CREATE - ET

Team creativity in a foreign language context

Does the language in which we work influence our creativity?

THE IDEA BEHIND THE PROJECT

Due to globalization, organizations increasingly operate in multinational environments. In light of digitization and automation, human creativity has become an irreplaceable a key driver of innovation. Both trends together cause that more and more people work in English-speaking teams to perform creative work.

BUT WHAT EFFECTS DOES an English-speaking CONTEXT HAVE ON CREATIVITY IN TEAMS? This fundamental research question is investigated within the JOINT PROJECT "CREATE-ET" BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY OF TRIER AND ESCP EUROPE BERLIN. The project isFUNDED BY THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (BMBF) WITHIN THE INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY ANALYSIS (ITA).
