“…Collaborative ideation or creativity is an important factor in the innovative progress of organizations and countries, and for the past 30 years much research has focused on this process (Paulus and Nijstad, 2003, 2019; Puccio, 2017; Graesser et al, 2018; Paulus et al, 2018; Reiter-Palmon, 2018). Much of the past research has focused almost exclusively on the divergent processes that contribute to idea generation (Cropley, 2006; McMahon et al, 2016).…”

We examined the impact of task-relevant expertise level in groups on the idea sharing and elaboration process and on idea development. Participants were assigned to low, heterogeneous, and high expertise groups and were asked to generate ideas for the development of a new sport. Following two asynchronous divergent ideation phases using an electronic discussion board for ideational exchanges, groups completed a synchronous convergent discussion phase in which they selected and refined their ideas for a new sport. The number of ideas and their novelty during the divergent phase did not influence the outcome of the convergent phase. However, consistent with our theoretical model final product novelty was influenced by the number and novelty of the replies in the divergent phase. Although group expertise level was associated with various performance outcomes in the divergent ideation phase, it did not impact the novelty of the final product. Low expertise groups demonstrated the most novelty in the divergent phase. Final product novelty was also associated with sports words used in discussions during the convergent phase.

“…Since sensorimotor synchronization can be conceived as a basic cross-domain process, by testing its impact on dyadic creative performance, we could pave the way for designing new creativity-enhancing trainings, which can be potentially implementable into different domains, such as in the organizational field in which this topic is still emerging (e.g., Rouse, 2018). That is, if preliminary evidence exists regarding how to promote group creativity in organizational setting (Shalley et al, 2004; Anderson et al, 2014; Paulus et al, 2018), far less clear is how to promote dyadic creativity into organizations (e.g., Rouse, 2018).…”

Effects of Interpersonal Sensorimotor Synchronization on Dyadic Creativity: Gender Matters

et al. 2019

Although it is noted that interpersonal sensorimotor coordination can influence several high-level socio-cognitive processes, its impact on creative collaboration is nearly unexplored. Here, we investigated the effects of a form of sensorimotor coordination, that is, sensorimotor synchronization, on a subsequent creative collaboration task. 60 pairs (n total = 120 participants) formed by previously unacquainted individuals performed a tower-building task either jointly or alone, followed by a dyadic creativity task. Tower building time in the joint condition was recorded through a sensorized platform and creativity performance was evaluated by two independent raters based on the quantity and quality of generated ideas. We controlled for gender composition and for the disposition to cooperate and to adopt a creative, analytical style. Results showed that male-male couples were more creative after the joint-action condition, whereas female-female and mixed-gender couples were more creative after the solo condition. Regression analyses of tower building time on creativity performance revealed that building time was a significant predictor of creativity dimensions in male-male and in mixed-gender couples but did not predict creative performance in female-female couples. Overall, these findings suggest that the manipulation of sensorimotor coordination can influence performance in a subsequent creative collaboration task, with the nature, and magnitude of this effect depending on the gender composition of the dyads. These results have potential implications for the design of sensorimotor-based strategies to enhance dyadic creative performance in several contexts, especially for the organizational settings.

This study is about the port planning under deep uncertainty using the framework of Scenario Based-Adaptive Port Planning (SB-APP). The framework gives sequential workflow on designing the future masterplan of the port. The alternative layouts and adaptive actions are some important outcomes of the framework. The port has to realize that uncertainties persevere and are very likely to influence the decision making for future planning. Instead of ignoring uncertainties, the port needs to make contingency planning to deal with them. This study has benefits to make a robust terminal masterplan of the port.
