The research is able to empirically assess creativity in the development of social structures. For the assessment of creativity this work applies a longitudinal study design by combining cicial network analysis with creativity studies. The approach enables to relate creativity indicators with social network measures. The research is based on an empirical study of innovationprojects in the automotive company BMW Group. The research thereby extends existing research and theories on creativity, social network dynamics and organisational learning.?
