His restaurant, elBulli, was awarded five times the title of the Best Restaurant in the World. Through an analysis of the last 30 years of the creative journey of elBulli, this contribution highlights that Adri{\`a} and his team of chefs succeeded in articulating two different processes: i) a process of creativity that aimed at defining a new {\textquotedblleft}school{\textquotedblright} of high cuisine and ii) a process of innovation that was expressed by the new gastronomic experiences offered to the (happy few) customers of the restaurant until its closure in 2011. A careful examination of the coupling and decoupling of these two processes shows how they fueled each other, and how the management of the organization (through a specific type of ambidexterity) was conducive to the adequate articulation of the two processes. }, keywords = {ambidexterity, creative process, creativity, elBulli, exploitation, exploration, Ferran Adri{\`a}, gastronomy, haute cuisine, innovation}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/911}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/911}, author = {Ignasi Capdevila and Patrick Cohendet and Laurent Simon} } @article {909, title = {Introduction to the Special Issue on Creativity in Innovation}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {5}, year = {2015}, month = {07/2015}, pages = {5-13}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {Managing creativity for innovation is a key challenge in today{\textquoteright}s economy; therefore, the management of ideas will play in increasing role in driving the growth and resilience of organizations. Rather than simple inspired insights, ideas have to be addressed as complex socio-cognitive processes, to be organized and managed. To benefit from the full value of new ideas, management must constantly balance the formal and the informal, the logic of creation and the logic of production, and must learn to couple idea-generation processes and innovation processes through renewed knowledge management practices. In this introduction to the Technology Innovation Management Review{\textquoteright}s special issue on Creativity in Innovation, the guest editors highlight the need to manage: i) ideation processes to foster creativity, ii) the tension that exists between the logic of creation and production; and iii) disruptive innovation to transform a traditional industry. }, keywords = {creativity, ideas, ideation, innovation, management}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/909}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/909}, author = {Patrick Cohendet and Laurent Simon} } @article {915, title = {Setting the Stage for Collaborative Creative Leadership at Cirque du Soleil}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {5}, year = {2015}, month = {07/2015}, pages = {59-65}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {Debates about the nature of leadership for creativity have been ongoing since the 1950s.

In this context, leadership for collaborative creativity appears as a constant and dynamic balancing act between people, ideas, deliverables, and the position and personality of the leader.}, keywords = {Cirque du Soleil, collaboration, creativity, innovation, leadership}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/915}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/915}, author = {Laurent Simon} }
