Abstract: Collaborative circles theory explains how innovative small groups develop and win acceptance of their creative work but assumes a single type of circle and would benefit from considering how circles are affected by the strategic action fields in which they operate. We do so by synthesizing research on art, science, philosophy, and social movements to identify five field characteristics that influence circles and their creative potentials (i.e., attention space, consensus, social control, resources, and organiz… Show more

“…And, finally, the causal arrow may run in the opposite direction: perhaps a substantial degree of intellectual and interpersonal similarity is necessary to sustain and hold together a collaboration with many members (cf. Farrell 2001;Parker and Corte 2017). Components of the complex concept "size" and components of the complex concept "diversity" may have distinctive relationships with one another.…”

“…The structure and dynamics of synthesis collaborations may ease the challenges of interdisciplinary and cross-institutional research (Leahey et al 2017;Cummings and Kiesler, 2008), and account for the exceptional quality and impact of research expected to emerge from synthesis centers. Several years of ethnographic observation (Hackett et al, 2008;Hackett and Parker, 2016), quantitative analyses of working group characteristics and performance (Hampton and Parker, 2010), and a pilot study using sociometric sensors (Parker et al, 2018) showed that synthesis center collaborations produced group characteristics that correspond to conditions that promote individual and collective creativity (Amabile, 2013;Parker and Corte 2017 called "peer review on the fly") accelerating the creative process without rending the group, and rapid oscillation from constructive (brainstorming) modes of exchange to critical (evaluative review) of ideas, models, and data (Hackett and Parker 2016).…”

“…Systems biology is just one example of a SIM that articulates a specific choreography, and further research into the spatial dimensions of SIMs will certainly add new movements to the dance. Most importantly, and as creativity connects the arts and sciences, SIMs theory also goes beyond these boundaries and can be equally useful when analysing artistic movements and to come to a comparative understanding (see also Parker and Corte, 2017). As such, the spatiality of SIMs theory could be used to trace movements in both arts and science, two domains in which the creation of space for creativity is crucial.…”

“…Reciprocity. Reciprocity, the giving of gifts to another in return for gifts received, is also a distance-reducing mechanism between any two parties involved in a social exchange [43]. As Sherry [44, p. 158] observed, "The giving of gifts can be used to shape and reflect social integration (i.e., membership in a group) or social distance (i.e., relative intimacy of relationships)."…”

“…Reciprocity, the giving of gifts to another in return for gifts received, is also a distance-reducing mechanism between any two parties involved in a social exchange [ 43 ]. As Sherry [ 44 , p. 158] observed, “The giving of gifts can be used to shape and reflect social integration (i.e., membership in a group) or social distance (i.e., relative intimacy of relationships).” Accordingly, we created the reciprocity variable that “captures the extent to which jury members reward projects whose members were jurors in the past and who–in that role–had rewarded one or more of the current jury members” [ 4 , p. 897].…”
