From the Paper:

"Creativity can be related to mind over matter, defined as the ability for a person to be unique and come up with different ideas. This can mean any one can think of a creative or innovative idea, but it is the innovative people in our society that have ability or the courage to turn a creative idea into an innovative product or service. If an organization is creative, it isn't necessarily innovative, meaning it can be creative toward its handling of internal or external issues or problem solving, although it may not be innovative in terms of creating an innovation or continuing to create products or services and injecting them into the market place."
