Methods and tools of stimulating creativity in the chosen Polish administration offices- results of the survey
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Management - Year 2011, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
The article hereafter is an attempt to respond to the question if the growing interest in the concept of innovation results in practical implementation of creativity tools in the field of pro-quality activities of offices of administration, of the government and local ones. The results of the empirical research conducted in 2009 and 2010 allowed to draw conclusions concerning creativity techniques. It stems from them that the Surveyed have not pointed out any of tools which could be found in the group of tools used the most often. Offices of administration representing 'The Best of the Best' declared that in the named period there are two methods which have been used quite often, namely classic brainstorming and its variations. The rest of tools of creativity have been perceived as the ones used rarely or very rarely in practice. It is worth noticing that the students of economics and administration not always have had a chance to encounter other tools during their education which can be the cause of their lack of usage in practice. The respondents admit that tools of creativity are used most often by them in the field of quality management and then in organization and management, less often in HR, information or services, seldom in marketing and finance. The rest of the domains are the spots of a very inconsiderable implementation of tools of creativity. The author hopes that drawing attention to the array of utilized tools and domains of their implementation will give in practice clues for employees of offices and will enrich their knowledge in this range.
