Abstract

Creativity is a key driver of success for organizations in the digital age. Managers engaged in evaluating the creativity of new ideas are often subject to a myriad of technology-mediated distractors that compete for their attention. In this work in progress paper, we investigate whether attentional overload results in an upward bias for IT-mediated creativity evaluations. We report on promising early results that examines this phenomenon and set out to study its implications on IT design complexity.
