RESEARCH INTERESTS

Creativity, design, innovation, and constraints.  Problem definition, idea generation and idea selection; new product development teams; decision making; cognitive style; organizational culture; group norms; conflict and diversity; innovation in service industries, design thinking.

My research interests lie at the intersection of creativity, decision-making and culture with an emphasis on the ways in which the social environment shapes our strategies for generating and evaluating new ideas.  I see creativity as a strategic process through we we not only solve problems and design new innovations, but we also seek to gain acceptance, status, and power.
