Integrating laboratory paradigms and ethnographic field studies for advancing analyses of creative processes

Abstract

This symposium responds to calls for an integration of invivo and in-vitro methods when studying how people tackle complex, open-ended issues in the areas of creativity, design, and innovation. Bringing together expertise from multiple perspectives and methodological backgrounds we explore fruitful ways towards integrative approaches to analyzing creative processes and practices. The theme is addressed from theoretical and practical viewpoints.
