Ein alternativer Ansatz fur die Integration bestehender Konzepte und ganzheitliche Betrachtung von Forschungsbereichen liegt in der Analyse konzeptioneller Modelle. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt am Beispiel der fragmentierten Literatur im Bereich der Arbeitsumgebung fur Kreativitat und Innovation einen qualitativen Analyseansatz zur systematischen Integration konzeptioneller Modelle. Dabei liegt der Fokus insbesondere auf der computergestutzten Analyse der unterstellten Beziehungen zwischen den Elementen der Modelle mit Hilfe eines adaptierten Verfahrens zur qualitativen Kausalanalyse in der Software WinRelan. Aufbauend darauf werden Anwendungsmoglichkeiten, Limitationen und Potentiale fur die Weiterentwicklung dieses qualitativen Integrationsansatzes aufgezeigt.

In contrast, many people experience difficulty in naming the "inventor" of the 747 jumbo jet, the 800 inward watts number or the silicon chip. Aside from the major differences in level of inventiveness and how much more current the latter three products are, a major difference between these two categories is that the more recent products have been the result of group creativity.

Correspondently, a proliferation of tools, techniques, and methods are available in the academic and popular literatures. Creative problem-solving (CPS) is one framework among these, and has a 70-year history of research and development. This essay overviews this history and the key stages of its continuous development, as well as the rationale for the changes and improvements that have been made. Foundational work established the Osborn–Parnes paradigm for CPS. Initial efforts were aimed at enhancing this approach. Then came work to stretch the Osborn–Parnes approach, and ultimately to break this paradigm. Understanding these major stages of development should better differentiate contemporary CPS approaches from the variety of earlier versions. Future research and development are also highlighted that will move our understanding, learning, and application forward.
