HICSS-52 Call for papers for the Minitrack on:
"CREATIVITY: RESEARCH & PRACTICE"
Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS)
Maui - January 8-11, 2019
Papers are invited for the "CREATIVITY: RESEARCH & PRACTICE"
Minitrack 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 b
een 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 topics can be discussed (related topics not
listed are especially welcome):
1. Methods & techniques to improve creativity in teams and
crowds
2. Open Innovation, idea competitions, co-creation, and creativity
through social media
3. Design and evaluation of platforms, systems, and technologies
for enhancing creativity
4. Challenges and opportunities for creativity in teams, crowds,
and organizations 5. Theoretical foundations for creativity at
individual, group, crowd, and organizational levels
6. Practical approaches to foster creativity at individual, group,
crowd, and organizational levels
7. The creation and implementation of innovations in teams,
crowds, and organizations
8. Factors affecting creativity in individuals, teams, crowds, and
organizations
9. Multi-level issues of creativity in teams, crowds, and
organizations
10. Multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches to creativity
11. Creative collaboration between business partners and customers
(e.g. open innovation and co-creation of products and services)
12. Managing creative projects
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.
