Artful making : use of principles of artistic creation in management

Car, Marijana (author), Kanjuo-Mrčela, Aleksandra (author), Mesner-Andolšek, Dana (author)

The paper is about Artful making, a concept of artistic creative and innovative processes of work. Using a combination of abstraction, the descriptive causal non-experimental method and theoretical accounts of innovation, art, management and organization, we study the epistemological basis, the differences and the relation of the arts and business. The concept of Artful making is consistent with the epistemological attempts to exceed rationalism as the dominant epistemological framework of understanding of knowledge and the process of its creation. Theoretical discussion is combined with presentation of applicable organisational and management principles such as collaboration, trust, interdependence, play, preparation and freedom that are used by artists and often neglected in modern management and organisations. Thus the paper presents a detailed research of creative artistic work and proposes its specific principles and methods to the business world.

Abstract

Članek govori o načelih umetniškega ustvarjanja ("artful making"), ki predstavlja ustvarjalne in inovativne procese umetniškega dela. Uporabljajoč kombinacijo abstraktnosti, opisno vzorčne neeksperimentalne metode in teoretičnih vidikov inovativnosti, umetnosti, managementa in organizacije, proučujemo epistemološke osnove, razlike in odnos med umetnostjo in poslovnim svetom. Koncept je skladen z epistemološkimi prizadevanji za preseganje racionalizma kot prevladujočega epistemološkega okvira za razumevanje znanja in procesa njegovega ustvarjanja. Teoretična diskusija je v prispevku združena s predstavitvijo uporabnih organizacijskih in managerskih načel, kot so sodelovanje, zaupanje, soodvisnost, igra, priprave in svoboda, ki jih uporabljajo umetniki, medtem ko so v modernem managementu in organizacijah pogosto zapostavljena. Tako predstavlja članek natančno raziskavo ustvarjalnega umetniškega dela ter ponuja njegova specifična načela in metode poslovnemu svetu.
