in private people who are oriented to pursue opportunity and are satisfying unmeet social<br />

needs. If this same process is applied to the business sector, we should refer to it<br />

as corporate social entrepreneurship. Social Entrepreneurship is not another form of<br />

corporate social responsibility but rather is a process for invigorating and advancing the<br />

development of corporate social responsibility (CSR) (Michelini 2012). J. Schmitt (2013)<br />

claims that current CSR approaches do not consider creating value in a way that also<br />

contributes to promoting society.On the other hand an enterprise is a complex system<br />

satisfying not only the needs of consumers but also the expectations of all stakeholders and<br />

society.<br />

No entrepreneur or company, no matter how successful and big, can continue to hold<br />

leadership position, unless it acknowledges that modern business operates in a rapidly<br />

changing market, which creates new problems, risk and opportunities. According to H. Beth,<br />

A. Amabile (2010) creativity refers to the generation of novel ideas, useful concepts, or<br />

solutions to problems (Beth, Amabile 2010). I. Yurdakul (2012) defined creativity as a<br />

thinking process for finding new ideas and forming new synthesis from existing ideas: it<br />

combines with conscious and unconscious insight.<br />

The very corner stones of survival and growth then are innovation – a successful<br />

exploitation of new ideas and combination of ideas and knowledge into new value and<br />

entrepreneurship - willingness and ability to create and build something from practically<br />

nothing - initiating, doing, achieving, risk-taking, and building an enterprise with drive,<br />

imagination, enthusiasm, ambition, energy, vitality, boldness, and courage. No doubts that<br />

both innovation and entrepreneurship demand creativity (Beth, Amabile 2010). Creativity is<br />

considered to be the first stage of innovation in business world, and it contributes to all the<br />

other aspects of the work. Although the study of creativity has made a great progress,<br />

psychologists agree that creativity is still ambiguous and complex concept (Yurdakul 2012).<br />

On one hand the perception of creativity depends on the culture and the individual, on the<br />

other hand, there no disagreements that all industries came into existence because of the<br />

pursuit of creative ideas so creativity has been considered just a critical in its own right.<br />

From the economic perspective, value added is recognized as important criteria for<br />

creativity (Runco, Jaeger 2012). P. Fisk (2011) notes that creativity is considered to be a key<br />

driver of competitiveness both within and outside organizations and the need for creativity<br />

in organizations is increasingly seen to fulfill more than the basic business needs on an<br />

organization. It is the root of innovation. One should celebrate creativity because they are<br />

the source of design as they can liven up the most ordinary design when combined with<br />

instinct and ambition. One should look for a gap: unfulfilled customer needs cannot be<br />

found by traditional research, bright light can be found by the ones who are creative (Fisk,<br />

2011).<br />

According to the research of 1,500 chief executives conducted by IBM's Institute for<br />

Business Value (IBM), CEOs identify "creativity" as the most important leadership<br />

competency for the successful enterprise of the future (Skibola 2010). Furthermore, N.<br />

Skibola indicates that creativity in the workforce comes back to corporate social<br />

responsibility. While corporate responsibility is often understood as company’s ability to<br />

manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on outside society, it<br />

also touches upon how employees of the organization are actually treated and valued. How<br />
