Creativity Under Constraints is a theoretical framework within organizational creativity that explains how cognitive and organizational innovation emerges through the systematic navigation and utilization of imposed limitations, distinguishing it from general creativity models by emphasizing constraint-induced problem-solving as a generative rather than inhibitive force.
