Abstract
"The world we are living in is changing and developing at an unprecedented speed. The fast development of modern technology, the huge impact of knowledge and technology on everyday life and business, and the increasingly dependent global markets have posed more and more challenges to organizations, which cannot be solved by individuals alone. In such a world, the importance of team and team creativity cannot be stressed enough. The current speech focuses on team creativity and how to foster it. It starts with the definitions and distinctions between teams and groups as well as creativity and innovation. Secondly, it reviews the literature of diversity and creativity/innovation, stressing the tactful trade-off of the double-edge effect of diversity on creativity/innovation in designing and implementing creative projects using teams composed of members of diverse backgrounds. Thirdly, it reviews and summarizes the interdisciplinary and intercultural approach that the University of Applied Management (UAM), Germany, applies over the years in its research and training practice aiming at fostering creativity at the team level. In this part, concrete examples of curriculum design, teaching activities, learning processes, measures of project management & quality assurance, and the results of evaluation studies (qualitative and quantitative; follow-up studies) will be reported. The whole speech is structured around a VICTORY model, which focuses on team (T) and synthesizes motivational (O), attitudinal/emotional (Y), cognitive (V, I, C) and sociocultural elements (R)."
