HUMA 1745 Chapter 10 Notes – Summary
Introduction
What About Ethics in Decision Making?
• A 2012 study showed that most people have a bias against accepting creative ideas
because ideas create uncertainty.
• When people feel uncertain, their ability to see any idea as creative is blocked.
• We can define creative outcomes as ideas or solutions judged to be novel and useful by
relevant stakeholders.
• Novelty itself does not generate a creative outcome if it is not useful.
• Thus, off-the-all solutios are reatie ol if the help sole the prole.
• The usefulness of the solution might be self-evident (for example, the iPad), or it might
be considered successful by stakeholders before the actual success can be known.
• An organization may harvest many creative ideas from its employees and call itself
innovative.
• Hoeer, as oe epert reetl stated, Ideas are useless uless used.
• Soft skills help translate ideas into results.
• A 2012 study found that among employees of a large agribusiness company, creative
ideas were most likely to be implemented when the individual was motivated to
translate the idea into practice—and when he or she had strong networking ability.
• Another important factor is organizational climate
• A 2013 study of health care teams found that team creativity translated into innovation
only when the climate actively supported innovation.
• These studies highlight an important fact
• Creative ideas do not implement themselves
• Translating them into creative outcomes is a social process that requires use of other
concepts addressed, including power and politics leadership and motivation
