Abstract(s)
Viewing creativity in context stresses the need to explore how creativity
is really defined by organisational actors engaged in creative processes,
whether these be related to product innovation or other types of innovation.
That which in some cases might be viewed as a powerful influencing
context factor, may in other instances be seen as just another
company practice. Likewise, differences across organic units within the
same company are probably better examined by looking at the historical
and spatial pattern developed over time between individual actors
and groups, as well as their unique set of contextual factors. The same
reasoning can be extended to an analysis of creativity in industries and
in national cultures. Only by taking into account the actors’ perspective
of context, can researchers be permitted to fully comprehend the interplay between the creative person and his/her context.
To summarise, this chapter has addressed creativity in context, and
offered some additional thoughts that may be used by researchers to
continue to investigate the socio-psychological view of creativity.
