Construing creativity: The how and why of recognizing creative ideas (2014, background): “The bulk of creativity literature has examined how creative ideas are generated (for a review see George, 2007), with relatively less emphasis on how creative ideas are selected (cf, West, 2002).”
Individual ambidexterity: the duality of exploration and exploitation and its relationship with innovative performance (2017, background): “Individual innovation requires the engagement in contradictory activities (Miron-Spektor, Erez, & Naveh, 2011; West, 2002a) that can be broadly described as divergent and convergent.”
The influence of leadership on product and process innovations in China: The contingent role of knowledge acquisition capability (2015, background): “Despite the significant influence of leadership on innovation, the single lens of upper echelon theory cannot fully explain the dynamics of innovation (Crossan & Apaydin, 2010;West, 2002).”
Crowdsourcing New Product Ideas over Time: An Analysis of the Dell IdeaStorm Community (2013, background): “However, much less is known about whether consumers are effective in selecting ideas that can be implemented (West 2002, Rietzschel et al. 2010).”
Time pressure and team member creativity within R&D projects: The role of learning orientation and knowledge sourcing (2017, background): “Indeed, creativity is focused on the generation of novel ideas (Amabile, 1988), whereas innovation represents the successful implementation of creative ideas within R&D team projects (West, 2002).”
A Critical Analysis of the Workplace Creativity Criterion Space (2012, background): “With the prevalence of emotional resistance often faced during implementation (West, 2002), consideration of the emotional reactions or resistance of stakeholders may be beneficial to consider as a dimension of COE.”
Individual and contextual determinants of innovative work behaviour: Proactive goal generation matters (2014, background): “Because of today’s uncertainty, instability and turbulence regarding the economic environment, employee innovativeness has become crucial for organizational success and competitiveness (West, 2002).”
A Dialectic Perspective on Innovation: Conflicting Demands, Multiple Pathways, and Ambidexterity (2009, background): “In general, idea creation processes tend to be emphasized in the beginning, whereas implementation processes are more prevalent in the final stages of an innovation project (West, 2002b).”
