The following paper will analyze the positive as well as negative impacts of creativity and innovation management on organizational structures. In doing so, the necessary terminology and definitions of concepts and terms of economics and organizational creativity are introduced. Based upon this background, positive and negative arguments are delivered.
The positive argumentation will be characterized by argumentation deriving from concepts of diversity and intersections. It will be concluded that these aspects foster the mutual adjustment that generates net value. The negative arguments build upon this argumentation and point out the dangers of creative abrasion, conflict and organizational risk. The conclusion will show that, while creativity inherently entails the risk of economic inefficiency, it fosters communicative potentials within an organizational structure that can lead to an increase in value.
