ASSIGNMENT PROMPT :
The objective of this discussion is to expand our individual and collective understanding of the differences and similarities between the critical and creative thinking processes.
Assignment Requirement:
· Read Section 1 - Preface through Page 20 in the textbook (SEE below for textbook information)
· Analyze critical thinking and creative thinking processes and identify the uses for each within an organization.
· 550 word requirement with at least 4 references listed in APA format.
Directions/Suggestions:
· Start by doing some research for articles about each of these concepts. Begin to construct definitions and/or identifying parts of each process.
The word Analyze means you are expected to pull apart the pieces and compare them, drawing connections and your own conclusions about the concepts. In short, don't just report on what others have written, create a new understanding.
· You might want to include some articles from business journals like Forbes, Fortune etc. to broaden your scope of understanding and to help you identify the ways actual organizations currently use these two distinct processes.
· Be sure any time you state a fact or use wording from any source, you denote it with an In-Text Citation and list it in a References section at the bottom of your post.
Note about formating:
Follow APA for citation and referencing. It should be free of grammar and spelling errors. NO PLAGIARISM is allowed, as this assignment will be submitted through an online database that checks for originality. Plagiarism will result in an immediate ZERO.
TEXTBOOK INFORMATION:
Think Smarter, by Michael Kallet - ebook
Instructions for using ebooks:
· To read the entire book online, click the 'Read Online' button, and it will open up in your browser.
· You can also download a chapter into a PDF, if that is easier. Just click on the chapter to read, then look for the 'chapter download' button at the top, and select current chapter. (The icon looks like a piece of paper with a down arrow on it.) This way, since it is just a PDF, you can save that chapter to their computer.
· If you click on the 'full download' button, then you will have to create an account and only have access to it for 14 days. So it is better to do one of the other options when reading these e-Books.
