These include:
Are some people creative and others not? Why is it that some people just
seem to be more so? Some theorists argue for creativity traits such as
tolerance for ambiguity and intolerance of conformity whilst others
counter that traits are hard to identify and not stable or transferable
across situations. Further, motivation is more important.
d) Motivation.
e) Organizational culture.
Some cultures inhibit creativity whilst others foster it? We can all be
more creative so what is stopping us?
f) Organizational structure.
g) Team structure.
Some individuals who have worked alone have made great contributions
to society. Yet many argue that smaller teams overcome the limitations
of the individual. Still others argue that groups introduce negative such
as groupthink and politicking, which gets worse with size. So, what is
the most effective group structure for maximizing the frequency and
quality of creative output?
h) Knowledge Management.
k) Process.
Is there a process that makes insight (also known as aha or eureka) more
likely? It seems that there are triggers and processes that can be used to
get the mind working on problems at various cognitive levels.
l) Valuation.
