TY - JOUR T1 - Establishing New Codes for Creativity through Haute Cuisine: The Case of Ferran Adrià and elBulli JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2015 A1 - Ignasi Capdevila A1 - Patrick Cohendet A1 - Laurent Simon KW - ambidexterity KW - creative process KW - creativity KW - elBulli KW - exploitation KW - exploration KW - Ferran Adrià KW - gastronomy KW - haute cuisine KW - innovation AB - Ferran Adrià is one of the most recognized chefs in the world. 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 Adrià and his team of chefs succeeded in articulating two different processes: i) a process of creativity that aimed at defining a new “school” 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.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Introduction to the Special Issue on Creativity in Innovation JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2015 A1 - Patrick Cohendet A1 - Laurent Simon KW - creativity KW - ideas KW - ideation KW - innovation KW - management AB - Managing creativity for innovation is a key challenge in today’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'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.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Setting the Stage for Collaborative Creative Leadership at Cirque du Soleil JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2015 A1 - Laurent Simon KW - Cirque du Soleil KW - collaboration KW - creativity KW - innovation KW - leadership AB - Debates about the nature of leadership for creativity have been ongoing since the 1950s. But, despite the central role leadership plays in the management of creative processes, few contributions highlight the actual practice of leadership for collaborative creative ventures. This interview with the Director of Acrobatics and Coaching at Cirque du Soleil addresses the reflexive experience of a creative leader faced with the challenges of integrating multiple expertises around complex, technological, human, and poly-sensorial creative performances. 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.
