An Interdisciplinary Approach to Building Creativity Skills among MBA Students

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

A key input to creativity is an ability to bring multiple perspectives to bear on a problem. When tasked with developing a curriculum to develop creativity skills in a new MBA program, we took this characteristic literally. In order to provide multiple perspectives to the students, three faculty members, from a mix of Arts & Sciences and Business disciplines, came together to teach creativity and innovation. Every aspect of the class was planned and executed together, from exercises to assignments to feedback. The faculty members involved were not shy about challenging each other, and the atmosphere of reasonable disagreement led to students who were more willing to challenge each other, and the faculty. This enriched the experience for all involved and resulted in a class wherein the students were able to discover true innovation.
