from existing products to attract interest,
close enough to fall within a company’s existing positioning and capabilities
(Goldenberg et al., 2003)
→ e.g. first iPad (from different company) failed, because it was too far away
from the norm; later it worked because people were more used to mobile phones
c. what happens when people are exposed to original ideas?
- originality may generate “word of mouth”, but only positively when combined
with feasibility
d. originality is essential but definitely not enough
3. Process: the way in which creativity is achieved (how do creative ideas get generated?
Is creative thought different from ordinary thought?)
➢ inspiration
➢ the mystical approach to creativity:
“enlightenment”
➢ inspiration as a stage
common division of the creative
process:
1) preparation
2) incubation
3) illumination/inspiration
4) evaluation
→ familiar and recognizable, but not necessarily helpful or informative; it is not
a theoretical model that actually explains what happens but more an intuitive
description of how things seem to go
focus on inspiration detracts from the deliberate and goal-directed aspects of
creativity
→ creativity is not just something that happens to us (which is definitely not the
case); we can make it happen
