Abstract: This study presents a typological view of domain knowledge and creativity from teamwork perspective. With this in mind, the study reviews the literature on team members’ collaboration, role centrality and its implications for team creativity. The study proposes a continuum of team creativity and different combinations of domain expertise possessed by the team members such that teams with more balanced domain expertise are more likely to produce more creative outcome than a team where its members consist imbalanced domain expertise. The study presents interesting avenues for future researchers
