BAM, L.  e  VLOK, P.J.. Towards a framework for systemic creativity in engineering organisations. S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.2, pp.95-108. ISSN 2224-7890.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7166/27-2-1288.

This article builds on earlier research that made the case for developing a framework to ensure increased, sustained, creative activity in engineering organisations. A milestone in the development of such a framework is the identification of the elements of creativity that need to be considered. This research reviews the literature on the systems perspective on creativity to identify seven elements of creativity that have been proposed in the literature. A literature review on each of these seven elements is presented to (i) determine whether the element should be included in the framework; (ii) define the element for the purpose of the framework; and (iii) determine whether any author proposes an aspect of creativity that cannot be accommodated under one of the seven elements as they have been defined here.
