HICSS-45 CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE MINITRACK ON:
"CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS"
PART OF THE COLLABORATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY TRACK OF THE FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEMS SCIENCES (HICSS) MAUI, HI - JANUARY 4 - 7, 2012
Papers are invited for the minitrack on "CREATIVITY IN TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS" as part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS).
Innovation is a critical force in organizational performance and survival. Changes in technology, globalization, and increased competition have all created an environment in which creativity and innovation are needed in order to cope with situational and economic pressures and frequent changes. Designers and Developers of organizational systems must therefore innovate almost continuously to keep the organization aligned with such changes. Creativity is a critical pre-condition for innovation. Generating novel and creative ideas are the key to innovation and growth in every organization today. Providing employees, customers and partners with tools to think creatively has been proven to increase innovation in organizations.
Research shows that organizations which have established skill-bases and tools for creativity outperform the competition in terms of revenue, rolling out new products, innovation and growth. Though organizations deploy groups for most creative processes, there has been little research in the area of group creativity. Most creative research is focused on individual factors affecting creativity. Many challenges that arise from pursuing creativity in teams remain unexplored.
This minitrack provides one of the key international platforms on which the following issues can be discussed:
1. Methods & techniques to improve creativity in co-located and
distributed groups
2. Design and Evaluation of Systems and technology for enhancing creativity
3. Challenges and opportunities for creativity in teams
4. Theoretical foundations for creativity at individual, group and
organizational levels
5. Practical approaches to foster creativity at individual, group
and organizational levels
6. The creation and implementation of innovations in teams and organizations
7. Factors affecting creativity in teams and organizations
8. Building team-based organizations
9. Multi-level issues of creativity in teams and organizations
10. Research linking individual creativity to group level creativity and organizational level innovation 11. Multi-disciplinary approaches to creativity 12. Creative collaboration between business partners and customers (e.g. co-creation of products and services)
Thus, papers are welcome that contain original ideas on how to improve creativity and innovation through all phases of problem-solving:
Understanding a problem, devising potential solutions, evaluating alternatives, making choices, making plans, taking action, and after-action review. We seek papers that suggest methodical, technical, theoretical, or practical improvements for realizing creative ideas in the workforce as innovations, for an organization cannot benefit from its creativity until its ideas are implemented.
There are no preferred methodological stances for this minitrack: this minitrack is open to both qualitative and quantitative research, to research from a positivist, interpretivist, or critical perspective, to studies from the lab, from the field, design-oriented or developmental in nature.
Themes and topics of relevance to this minitrack include, but are not limited to (related topics not listed are especially welcome):
