Microgenetic Analysis and Creativity: Analyzing Psychological Change Processes
Microgenetic analysis designates a type of idiographic and qualitative research that allows investigating developmental processes by conducting micro-analyses of social interactions among subjects in structured and natural activities and in specific settings circumscribed by chronological – thus, irreversible – time. The cultural psychology of creativity considers that creativity as a phenomenon originates from human interactions semiotically mediated by their socio-cultural contexts, which evolve in the course of ontogenesis by means of dialectical and dialogical processes. The merger of microgenesis and research in creativity has significantly contributed to research in this field, by enabling in-depth analyses of the genesis and development of creativity, including developmental changes and transformations experienced by interacting subjects in the contexts under study.
In the overall ownership cost of enterprise system, the maintenance cost consists of a major percentage. During the lifetime of an enterprise system, process customization is the most frequent maintenance efforts. However, current processing method has limited scalability and efficiency. In this case study, we explained how a scalable and efficient customization processing method was implemented. This method used the carbon emission trading mechanism to facilitate the cost benefit analysis of customization request. It also used distributed processing principle to improve the overall processing efficiency. Feedback from a pilot implementation in a large manufacturer included.
