This open access book, through an in-depth process study of the interactions of two creative groups (film production crew) in temporary organizations during two media projects, explores how a team developmental process unfolds and proposes a model illustrating how the groups repeatedly change formation so that individuals can manage job interdependencies and new issues arising while developing, building up, and synthesizing new ideas into a final creative solution. This theory on creative group dynamic coordination builds theory on how and why creative groups coordinate, challenges assumptions about the role of formal structures and informal practices by demonstrating how the two dynamically interact and complement each other to facilitate coordination via the emergence of what one would expect to be “un-coordinated methods”, and provides an alternative perspective to the stages the groups have to go through by emphasizing a cyclical and not a linear team developmental process.
This volume addresses itself to the ways in which the so-called 'new sciences of complexity' can deepen and broaden neurobiological and psychological theories of mind. Complexity theory has gained increasing attention over the past 20 years across diverse areas of inquiry, including mathematics, physics, economics, biology, and the social sciences. Complexity theory concerns itself with how nonlinear dynamical systems evolve and change over time and draws on research arising from chaos theory, self-organization, artificial intelligence and cellular automata, to name a few. This emerging discipline shows many points of convergence with psychological theory and practice, emphasizing that history is irreversible and discontinuous, that small early interventions can have large and unexpected later effects, that each life trajectory is unique yet patterned, that measurement error is not random and cannot be justifiably distributed equally across experimental conditions, that a system's collective and coordinated organization is emergent and often arises from simple components in interaction, and that change is more likely to emerge under conditions of optimal turbulence.
It is essential to cultivate creativity in academia for fostering an educational environment that drives innovation and excellence. As academic institutions face pressures to adapt to a rapidly changing global landscape, the ability to nurture creative thinking among faculty and students becomes critical. Academic institutions look for personnel management redesign techniques and supportive practices in innovation and creativity, with an emphasis on excellence in teaching, research, and administration. Effective talent management strategies attract and retain diverse talent while empowering individuals to collaborate and explore creative ideas. The intricate interplay of talent development, ...
In an era where AI technology is rapidly redefining the boundaries of knowledge, creativity, and learning, learning analytics is no longer limited to collecting behavioral data. It has become a new platform for discovering hidden patterns, understanding the learner experience more deeply, and designing personalized learning paths. AI-augmented creativity, as an emerging concept, has found a key position in the transformation of education and learning design. This approach not only helps to analyze educational data more accurately but also enables the creation of innovative and inspiring solutions that were previously beyond the power of humans or traditional algorithms. AI-Augmented Creativi...
Gloria Moss reveals the extent to which design and advertising effectiveness can be improved through an understanding of the personalities of a range of stakeholders. While the impact of demographic factors (age, class, geographical location) is the object of considerable research, the impact of personality on production and preference aesthetics has been greatly overlooked. It is only by grouping together research conducted on diverse fields that a larger picture of the impact of personality on design production and preference aesthetics can be constructed.
Rather than subscribe to a mehtodical formula for leadership success, Masters of Change approaches effective management skills from the context of history, applying the power of models to instruct the reader.
