Over the last decades, advances in IT have changed markets and businesses. Companies that were unable to adopt have vanished. In most businesses, the best strategy for keeping a competitive advantage is to innovate at a faster pace than rival organizations. This requires a systematic approach to innovation that is tailored to the individual situation of a company. In order to improve the speed and quality of their innovation process on an organizational level, companies can incorporate IT solutions such as electronic brainstorming that support the creativity of their employees on a group and individual level. The aim of this study is to investigate the current state of research in the IS literature regarding technology supported creativity. We have conceptualized the topic into individual research strands. For each research strand, we present theoretical models, their alignment with empirical findings and an agenda for future research.     «
