innovative process is facilitated, the innovative products are developed. These
are, often, considered to be the result of collaborative teamwork. Increasing the
organizational effectiveness in a specific domain is a primary goal for selfmanaged
work teams. Self-managed teams are so intensively focused on high
performance that often individual needs of the team members can be
overlooked. As a result of the integration of viewpoints, self-managed teams
offer multifunctional definitions and solutions to problems that generate
innovative products or services.
In this paper are explored the cognitive factors which influence the creative
thinking of individuals who work in an organizational team and in an
organization with high creative potential.
1. Conceptual Determination
In order to understand the manner in which the factors involved in the
innovative process operate, it is used as starting point Bloom’s Taxonomy for
educational objectives.
In 1956, Benjamin Bloom, an
educational psychologist, developed
taxonomy for Educational Objectives.
This taxonomy became a key tool in
structuring and understanding the
learning process. The taxonomy,
examines the cognitive domain,
which categorizes and orders thinking
skills and objectives. It is a
continuum of six domains:
knowledge, comprehension,
application, analysis, synthesis,
evaluation. The domains are arranged
Fig. 1 – Bloom’s Taxonomy [3].
in ascending order, each level is
assimilated in the others’ presence,
starting from the basic level -
knowledge thought the higher one – evaluation, as it is represented in the Fig. 1.
These depend one from another can not achieve one domain without other and
are arranged at three levels: cognitive domain, corresponding verbs and
cognitive activity support. Each cognitive domain, that is found in the center of
the model presented in the Fig. 2, are in correspondence with a set of verbs
located in the middle of the model and with a set of nouns situated at their
external level in this model. The set of verbs express how can be acted in order
to attain the corresponding domain. Nouns express the support that it is offered
to perform the activities for each domain.
