Abstract
For centuries we have been used to attributing creativity to the individual, traditionally the lone genius and, later on, to each and every individual taken separately. However, in previous decades more and more voices argued for a social conceptualization of creativity, one that would recognize the collaborative efforts that make creativity possible. Among these voices is that of Dr. Ronald Purser who advocated for the study of social creativity especially in organizational contexts and who has generously offered to answer some of our questions on this topic.

Summary
For centuries we have been used to attributing creativity to the individual, traditionally the lone genius and, later on, to each and every individual taken separately. Among these voices is that of Dr Ronald Purser who advocated for the study of social creativity especially in organizational contexts and who has generously offered to answer some of our questions on this topic. He has published over sixty refereed journal articles and book chapters on high performance work systems, design of new product development organizations, environmental management, social creativity, and participative strategic planning.
