Our alternative draws on three fundamental ideas that are emerging in different pockets of the creativity literature in a way that can be readily conceptualized and applied in practice. The first idea is that creativity is really about "creativities", or a cluster of different and discrete qualities that can be combined to suit the context in which they operate. The second is that creativity is not static: it is about "creativitying", or the action and the practice of combining these creativities, which evolve over time. The third is that being creative in organizations is not an individual act: rather, it is the multiple activities of groups as they go about creativitying.}, keywords = {action-embedded creativity, creative dynamics, creativities, creativity, creativitying, innovation, management}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/910}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/910}, author = {Stephen Cummings and Chris Bilton and dt ogilvie} }
