148 - Regular Session. Economic Sociology. Creativity in Economic Life
Sun, August 23, 8:30 to 10:10am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session
Abstract
Economic sociology often looks at innovation but less so at the more general and not always profit-making phenomenon of creativity. One can however find creativity in the working life of ordinary people, professionals, and in many other groups of people, and typically with different results. Some social structures encourage creativity in economic life, while others discourage it.
