BUS505 Organizational Creativity, Discovery and Innovation

Unit 5   Discussion

Managing for Creativity or Results?   In business we all have a job to do, things that have to get accomplished. As managers we have to see that the work is done. We also want our people to work effectively and be innovative.

Is there a difference in managing a team for results and one for creativity?

How is it different or not different depending upon your perspective?

In your experience have you managed/been managed differently for creative projects than for daily results?

Discuss.  Be sure to bring to the discussion any items that will help support your position

Do you agree with this statement? Explain why or why not.

Provide an example of a management innovation that worked (or didn’t work), explain your answer and cite references.

Take a stand and support your position on others’ posts.
