D-MTEC Media Update – Crisis affects creativity in companies

D-MTEC experts engage with issues that affect society, the economy and business. The D-MTEC Media Update provides links to recent articles, interviews and commentaries. Creativity in companies can suffer as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. Brainstorming via Zoom doesn’t work as well as when people sit together. This means that a clear distinction must be made between meetings dealing with strategic and operational issues, says Georg von Krogh, Professor of Strategic Management and Innovation.
