Decision Making: Social and Creative Dimensions by Carl Martin Allwood, Marcus Selart

Decision making has been a classic topic of academic research and applied practice. This edited volume by Allwood and Selart continues important recent trends. First, the chapters extend the traditional conceptualization of decision making as an individual cognitive process that is structured in space and time. Second, the book collects multidisciplinary, multimethod, and multicountry voices and approaches, mixing theoretical and practical issues, conceptual frameworks, and empirical studies. The editors state the major goal as "to give recognition to the fact that human decision making typically occurs in changing, dynamic, social contexts, and that researchers interested in decision making in a social context therefore will benefit by considering the relation between creativity and decision making" (p. 10).

Improvisation is not necessarily creativity. It's just being easy with the tools dixit Birsher.

And so what would I say: being easy with tools allows more spontaneous thoughts, and reinventing the tool is not necessary to reinvent the artistic expression.
My definition of an artist is very broad and embraces theories like Dubuffet formulated, everyone is an artist as long as everyone expresses himself or at least is able to express himself through any activity as long as it is guided by a personal might, if there is expression or creation there is an artist following his insight.

World has become more complex, and more people express themselves through easy learning and affordable appliances. So then much more ideas emerge from this complexity.

Why so few researches have been conducted upon creativity?(Issue discussed in the article the common thread on creativity)
Hypothesis: Until not so far ago the education of society was guided by a bigger need of intelligence than of creativity, the pattern of a traditional society praised the force of one model from which, through competition, an elite could emerge. Creativity presented a danger of reforging the society attacked in its first basis, its criteria of judgement of good and bad.

Submerged by human expression?
The world is now guided by economic rules, and the conditions for survival are themselves kept by creativity and brightness of ideas. Considered to the global scale and compounded with the new abilities for masses to come up with ideas and to display them, it leads to a submersion of human creations, and possibly fastens the human ideas evolution?
