It positions creativity within a strategy and international business perspective, linking theoretical mechanisms such as divergence, feedback, and microfoundations to empirical evidence drawn from Japanese creative industries. The research outlines theory, hypotheses, data and variables, and analytical strategies, then presents results and discussion across multiple chapters, culminating in implications for exploration and exploitation orientations.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/individual-level-creativity-in-the-japanese-manga-september-2022/147345/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/individual-level-creativity-in-the-japanese-manga-september-2022/147345.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Lucas Vance","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-17","2026-08-26",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the main topic of the thesis?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The thesis focuses on individual-level creativity in the Japanese manga industry and its role in success and performance.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"Which theoretical perspective is used to analyze creativity?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"It applies strategy and international business theory, including concepts tied to divergence, performance feedback, and microfoundations.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"How does the thesis structure its research approach?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"It presents theory and hypotheses, then specifies methods such as data and variables and an analytical strategy, followed by results and discussion in each major chapter.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},147345,1787762253,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":81,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":129,"read_time":144},549768064622,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_6f874abed73319feea01a86fa6f0fab8","A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of Warwick  \nPermanent WRAP URL:  \n[http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/176796](http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/176796)  \nCopyright and reuse:  \nThis thesis is made available online and is protected by original copyright.
