Considering creativity as a journey beyond idea generation, scholars have theorized that different ties are beneficial in phases. As individuals usually possess types of ties, s...

Several studies suggest that mind wandering (MW) benefits creativity when the MW occurs in the incubation period of creative problem solving. The aim of present study was to examine the effects of MW that occurs in the course of creative idea generation. Participants received an Alternative Uses Task (AUT) and were asked to generate ideas for 20min. Their MW frequencies as time passed were meas...

We introduce two descriptive models for evaluating creative software; the FACE model, which describes creative acts performed by software in terms of tuples of generative acts, and the IDEA model, which describes how such creative acts can have an impact upon an audience. We show how these models have been inspired both by ideas in the psychology of creativity and by an analysis of acts of huma...

This paper presents an approach to increase the creativity of ideas/solutions in an idea contest. Analog to a letter in a bottle tasks are distributed in a randomized way to potential problem solvers. The idea contest is a method from Open Innovation which opens a company’s innovation process to its environment (e.g. customers, suppliers). By using idea contests the creative poten...

Building creativity in a remote group is challenging, and various methods to improve it have been investigated. However, the effect of real-time feedback system on computer-mediated outcome remains undetermined. In this study, we studied performance 20 two-person groups (dyads) while they engaged alternative uses task via video-mediated communication received cues based turn-taking. The study i...

the work of architecture is believed to depend on the governing thought in the process of architectural designing. this thought can be analyzed, developed, experienced, and interpreted. creativity is the only domineering force in the idea of designing which is in quest for freeing architecture from the routine methods, and also finding the novel systems to answer the questions in architecture. ...

In this paper we consider some of the basic design principles that should support the development of future DRM systems. We begin by discussing some of the problems associated with current DRM environments, and how they might be alleviated through the adoption of an open architectural framework based on basic design principles. We then demonstrate a particular implementation referred to as the ...

This research aims to examines the influence mechanism of complementary fit on repatriates’ innovation behavior. This research builds a theoretical model on complementary fit, knowledge transfer and innovation behavior, recognizes the moderating variable, creative self-efficacy. The empirical analysis data is collected from 260 repatriates from Multinational Corporations Xi’ an, Nanjing, Shangh...
