    Abstract:

    "Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better." 

    - Martin Luther King Jr.

         Scholars and practitioners have long recognized the importance of creativity and innovation in shaping management practices (Amabile, 1996; Birkinshaw et al., 2008), fostering organizational longevity (Heunks, 1998), and influencing decision-making (Chen et al., 2009; Damanpour, 2018; Staw, 1995). Success in many organizational contexts, from hiring to entrepreneurship, is driven by our ability to generate novel ideas, evaluate unconventional solutions, and implement innovative practices. 

         To better understand these processes, this symposium presents four separate presentations (15 minutes each) that collectively deepen our understanding of these phenomena. Each presentation contributes unique insights exploring related topics. These include how brainstorming sessions might be better structured to account for the differential effects of power, the intersectional effects of race and gender when evaluating a target's creative abilities, whether rapid-feedback from AI has the potential to help entrepreneurs by fostering revision and higher quality ideas, and the ways social influence impacts our ability to "objectively" evaluate entrepreneurial ideas and predict creative success. In sum, this session lays the groundwork for important discussions and transformational advancements at the crossroads of creativity, organizational behavior, and management science.

    Best,

    Blaine and Analexis (organizers)
