From what perspective should creativity of a system be considered? Are we interested in the creativity of the system’s output? The creativity of the system itself? Or of its creative processes? Creativity as measured by internal features or by external feedback? Traditionally within computational creativity the focus had been on the creativity of the system’s Products or of its Processes, thoug...

Creativity can hardly be understood in isolation from a context where values such as novelty and usefulness are ascribed. This paper presents a multi-level perspective for the study of creativity and formulates a framework for computational creativity that consists of 1) Culture; 2) Society; 3) Groups; 4) Products; 5) Personality; 6) Cognition, 7) Neural processes; and 8) CC processes. This mod...

I introduce a theoretical framework for reasoning about the values of theories (understood as sets of elements of random conceptual algebras) and about the values of concepts with respect to theories. Then I define theory formation games and argue that they provide an adequate theoretical framework for the evaluation of strategies and algorithms for computational creativity; and, finally, I bri...

This paper presents un early attempt at developing a framework for studying organizational creativity in the IS domain. A managerial model of organizational creativity is proposed, tying together organizational inputs, creative processes, creative outputs and organizational outcomes based on research in organizational creativity, organizational innovation and strategic management. The model is ...

Creativity can be of great importance in decision-making and applying computational creativity to decision support is comparatively feasible since novelty and value often can be evaluated by a reasonable human effort or by simulation. A prominent model for how humans make real-life decisions is reviewed and we identify and discuss six opportunities for enhancing the process with computational c...

Generally, Analysis of learning creativity phenomenon is an interesting and challenging issue associated with educational practice. Moreover, that phenomenon is tightly related to main human brain functions (Learning and Memory). So, creative individuals are characterized by their distinct capabilities in performing both brain functions. Additionally, educationalists as well as psychologists, f...

Purpose – The purspose of this study is to examine the interplay between job resources (job control and support for creativity from coworkers and supervisors), age and creativity at work. Job control and support for creativity are assumed to benefit idea creativity and to moderate the relationship between age and idea creativity. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 117 nurses completed qu...

Responses from Egyptian employees to a questionnaire incorporating the Schwartz Value Survey, reveal that individuals for whom Selfdirection is a relatively important value type perceive themselves to be more creative in the workplace than individuals with Conformity or Power as preferred value types. Results regarding Organizational Context support earlier studies that emphasize the salience o...
