Research in creativity and GSS

Abstract

Recent IS literature points to a growing interest in the subject of creativity. After some isolated attempts in the 1980's by researchers, systematic efforts by Couger (1996) and others have yielded much useful creativity research in the 1990s pertinent to the field of information systems. Much less work relevant to creativity has been done in the topic area of group support systems (GSS); we review this research and prepare the ground for stimulating more extensive studies.
