There is an assumption that creative processes in the West are superior to those, if they exist, in 'less developed' parts of the world. The view is that best practice in creativity is obviously that used in the West (Ng 2001). In fact, the belief is that Westerners are the innately 'creative types' and that the rest of the world just copies or steals the West's creativity. Some view the West as being on top of a creative maturity scale. If there were a one best way and a maturity scale, then it should simply be a matter of plotting the other cultures on the scale. However, closer observation would suggest that multiple different approaches to creativity work, and that they cannot not be explained as different stages of creative maturity on the same singular life cycle. (Bilton, Cummings & ogilvie 2015). There are different approaches, approaches shaped by different cultural contexts and relationships of the different cultures (Morris and Leung 2010; Lim and Oyama 2014). The basic premises of this PDW is that rather than the West informing the way other culture's creativity should progress, each culture can learn from the other cultures and that while other cultures' creativity may be different, different does not me lesser, it just means different. This 3rd workshop in a series of ODC workshops on Creativities continues to explore multiple creativities, consolidating a network of AOM creativity scholars. Pre-registration is required for this workshop. To register online, please visit https://secure.aom.org/PDWReg. The deadline to register online is August 06, 2016.
