“…Managers may strengthen the creative environment through IS supported ideation [Kerne et al, 2008;Massetti, 1996;Shneiderman, 2002] and virtual environments [Catmull, 2008;Faniel and Majchrzak, 2007;Leonardi, 2011]. In particular, GSSs, CSSs, and similar systems support employees in their creative endeavors [Massetti, 1996], and AI allows practitioners to explore and utilize the benefits of human-computer interaction for creative purposes [Andreichicov and Andreichicova, 2001].

“…The IS field is traditionally divided into two major camps, one drawing on design science and the other on natural or behavioral science [Hevner, March, Park, and Ram, 2004;March and Smith, 1995]. Benbasat and Weber [1996] have elaborated on this argument by distinguishing among four major reference disciplines [Benbasat and Weber, 1996], specifically, organizational science [Cooper, 2000], economic science [Hunton and Beeler, 1997;Zhu, Kraemer, Gurbaxani, and Xu, 2006], behavioral science [Massetti, 1996], and computer science [Andreichicov and Andreichicova, 2001]. Several other researchers have contributed to this debate [Oh et al, 2005;Swanson and Ramiller, 1993;Vessey, Ramesh, and Glass, 2002].…”

“…Other research points to the decline of creativity when support systems are used for analytical tasks [Durand and VanHuss, 1992]. AI-aided creativity has been among the research topics with regard to CSSs [Andreichicov and Andreichicova, 2001]. In relation to both CSSs and GSSs, such information systems have been shown to negate gender-based differences in groups with both males and females when developing novel and useful ideas.…”

“…Fagan [2004] and Jacucci and Wagner [2007] classify factors that influence the creative style and work climate of individuals and teams in IT departments. These are closely related to the factors influencing communication in the creative work environment [Tuikka and Kuutti, 2000;Zaman et al, 2010], e.g., how social Factors that influence the environment in creative IS organizations Bonnardel, 1999;Bruns, 2007;Elam and Mead, 1987;Fagan, 2004;Fischer, 1999;Jacucci and Wagner, 2007;Kohler, Fueller, Matzler, and Stieger, 2011;Marakas and Elam, 1997;Thatcher and Brown, 2010;Tuikka and Kuutti, 2000;Wakkary and Maestri, 2007;Zaman, Anandarajan, and Dai, 2010; Sosa, 2011 Software-based environment for creativity support, e.g., Creativity Support Systems (CSSs) or Group Support Systems (GSSs) Wierenga and van Bruggen, 1998;Vandenbosch and Huff, 1997;Shneiderman, 2002;Nakakoji, Yamamoto, and Ohira, 1999;Munemori and Nagasawa, 1996;Munemori and Nagasawa, 1991;Massetti, 1996;MacCrimmon and Wagner, 1994;Kletke, Mackay, Barr, and Jones, 2001;Klein and Dologite, 2000;Kerne, Koh, Smith, Webb, and Dworaczyk, 2008;Hori, 1994;Hailpern, Hinterbichler, Leppert, Cook, and Bailey, 2007;Elfvengren, Kortelainen, and Tuominen, 2009;Durand and VanHuss, 1992;Cheung, Chau, and Au, 2008;Andreichicov and Andreichicova, 2001;Aike...…”

“…It is surprising that 16 percent (14) of the articles draw on computer science which suggests a positive relationship between understanding creativity and transforming this knowledge into useable software designs that creative people may utilize during ideation processes. The future use of AI-aided creativity [Andreichicov and Andreichicova, 2001] especially offers great prospects and new possibilities for both researchers and practitioners in terms of exploring and utilizing the benefits of human-computer interaction for creative purposes. However, additional research within this area is needed.…”

In today's hypercompetitive environment in which markets change rapidly and competitive advantages are difficult to sustain, companies are forced to innovate and identify new business opportunities. However, innovation requires ingenuity and creativity. Product and service development depends on the creativity of employees, but harvesting and bringing novel ideas to fruition is often a chaotic process, which underscores the importance of creativity management within organizations. In this article, we review the literature on creativity in an effort to summarize state-of-the-art knowledge on how to stimulate creativity and spur innovation in modern organizations. For that purpose, we use Rhodes' 4-Ps model (1961) distinguishing between creative environments (called press), people, products, and processes. Through a review of 110 journals on the AIS journal list, this article offers insights-based on eighty-eight articles-into how creativity can be stimulated and supported by attending to each of these components. The literature teaches us how to utilize, evaluate, and strategize about creativity in organizational settings. Managers are advised to advance creativity and ideation processes, for example by building virtual environments that strengthen collaboration and creativity across organizational boundaries. Researchers are encouraged to investigate the relationship between strategy and information systems (IS) usage in fostering creativity.
