Unit Name: Mobilising Creativity and
Innovation
|
Unit Code: SHR044-6 (Europe and Oman)
|
Task:
In this unit we consider many
alternative approaches and perspectives on how organisational creativity and
innovation might be promoted or blocked in practice across multiple levels:
individual, group and organisation. Assignment 1 is specifically concerned with
promoting individual creativity as it contributes to the innovation
process.
1. You are required to critically evaluate individual creativity in the
context of your workplace, firstlythrough the identification of individual
blocks that inhibit the process, and secondly you will need to consider which
of the alternative approaches is most relevant in this context as an
intervention designed to promote individual creativity and innovation.
2. You will then need to demonstrate a systematic
understanding and critical appreciation of the process of creativity and
innovation drawing on contemporary theories to support your evaluation and
synthesis.
3. You will develop a plan to promote individual creative thinking in your work organisation with a
view to enhancing innovation. You will need to include an in-depth literature
review critically evaluating alternative contemporary perspectives in order to
draw meaningful conclusions and develop feasible recommendations.
4. You will present your
analysis and plan in report format of approximately 1500 words excluding
references and appendices.
5. In the unlikely event
that your work organisation prevents adequate analysis, the UK Tutor can agree
an alternative.
You are not permitted to
use a case study of your own choice unless approved in advance by the UK
tutor.Use of an unapproved alternative
case study will result in failure of the assignment.
A
random sample of students will be invited for a viva voce to confirm
authenticity.
You will need to demonstrate achievement of the
