Abstract

Management and creativity are sometimes assumed to be unrelated or even conflicting concepts. In the best cases, management controls enable artistic success by gathering resources and providing discipline. However, if pushed too far, the same discipline can stifle creativity. The best managers in the industry have learned to strike a fine balance between the need for operational control and respect for their employees' artistic freedom.

Keywords
