• Identificere og beskrive en organisatorisk problemstilling med psykologisk relevans inden for områderne kreativitet og innovation
• Begrunde valget af teori ved at udvise kendskab til, og beskrive deres placering i, kreativitetslitteraturen
• Kontrastere, integrere, og sammenligne relevante teorier og begreber inden for problemstillingens område, samt beskrive deres styrker og svagheder
• Diskutere og analysere problemstillingen ud fra et psykologisk perspektiv
• Opstille relevante kreativitetsfremmende løsninger i en organisatorisk kontekst

Faget omhandler psykologisk baserede forklaringsmodeller for (ledelse af) kreativitet og innovation i organisationer. Herunder især områderne (1) den kreative person, (2) det kreative miljø/klima, (3) den kreative proces, (4) det kreative produkt og markedsforståelser, samt (5) nyere diskussioner inden for kreativitetsforskning.

Fagets formål er at udvikle de studerendes forståelse for, hvad der karakteriserer psykologiske tilgange til kreativitet og innovation i organisationer. Den ’psykologiske tilgang’ indbefatter, at der primært sigtes imod teoretiske kreativitetsmodeller, der omhandler (ledelse af) processen, individet, gruppen eller afdelingen, og kun i mindre grad indbefatter strategiske overvejelser på organisatorisk niveau. De studerende skal opnå kompetencer i at analysere konkrete problemstillinger vedrørende kreativitet i organisationer, anvende teoretiske værktøjer til at belyse disse, samt opstille løsninger til fremme af kreativiteten og evaluere resultatet.
