Title

Innovation And Evolution: Managing Tensions Within And Between The Domains Of Theory And Practice

Keywords

Creativity; Domain; Evolution; Innovation; Tensions

Abstract

Innovation occurs when individuals produce novel solutions, and members of the relevant domain adopt it as a valuable variation of current practice. At the individual level, creative or innovative actions are adoptive responses to tensions between the person and situation. In domains such as the arts or sciences, person-situation tensions are best resolved by favoring novelty, whereas in domains such as business, the same tensions are best resolved by favoring value. We employ a neo-evolutionary view of creativity to propose that these within domains tensions create intractable tensions between domains.
