Journalistic innovation has evolved into a complex scene with numerous actors and perspectives involved. While scholars have typically focused on business models, structures, consumers and interlopers (Eldridge 2014), interlopers (Eldridge 2015) or those outside or within journalism who challenge it from either within or without are increasingly receiving attention for challenging workflows and professional norms – this article explores some of the variables driving this phenomenon.
1. Creativity
Creativity is the ability to generate new ideas and solutions, often associated with innovation, which involves turning those concepts into tangible products or services that meet customer demands while creating new opportunities for expansion. Creativity can play an essential role in business by meeting customer demands while opening up doors for expansion and creating growth potential.
Creativity has evolved throughout history. Aristotle believed that creation came from divine inspiration, while this belief began to shift during the Renaissance when people started seeing creativity as coming from within themselves rather than divine intervention. Part of this shift can be attributed to humanism – an intellectual movement with an intensely personal outlook on the world and belief in people’s unique creative capacities.
Recently, researchers have used brain imaging technology to study what happens when people engage in creative acts. Their studies revealed that creativity is an intricate cognitive activity requiring many skills and mental processes; additionally it’s highly dynamic in its effect upon environment factors.
Many scholars have asserted that creativity and innovation are the cornerstones of competitive advantage for firms. Furthermore, creativity depends heavily on leadership – creating a culture of creativity can bring about significant improvements to organizational structure, strategy, technology, culture changes that increase productivity levels across an organization.
2. Social connections
Innovation that succeeds can quickly grow into something much larger, spreading like wildfire from its initial concept to other areas of life and industries. But before this can take place, its idea must first pass through our social networks for verification to see whether or not its adoption gains momentum.
Social Innovation refers to the practice of devising ideas to address social problems through creative ideas that require multi-actor perspectives and collaboration among various actors within an ecosystem environment [35]. This method offers a more complete framework for technological development while emphasizing networking among stakeholder in driving innovations forward.
Business professionals rely on strong social connections, not only to strike deals but also to connect them with those necessary for the success of projects. Big qualitative data collection and analysis has become increasingly relevant, providing for efficient capture of large volumes of qualitative information in an efficient manner.
Examining an intricate topic such as arts engagement and feelings of social connectedness requires an in-depth investigation, since this method allows for identification of multiple themes across many respondents – such as conversing about art, forming new relationships and alleviating social interactions – revealing how arts engagement supports and creates social connection both directly and indirectly.
3. Experience
Experience is one of the most widely debated concepts in philosophy and an engaging topic for multidisciplinary study. This can be explained by its central role in human life as well as its many potential meanings.
Perception can be defined broadly as any conscious event that produces perceptions or practical knowledge and familiarity; additionally it includes how those perceptions connect to real world objects – though that category could include hallucinations or dreams as well.
Phenomenological literature offers an in-depth view of experience that refers to sensory awareness and how items appear within it, in contrast to biological or psychological perspectives which focus on exchanging matter and energy within neural networks.
Experience can be used in multiple ways to foster business innovation. Interdisciplinary research on the subject suggests a four-layer model: attention in sensing, categorization in perceiving, meaning in reflecting and transformation in creating. This structure helps professionals better comprehend recursive interactions that may exist between form and process of their client experiences and creating effective strategies to best use resources and skills currently available for improving the overall quality of results.
4. Knowledge
Knowledge is a potency factor in innovation; the deeper its scope, the greater its effect. An increase in depth of knowledge can help enterprises better comprehend their technologies from an expert standpoint and reduce mismatches among product development subsystems. Furthermore, knowledge can serve as a springboard for enterprise innovation by encouraging cross-disciplinary collaborations and increasing absorptive capacity of enterprises.
Knowledge and power have an intricate relationship. Scholars have noted that knowledge encompasses more than just beliefs that track with truth – knowledge includes degree of certainty with which a belief can be held by an individual, such as being confident they know all the answers on a test but uncertain if those answers are actually accurate. With such a broad definition of knowledge comes several methods for measuring it such as answering a question with 100% accuracy or knowing exactly which answers come next in a series.
Recent research has examined the effect of knowledge power on enterprise breakthrough innovation by analyzing its roles as mediator and moderator during boundary-spanning search, and absorptive capacity. They conclude that an enterprise with greater expertise can leverage cooperative rules formation to maintain relationships with innovation partners more smoothly while broadening its ability to acquire heterogeneous knowledge resources more widely.
