Citations in the corpus

• The Role of Openness to Cognitive Diversity and Group Processes in Knowledge Creation (2009, background): “The rigorous discussion of conflicting position and alternative perspectives overcomes conformity pressures and, through this, eliminates an important barrier to the generation of creative ideas (Nemeth, 1986; Nemeth & Ormiston, 2007).”
• Team Reflexivity as an Antidote to Team Information-Processing Failures (2014, background): “Research by Nemeth and Ormiston (2007) indicated that teams with stable membership (as opposed to changing memberships) showed increased comfort and perception of creativity in idea generation, but not actual creative behavior.”
• Team Receptivity to Newcomers: Five Decades of Evidence and Future Research Themes (2013, background): “…newcomer arrival, such as the experience of team conflict (O’Connor, Gruenfeld, & Mcgrath, 1993), team cohesiveness (Arrow & McGrath, 1993), team comfort (Nemeth & Ormiston, 2007), the quality of team interactions (Phillips et al., 2009), and team social integration (Van der Vegt et al., 2010).”
• Win or Lose the Battle for Creativity: The Power and Perils of Intergroup Competition (2010, background): “Thus, we suggest that groups exchanging a member with a competing group may have difficulty harvesting the creative benefits typically (i.e., under noncompetitive conditions) associated with membership change (Choi & Thompson, 2005; Nemeth & Ormiston, 2007; Ziller, Behringer, & Goodchilds, 1962).”
• Beyond productivity loss in brainstorming groups: The evolution of a question (2010, background): “Second, Nemeth and Ormiston (2007) had groups perform two idea-generation sessions.”
