Fashion houses with foreign-experienced creative directors are rated more creative

Evidence

Importantly, we have now replicated such findings outside of the laboratory. In a study done in collaboration with Frederic Godart, we also found that when fashion houses (e.g., LVMH, Chanel) had creative directors who had lived or studied abroad, these houses were rated as more creative organizations than fashion houses whose directors did not have foreign living experience (Godart, Maddux, & Galinsky, 2011). — Roderick M.
