Description

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Freie Universität Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Environment, both social and institutional, plays nearly the main part in establishment of creativity in the company. It exists on every enterprise and can serve as the base for spreading the ideas and attitudes to work among the staff, especially in the hands of experienced leaders. Technology in terms of our topic is an educational element in the system of management. Openness and Diversity represent the collective of the company, when different people, sometimes employees of different positions and statuses are open for communication and equal collaboration in the name of the firm’s progress and prosperity. And of course the main part in creativity is Human Capital. They are part of the environment, they can alter the environment and together in cooperation they can create innovative ideas. Usually human capital is most flexible and therefore most creative at the time of the company’s start up, when there is no gap between the leaders of the company and the other staff. Leaders think globally and with their own example infect the ordinary staff in close communication with ideas and with the need to innovate. But with the company’s growth, the amount of the staff grows, there appears the middle layer – managers, who become the connecting link between the leaders of the firm and the staff, and the feeling of unity usually weakens and finally disappears. After analyzing information about how creational the management system of big market players is we found that not every company’s creational environment can fight the crisis of becoming a solid corporation. Information technology in its turn is the field which has more opportunities for innovation and creation than any other due to the fact that it is a new and still developing sphere. That is why we were interested to study an example of a company dealing with a more traditional field where usually success means to follow a prevailing standard. Now we can conclude that creative management can be achieved with the help of two nearly opposite and a little bit contradictive approaches. And we can call them Western-American approach and Eastern-Japanese one. Both have the right to exist and be implemented, both can bring impressive results. The difference between them is in where to put them into practice. Each cultural and geographical environment has the prerequisites to chose one or another depending on which is closer to their mentality: the examples of Google Way or the Toyota Way.
