Join us for our panel symposium "Coordinating Creative Collectives: A Discussion on the Unique Challenges and Opportunities"
When: Tuesday August 13, 1:15pm-2:45pm
Where: Swissotel Vevey 2
Who: John Paul Stephens (Case Western Reserve University), Justin Berg (University of Michigan), & Giada Baldessarelli (Stockholm School of Economics)
Link to Event: AOM 2024
There is much research on creative work groups and collectives' behaviors that enable creativity. The work of collectives coordinating for creativity offers a unique opportunity to find, redefine, and solve problems that could not happen without the collective (Hargadon & Bechky, 2006), but it also presents unique challenges when implementing ideas to create the final product. By incorporating insights from research on collective dynamics, such as coordination and routines, we can potentially address these challenges as well as open up new areas of inquiry. This session will convene scholars who are experts in one or both of the two constructs we will discuss: John Paul Stephens, Justin Berg, and Giada Baldessarelli. In this interactive and structured panel discussion, they will touch on the opportunities and tensions when incorporating insights from collective dynamics, coordination and routines, to creative work. Additionally, the discussion will explore the role of the organization and coordinating mechanisms in creative work and output over time and in relation to the consistency of that output for long-term success in creative work and fields.
This panel is organized by Kaleigh May (klm194@case.edu; Case Western Reserve University). No registration is required.
We look forward to seeing you there!
