The art of innovation: How arts-based initiatives can nurture innovation dynamic capabilities
通过21位企业经理和艺术家的深度访谈，研究揭示了艺术活动如何帮助企业感知机会、整合资源并变革流程，从而提升长期创新能力，为管理者利用艺术推动创新提供实践指导。
The role of the arts in fostering organisational creativity and driving corporate innovation has long been recognized as an area of interest for both academics and practitioners. Yet, the mechanisms through which arts-based-interventions (ABIs) contribute to building dynamic capabilities remain underexplored. By drawing on 21 in-depth interviews with business managers and experienced artists, our study provides concrete insights into how artistic engagement enhances an organization's ability to sense opportunities, seize resources or capabilities, and transform structures, routines or processes to boost long-term innovation. We investigate the underlying mechanisms by creating a rich and contemporary taxonomy of ABIs for innovation. The findings offer a nuanced understanding of how artistic engagement can strengthen organisational adaptability and innovation capacity. This research advances theoretical perspectives on dynamic capabilities and provides practical guidance for managers seeking to leverage the arts as part of their innovation strategies.
