Description: The systems model of creativity developed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is a systems approach to creativity that suggests multiple elements must be present and active for creativity to occur. Csikszentmihalyi argues investigations of creativity with the individual as the central element do an injustice to the complexity of creativity and asserts that creativity is "the product of three main shaping forces" (1988, p. 325). These include an existing culture, with traditions and conventions in place for an individual to refer to, the individual that produces a work, and a social group who judge and verify whether the work is creative. This chapter describes and analyses the systems model of creativity developed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and provides context for the analyses in Part 2 of the book.
