An organization's culture can encourage creativity, be neutral toward creativity, or discourage creativity.  Organizations that value creativity tend to flourish while those that don't will eventually fade into obsolescence.

1) Places trust in people
2) Embraces change in a changing world
3) Focuses on opportunity
4) Allocates budget for new ventures
5) Encourages risk-taking
6) Encourages employees to question the status quo
7) Has relaxed standards and operating procedures

3) Focuses on costs
4) Allocates budget for current products and services
5) Punishes mistakes
