Factors influencing creativity in the domain of managerial decision making
研究结合领域演化模型和战略决策理论，发现管理决策创造力的新颖性和价值受不同因素影响，且两者几乎独立。
This sturdy examines factors that influence the creativity of managers' decisions. A domain-based, evolutionary model that describes the influence of context on creative action is combined with a teleological model of creative managerial decision making derived from the strategy formulation and organizational decision process literatures. Results show that two key dimensions of managerial creativity, the novelty and the value of choices, were affected by markedly different factors. Surprisingly influences on the novelty of managers' choices were essentially independent of influences on the value of those choices. Overall, this study represents an initial attempt to describe and empirically, examine processes that affect the creativity of executives' choices. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
