In the current literature, there are many discourses about business creativity as one of the key factors of competitiveness in this dynamic “creative age.” From the second half of the twentieth century, alongside with the shift from “Fordist” to “post-Fordist” economies and the increasing role of creativity in business, the “romantic” understanding of creativity as a manifestation of individual genius has been replaced by pragmatic understanding of creativity as an “everyday” and “everyone” natural phenomenon.
