“…Management: Hay un llamado a estudiar el problema de la convertibilidad de la creatividad en productividad (Sussan, Kim, Chinta, & Enriquez, 2017), los estudios empíricos que analizan las capacidades para gestionar la creatividad (Arora, 2016) y los factores organizacionales, los sistemas de valores o las prácticas de gestión (Elia et al, 2017).

En gestión, hay un llamado a estudiar el problema de convertir la creatividad en productividad (Sussan et al, 2017), así como estrategias de innovación abierta (Balan, 2017), usos de plataforma en línea (Walsh et al, 2017) o plataformas ERP (Okanga, 2017), como apoyo a los procesos creativos.
