This volume brings together researchers from a diverse array of
academic disciplines - including sociology, organization theory,
strategy and psychology - to address the question of what
organizations can do to better recognize novel ideas and support
their proponents in implementing those ideas. The contributors draw
from different theoretical perspectives and empirical papers use
both qualitative and/or quantitative methods in their analysis. All
contributions speak to a common set of phenomena at the
intersection of creativity, innovation, and social evaluation in a
variety of cultural fields. In the first section of the volume -
searching for novelty - the papers discuss different
conceptualizations of novelty and examine the conditions that
foster the creation of new ideas or product offerings. In the
second section of the volume - seeing novelty - the papers discuss
how novelty is evaluated and recognized both within and outside
organizations. Papers in the third and final section - sustaining
novelty - explore how these evaluations affect the support that
novelty receives in its journey to gain legitimacy. Setting an
agenda for a more holistic theory on the emergence, evaluation, and
legitimation of novelty, this volume showcases how novelty
generation, recognition, and legitimation correspond to distinct
phases of the journey of novelty, from the moment it makes its
appearance in the world to the moment it takes root and propagates.
