Creativity and Innovation: A Comparative Analysis of Assessment Measures for the Domains of Technology, Engineering, and Business

Creativity and Innovation: A Comparative Analysis of Assessment Measures for the Domains Of Technology, Engineering, and Business Tyler Lewis School of Technology Master of Science The purpose of this literature review is to investigate and discuss: (1) the characteristics measured by innovation assessments, and (2) the comparison of characteristics measured by creativity assessments with those of innovation assessments. This will be done by: (1) collecting creativity and innovation assessments, and (2) comparing and contrasting the characteristics measured by each assessment. This study reveals that innovation assessments do not measure the innovation process in its entirety. The findings show that creativity and innovation assessments lack in assessing the entire innovation process, assessing the innovation process on an individual level, and assessing an individual’s change or growth in the innovation process. Based on the findings, future research needs to be done to develop an individualized innovation assessment.
