Outline and objectives

This course provides knowledge regarding theories and practices of creativity in individuals, teams, and organizations. Creativity is one of the most essential elements to generate innovations and promote our well-being. However, we don't really know how to manage our creativity in the workplace or in our daily lives. Management of creativity consists of three parts: expansion of knowledge, integration of knowledge, evaluation of output. In this class, in addition to the basics of creativity, I will provide the corresponding topics along with the above three parts of creativity management.

Goal

(1) Be able to explain the basic theories about creativity that are unfamiliar to this topic.
(2) Be able to theoretically analyze everyday problems and practices in workplaces and organizations.

Changes following student comments

Interaction among students is unlikely to happen during the zoom session. Therefore, I will assign one student per session to be in charge of responding to other students' talks.

Equipment student needs to prepare

For online classes, it is preferable to use your PC.

Others

Note that learning topics might slightly change depending on class progress or interests.
I embrace interactions—when discussing cases, engaging in exercises, and learning from the instructor.
Relevant courses: Introduction to Organizational Management, Introduction to Strategic Management, Strategic Management, Human Resource Management, and Japanese Innovation Management.
