Abstract :
THE SEARCH for fundamental knowledge of how organizations innovate continues. Many factors contributing to and detracting from individual and organizational “creativity” and innovation have been explored in the literature. For example, these articles in the Transactions have explored various facets of the problem: Kaplan (March 1960); Marples (June 1961); Taylor, Smith and Ghiselin (December 1961); Mansfield, Jones, and Arnold (June 1962); Goldberg (March 1963); Mullins and Cherian (June 1963); Gordon (December 1963); Pelz (March 1964); Rubenstein (September 1964); and Allen and Marquis (December 1964).
