A special issue of Creativity and Innovation Management
Organizing Creativity: Creativity and Innovation under Constraints
Deadline for the submission of papers is 15 June 2013
Guest edited by:
MARJOLEIN C.J. CANIËLS, Open University of the Netherlands, The Netherlands
ERIC F. RIETZSCHEL, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands
Today's dynamic business environment requires firms to constantly adapt in order to survive. As a result of continuously changing demands, organizations have to adjust and reorientate, innovate, and adopt new technologies. Creative ideas are at the root of invention and innovation (Amabile et al., 1996; Woodman et al., 1993). Hence, leaders and managers espouse creativity as an important goal that must be nurtured and facilitated (Mueller et al., 2012). Nevertheless, organizing creativity in organizations remains somewhat enigmatic to scholars. Creative organizations are often associated with spaces characterized by freedom, autonomy, weak rules and few boundaries. For example, this is reflected in Google's workplace design, with the office as a playground in which self-expression is encouraged. However, most organizational actors still have to operate within the constraints and boundaries imposed by the organization. These constraints can easily be experienced as hampering the freedom and creativity of employees. Then again, constraints can also be perceived as challenging. They might entice employees to find a creative new way of circumventing obstacles and dealing with organizational impediments. For example, in an interview with Fast Company, one of Google's top managers states that "engineers thrive on constraints. They love to think their way out of that little box: 'We know you said it was impossible, but we're going to do this, this, and that to get us there.'" (Salter, 2008).
This paradoxical role of constraints for creativity (hampering versus enticing) calls for further elaboration and more research. Several promising avenues of study can be identified.
• Firstly, more research is needed that refines our understanding of what constraints are, and how they affect creative behavior. Behavioural psychologists suggest that creative imagination seems to work best when one is confronted with explicitly understood constraints (Kelly & Leggo, 2008; Kamoche & Pina e Cunta, 2000). Studies in this line mainly refer to mental constraints, i.e. artificial constraints adopted as scaffolding to generate creativity. The workplace might pose constraints of a different nature, i.e. more practically oriented, such as workload pressure, budget limitations, or demands from other stakeholders inside and outside of the organization. Does the specific nature of constraints impact their effect on creativity? Do we need to distinguish between different types of constraints?
• Secondly, more research is needed that explores the nature of the creative process itself. Existing studies typically regard creativity as an output variable, and do not take into account that creativity encompasses a process from initial idea to creative outcome. Several studies have shown that creativity can be viewed as a multistage process. Little is known about whether and how constraints differentially impact the various stages of the creative process. Furthermore, De Dreu, Baas, and Nijstad (2008) argue that creativity can be attained through flexible thought or through persistence. It is possible that constraints exert different effects on creativity depending on which cognitive strategy or pathway they use to attain creative outcomes.
• A third avenue of further research is related to the idea that the concept of "creativity" can be approached from different angles. There might be a difference between individuals feeling creative and actually being creative at the workplace. It would be valuable to engage in additional research that explores various aspects and interpretations of the creativity concept, and the role of constraints for each conceptualization.
• Fourthly, studying overall creative behaviour of employees might be an imprecise and unfocused way of operationalizing a complex phenomenon like creativity. To really get a grasp of what is going on at the workplace scholars might need to look at the specific tasks that are required on the job. Tasks involving incremental improvements might ask for fewer (or other) constraints than tasks of a more radical nature. Alternative relevant categorisations of tasks might be the level of expertise that is needed to carry them out, or the extent to which a constraint limits only the creative capabilities/output of a certain individual or the creative capabilities/output of the entire organization. More studies are needed that explore the working of constraints on the task level.
• Fifth, an impressive body of research has indicated the importance of organizational factors that facilitate creativity. Factors influencing creativity are likely to interact in complex ways. We cannot assume that the absence of a supportive organizational factor, e.g., challenging work, indicates the presence of a corresponding constraint, e.g., unchallenging work. The question arises as to whether and how the impact of various facilitating factors differs from the impact of their negative twin, i.e. the constraining factors that indicate the absence of certain facilitating factors.
Possible topics
This call aims to stimulate debate and discussion around the nature and dynamics of organizational creativity under constraints. This special issue invites submissions from a variety of disciplines and perspectives. In particular, we encourage submissions that address issues related (but not limited) to the following areas:
• The specific nature of constraints and their effects on creativity;
• The effects of constraints on the various stages of the creative process;
• The role of constraints in light of various aspects and interpretations of the creativity concept;
• Exploration of the effects of constraints with regard to the specific nature of the task at hand;
• Exploration into whether and how the impact of various facilitating factors differs from the impact of their negative twin, i.e. the constraining factors that indicate the absence of certain facilitating factors;
• Exploration of interaction effects with regard to constraints, e.g. the interaction between individual-level and organizational constraints;
• Exploration of the interplay of organizational constraints with business innovation and entrepreneurial action;
• Study of the way constraints are dealt with by employees at different management levels, such as top, middle, and first-line management;
• In-depth studies of the working of specific constraints in practice, e.g. power structure and politics, bureaucracy, workload pressure, time pressure, resource constraints, etc. ;
• Study of how groups and teams deal with organizational constraints;
• Study of constraints under different models of organizational behaviour, such as autocratic, custodial, supportive, and collegial;
• Study of constraints in projects and temporary organizations;
• Study of constraints in different countries and cultures.
Research methods
We welcome both conceptual/theoretical and empirical contributions with a variety of research strategies, including surveys, multi-level studies, experiments, case studies and reviews.

Deadline Extended to November 30, 2012 for Chapters for
Government e-Strategic Planning and Management: Practices, patterns and roadmaps
Due to a significant number of corresponding authorsʼ requirements, the deadline for proposal submission has been extended to November 30, 2012.
Details: http://dde.teilar.gr/main.aspx?category=374&UICulture=en-US
CALL FOR CHAPTERS
Proposal Submission: 30th November 2012 (Extended) Full Chapter Submission: 28th February 2013 (Extended) Government e-Strategic Planning and Management: Practices, patterns and roadmaps A Book Edited by Dr. Leonidas G. Anthopoulos1, and Dr. Christopher G.
Reddick2 ,
1TEI of Larissa Greece, Greece, 2University of Texas at San Antonio, USA To be published by SPRINGER Science and Business Media
1. Introduction
Various Government e-Strategies have been developed since the late 90s in an attempt to describe the vision for administrative and for societal change, the objectives and the priorities with regard to the development of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) at national and at supranational levels. Terms such as the European - ;Information Society; the U.S. - ;Information Highways; and the Korean and Chinese - Informatization; try to describe social transformation that occurs due to the ICT, and to determine means with which Governments will capitalize the ICT to deal with national or regional challenges, to improve social life and to support economic growth. Moreover, e-Strategies define guidelines that control public investments on the ICT. In these strategic documents Governments identify the strategic development supervisors, the objectives, the Critical Success Factors (CSFs), the evaluation frameworks, and the estimated outcomes. Different countries recognize different challenges, prioritize different objectives and determine alternative paths to achieve in their e- strategic targets.
Additionally, e-Strategic implementation progress has been used by various organizations to measure e-Government maturity (i.e., the United Nationsʼ e- Government Readiness index, and the Accentureʼs maturity model), and to associate ICT spending with national economic growth (i.e., in terms of marketʼs liberation and corruption). Accenture for instance, classifies countries as innovative leaders (U.S.A., Singapore, Canada); visionary followers (U.K., Netherlands, Australia etc.); steady achievers (France, Germany etc.); and Platform Builders (Japan, Brazil etc.) with regard to their e-Strategic progress.
E-Strategic planning has been a dynamic process since all e-Strategies have closed even more than a single life-cycle. These strategic updates are usually not justified efficiently by Governments. E-strategic planning, management and review are complex processes that have to consider and account on various determinants, which belong to either the external or the internal environment of the application area. As a result, it is extremely difficult to an external observer who has not participated in these processes and who does not live in the particular geographic region to understand these parameters and to recognize how they impact the strategic life cycle and how the strategic objectives are being updated.
2. Objectives
This book focuses on the analysis of various e-strategies and of their updates with means of strategic management. It aims to illustrate the alternative e-strategic approaches that are followed around the world -with the capitalization of recent trends in strategic management theory- and addresses the gaps that appear between e-strategic updates. Invited authors have to use strategic management theory and tools in order to analyze and describe the e-strategic evolution in their cases. More often than not, authors can evaluate e-strategic management approaches and present multi- criteria decision making systems for e-strategic transformation.
Concluding, the aim of this book is to invite and depict experiences from national and supranational cases, which come from different geographic areas regarding e-strategic planning and management. More specifically:
- It aims to demonstrate e-strategic initiation and development across
different countries and continents, and the association between policies and ICT;
- it seeks to perform a systematic analysis of various representative
cases, in order to capture the realized e-Strategic transformation;
- it focuses on the extraction of the critical success factors that
guide e-strategic progress and the criteria set by decision makers for e- strategic reviews;
- it aims to illustrate the reasons that drive e-strategic updates;
- it aims to summarize on patters for e-strategic evolution, according
to the presented cases.
3. Intended audience and Potential uses
1. Government CIOs, Strategic Leaders, Decision Makers, IT/IS Managers,
Analysts and Designers seeking to draft e-strategic change plans.
2. Consultants and practitioners desirous of new solutions and
technologies to define visions and missions for their Government clients.
3. Business management, public policy and IS management educators
interested in imparting knowledge about the vital issue of e-strategic management.
4. Academic and consulting researchers looking to uncover and
characterize new research problems and programs.
5. E‐Government professionals involved with technology strategic
planning, technology procurement, management of technology projects, consulting and advising on technology issues and management.
5. Recommended Topics and Themes
In the context of e-strategic management the proposed book intends to include, but is not limited to, chapters in the following broad topics and
themes:
1. Case studies and user experiences regarding e-strategic development
at national and supranational level.
2. Government 2.0 and e-strategic development in countries and
territories with different levels of e‐government capability and maturity.
3. The context of strategic management (theories, frameworks,
methodologies, tools, recent and future trends and other supporting aspects of strategic management) with regard to the ICT, Strategic (systems) thinking in the public sector.
4. Transparent, open government, connected government and recent trends
regarding e-strategic formulation.
5. Portfolio management, public sector governance, government
