suggests that in order to spark creativity, organizations should emphasize individualistic
norms and individual achievement. He co-edited the book Research on Managing Groups and Teams: Creativity in Groups (vol. 12). His research has been published in Organizational Behavior and Human
Decision Processes, Management Science, Psychological Science, Journal of Experimental
Social Psychology and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. It has also
