Staw, Chair Doctor Sara L. Beckman Professor Robert J. MacCoun Professor Philip E. Tetlock Fall 2009 The Blank Page: Effects of Constraint on Creativity © 2009 by Caneel K. Joyce 1 Abstract The Blank Page: Effects of Constraint on Creativity by Caneel K. Joyce Doctor of Philosophy in Business Administration University of California, Berkeley Professor Barry M. Staw, Chair This dissertation is about how constraint—restrictions to freedom that limit and direct search—influences creativity. Freedom is often associated with creativity, yet recent work in the decision making literature suggests that too much freedom can be paralyzing when it provides too many choices. This dissertation examines how the extent of constraint imposed on a task, when conceptualized as a continuum, affects creative processes and outcomes. It employs a multi-method, multi-level approach through three studies. Study 1 was a controlled laboratory experiment centered around a written product design task where constraint was manipulated by varying task instructions. A curvilinear effect of constraint on creativity was identified such that a moderate degree of constraint was more conducive to creativity than either a high or a low degree. These effects were not explained by alternative explanations such as time allocation during the task, or decreased intrinsic motivation. Studies 2 and 3 examined the role of constraint in 43 new product development teams. Through quantitative analysis, Study 2 found that the degree of constraint that new product development teams voluntarily imposed on their projects at the beginning of the semester predicted the creativity of their product proposals more than ten weeks later. The results held up even when controlling for task conflict. Study 3 examined the same 43 teams through a series of three multi-method case studies. Grounded-theory analysis gave qualitative support to the theory proposed in Chapter 2 and revealed several emergent themes that were not anticipated, namely: assumption-constrained creativity, uncovering latent conflict, and confirmation-constrained creativity. The study resulted in new predictions about how constraint affects creative teams, and a novel framework for conceptualizing creativity as a hypothesis-testing activity. These findings suggest that while some amount of choice is important for encouraging creativity, too much can be counterproductive, which runs counter to many popular theories of creativity. This dissertation should provide encouragement to organizations that are institutionally embedded, have scarce resources, or are otherwise restricted. i Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to: My mom Cindy, for her open-minded enthusiastic embrace of life, her die-hard positivity and encouragement; her effortlessly natural ability to recognize beauty in all things and situations; her contagious wonder and love of all creations, and for being my teacher and partner in the countless creative projects we’ve done together that inspired this research My dad Peter, for his insistence that I stay true to who I am wherever that path may lead; his genuine love of people, community, and fun; his innate curiosity and love all things oceanic or scholarly; and for demonstrating that with integrity, humor, and the persistent pursuit of things one loves, a person can truly have it all My brother Britt, for his humor, best-friendship, wisdom, improvizational song-writing ability, high ethical standards, and love of business as an intellectual pursuit; his sense of calm and appeciation of theories, food, surfing and kareoke; and for being my sounding board for ideas that are at once ludicrous and possible & Roy, my partner, lover, husband, and best friend, who gave me the gift of loving him; for never allowing me to lose faith or give up, for cooking me gourmet meals, nursing my back back to health, maintaining my social life, playing devil’s advocate, teaching me to open doors and walk inside, moving to Europe three times, listening to me think out loud, helping me when I lost my keys/erased my hard drive/went down the rabbit hole/was mad as a hatter/forgot to x, y, or z… again, celebrating every gold star, supporting me in every way, wanting the very best for me, and for loving me with all of your heart. ii Table of Contents Abstract.......................................................................................................................................... 1!

    Section VI: Contributors to the EHR Advisory Committee Review of U.S. Undergraduate Education in SME&T • 312 • • 313 • Acknowledgments Shaping the Future is the product of many people, and it is a pleasure to acknowledge their contributions to this report. My only fear is that I will overlook someone, and I hope for forgiveness if that is the case. First, I thank Luther Williams for the idea to do the report in the first place and the unfailing support and encouragement to complete it and to implement it. To Bob Watson, Division Director for Undergraduate Education is owed an enormous debt of gratitude. Bob opened the Division to me, provided whatever I needed to get the job done, allowed me to observe and participate in many aspects of the Division's work, and gave invaluable advice and suggestions at every stage. Throughout, however, he was careful to allow me to be independent. Any lapse of objectivity is my responsibility, not his. The staff in DUE were helpful beyond belief, though they had a full plate of responsibilities without this review! They provided information and assistance at every turn, seemingly never too busy to answer a question or offer a suggestion. They planned the conference, "Shaping the Future," in such a way as to provide a superb sendoff for our report. Thanks to all of them, who became and still are good colleagues. Special thanks are due to Myles Boylan and Peter Yankwich, who did most of the staff work, analyzing information, commenting on early drafts, gathering data, and providing invaluable historical perspectives.

The Capital Financial Plan (CFP) is developed based on the needs at each location for buildings and other physical infrastructure to achieve these overarching plans. ▪ Strategic and Academic Plans define priority areas and goals and may include institutional aspirations. ▪ The Long Range Development Plan is a comprehensive plan, as approved by the Regents, on proposed future physical planning and development of a campus or medical center. ▪ The Physical Design Framework identifies planning principles and objectives for design of the physical environment. The CFP presents proposed capital projects, public private partnerships, and acquisition of real property that support these plans. The 2020-26 CFP represents $56 billion of capital need as articulated by the campuses and medical centers over this year and the next five fiscal years (through 2025-26).

It is also a place that is steadfastly committed to widening the doors to educational opportunity, a place that sets young people from all backgrounds on a path towards success in their lives and in their careers. This combination of excellence and access is what defines and animates us; it is truly Berkeley’s DNA. I arrived at Berkeley in 1970 as a freshly minted PhD who had never been west of Philadelphia, and this institution transformed me – just as it continues to transform so many of those who study here, work here, visit, and otherwise come into contact with our campus. I know that Berkeley will prove just as transformative for your sons and daughters. This resource guide provides a wealth of information about UC Berkeley, and can serve as a starting point for any questions you might have about our campus. We also invite you to call on Cal Parents at any time if you need additional assistance. On behalf of the entire UC Berkeley community: Welcome to our family, and Go Bears!
