“…Studies support the idea that the combination and reorganization of extant knowledge is used to generate new ideas or novel problem solutions, as demonstrated in the historic study of scientific revolutions (Kuhn, 1970), but do not tell us how people go about combining and reorganizing existing concepts. However, a study by Mobley, Doares and Mumford (1992), provides some clues about the nature of the combination and reorganization process. They argue that knowledge structures reflect a categorical organization of facts and principles (Barsalou, 1983;Fleishman & Mumford, 1989;Owen & Sweller, 1985).…”

In the present psychology-informed literature review we address some aspects of the nature of creativity from cognitive and confluence perspectives. The authors begin by discussing models of creativity offered by cognitive and confluence approaches, focusing on the transition from univariate to multivariate models. The article explores what these literatures suggest about factors that can influence creativity, including cognitive conative and environmental ones. The article goes on to present the overlaps and distinctiveness between creativity and innovation and the vexed question of the evaluation of creativity exploring two contrasting stances of psychometric and componential approaches. The review concludes by acknowledging the complexity of the phenomenon of creativity explored here mainly through cognitive and confluence lenses touching on psychometric and social-personality approaches, and recognizes the potential of other lenses in psychology such as psychodynamic, humanistic and evolutionary, for understanding creativity.Keywords: creativity, cognitive, confluence, complexity. Received La naturaleza de la creatividad: perspectivas cognitivas y confluencia ResumenEn la presente revisión de la literatura acerca de la psicología informativa abordamos algunos aspectos de la naturaleza de la creatividad desde perspectivas cognitivas y de confluencia. Los autores comienzan hablando de modelos de creatividad obtenidos por enfoques cognitivos y de confluencia, centrándose en la transición de modelos univariados a multivariados. El artí-culo explora en la literatura que se sugiere acerca de los factores que pueden influir en la creatividad, incluyendo la cognitiva conativa y la relacionada al medio ambiente. Luego presentamos las similitudes y diferencias entre la creatividad y la innovación, y la controvertida cuestión acerca de la evaluación de la creatividad, explorando dos posturas contrapuestas; los enfoques psicométricos y componenciales. Esta revisión concluye reconociendo la complejidad del fenómeno de la creatividad explorado aquí principalmente a través de una mirada cognitiva y de confluencia, tocando los enfoques psicométricos y sociales de la personalidad, y reconoce el potencial de otras miradas de la psicología, como la psicodinámica, la humanistica y la evolucionaria, para entender la creatividad.

Collective ideation within the context of science and technology parks and regional economic clusters

A central element in the theory of clustering is the idea that physical clustering of businesses within specialized sectors is a source for regional economic growth. The spatial proximity of companies and institutions within related industries create a specific setting in which learning, knowledge sharing and mutual competition are encouraged. Additionally, active participation within the innovation eco-system of a Science & Technology Park provides actors access to knowledge, facilities and complementary contacts and network structures. Collective ideation helps an organization to improve the positioning within the technological field and economic market, especially within an innovation ecosystem because actors are dependent on each other's behaviour to be successful in innovation. This research focuses on the question how to design the collective ideation process in particular to foster interactions within the context of a science & technology parks? This research is based on semi-structured interviews, conducted at all development stages (idea, startup, grow and mature) of Dutch science & technology parks with stakeholders from different perspectives, based on the triple-helix structure (government, industry, research). The study describes how multiple stakeholders benefit from collective ideation, what mechanisms and tools are used in practice and also describes prerequisites and limitations of collective ideation.

Opportunity, discovery and creativity: A critical realist perspective

In this article we draw upon the philosophy of critical realism to reflect upon and offer a resolution to two issues concerning discovery processes and opportunity development. First, paradoxes in the relationship between opportunity discovery and creativity are identified and explained. Second, the question of how to investigate opportunities is discussed and a solution informed by critical realism is presented, whereby three new types of discovery are identified and defined for empirical investigation. Using critical realism to augment entrepreneurial opportunity theory we propose that discovery processes have significance beyond discovery theory and can be considered revealing for theories of opportunity development more generally. We conclude with conceptual and practical comment on the importance of ontological theorising for entrepreneurship.
