The authors of this thesis concludedthat creativity does not lose its value or utility after the idea generation phase ofentrepreneurship. The current way of teaching creativity creates an environment where creativityis "strangled" and there is no free space left for innovative thinking. The authors associate thislack of innovation to a lack of communication between the UF teachers and therefore the authorscall on the UF teachers to collaborate 3 times per business year.The examiner for this work is Bengt Köping Olsson, researcher in creativity, innovation anddesign at Mälardalen University.
