Creativity Under Fire: The Effects of Competition on Creative Production Daniel P. Gross∗ Harvard Business School and NBER December 30, 2018 Forthcoming at The Review of Economics and Statistics Abstract: Though fundamental to innovation and essential to many industries and occupations, individual creativity has received limited attention as an economic behavior and has historically proven difficult to study. This paper studies the incentive effects of competition on individuals' creative production. Using a sample of commercial logo design competitions, and a novel, content-based measure of originality, I find that intensi- fying competition induces agents to produce original, untested ideas over tweaking their earlier work, but heavy competition drives them to stop investing altogether. The results yield lessons for the management of creative workers and for the implementation of competitive procurement mechanisms for innovation. JEL Classification: D81, M52, M55, O31, O32 Keywords: Creativity; Incentives; Tournaments; Competition; Radical vs. incremental innovation ∗Address: Harvard Business School, Soldiers Field Road, Boston, MA 02163, USA; email: [email protected].

  • How Small Businesses Master the Art of Competition Through Superior Competitive Advantage
    121156 – Journal of Management and Marketing Research How small businesses master the art of competition through superior competitive advantage Martin S. Bressler Southeastern Oklahoma State University ABSTRACT Identifying and developing sustainable competitive advantage could be considered one of the most critical activities for a new business venture. The process can often be challenging to the typical small business owner, as the process can often be both difficult and time consuming. Developing competitive advantage can be especially demanding for small and new emerging businesses operating in industries where many other businesses already compete. Unfortunately, some new entrepreneurs lack an understanding of the process and/or fail to recognize the importance of developing sustainable competitive advantage for their business venture. In some instances, new business ventures neglect securing a market position where the business could have reasonable chance for success. In some cases, a business will struggle to compete with bigger competitors while focusing on price, while other businesses believe that the key to business success is to open their business and customers will rush to purchase their products and services. In this paper, the author examines significant research findings on small business strategy and offers a model approach that could enable business owners to better utilize business resources and strengths to increase their likelihood of success.

    TRUSTEES OF FORBES LIBRARY Meeting of April 18, 2012 Present: Ms. Burnham, Mr. Carrier, Ms. Downing, Ms. Hess, Mr. Rowe, Mr. Morin, Ms. Moulding, Ms. Sheirer, Mr. Twarog. Also Present: Mr. Chuck Patterson and Mr. Joshua Paul of Bartholomew Inc.; Dee Michel, observer for the Friends of Forbes Library; Stephanie Levine, representative of the Forbes Library Employee Association (FLEA). Absent: none. The meeting was called to order at 3:50 PM in the Community Room in Forbes Library. Bartholomew Inc. Report Mr. Patterson introduced himself and Mr. Paul who presented the Forbes Library Investment Strategy Report dated April 18, 2012, giving background information on Bartholomew Inc. and an overview of the economy over the past year. It has been a volatile year with global events causing rises and drops in the market. The 4th quarter of 2011 ended up on a positive trend which was carried over into the 1st quarter of 2012. The economy appears to have stabilized and the market has gained some traction. The stock market indices are up over the last year, but bonds have not performed as well. The Forbes portfolio is about 54% equities (stocks), 31% fixed income (bonds), 11.5% alternatives consisting of a combination of asset types, 3% specific sectors, and 1% cash. These percentages will vary in relationship to the target allocation percentages due to market and portfolio fluctuations. In response to a question from Mr. Rowe, Mr. Paul said that he chooses funds based on their consistency and 3-5 year performance numbers, not the most recent 1 year. There are no charges to buy or sell positions since Forbes is a fee based account, which gives Mr.

  • The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle
    The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle By Stefan Johannes Al A dissertation submitted in the partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor Greig Crysler Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Southworth Fall 2010 The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle © 2010 by Stefan Johannes Al Abstract The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle by Stefan Johannes Al Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Over the past 70 years, various actors have dramatically reconfigured the Las Vegas Strip in many forms. I claim that behind the Strip’s “reinventions” lies a process of symbolic destruction. Since resorts distinguish themselves symbolically, each new round of capital accumulation relies on the destruction of symbolic capital of existing resorts. A new resort either ups the language within a paradigm, or causes a paradigm shift, which devalues the previous resorts even further. This is why, in the context of the Strip, buildings have such a short lifespan. This dissertation is chronologically structured around the four building booms of new resort construction that occurred on the Strip. Historically, there are periodic waves of new casino resort constructions with continuous upgrades and renovation projects in between. They have been successively theorized as suburbanization, corporatization, Disneyfication, and global branding. Each building boom either conforms to a single paradigm or witnesses a paradigm shift halfway: these paradigms have been theorized as Wild West, Los Angeles Cool, Pop City, Corporate Modern, Disneyland, Sim City, and Starchitecture.

    Running Head: TALKING TO STRANGERS 1 Talking to Strangers The Use of a Cameraman in The Office and What It Reveals about Communication Sarah Stockslager A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Fall 2010 TALKING TO STRANGERS 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Lynnda S. Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.
