Abstract

The role played by culture in creativity has become increasingly recognized around the world. However, traditional Confucian thinking continues to exert a strong influence on the culture, ethics, politics, religion, philosophy of many East and South-East Asia countries including their businesses and organisations. These countries have scored low on the Individualism Index: Hong Kong (25); Singapore, China and Vietnam (20); Korea (18); and Taiwan (17). This sessions examines some of the misconceptions about Chinese creativity against the backdrop of Confucian thinking and related cultural traditions.
