Abstract: For many authors (e.g. Amabile, 1988 ), competence in a given fi eld is viewed as an important (though obviously not the only) ingredient of creativity. Experts are particularly interesting in this context. Since these individuals possess rare forms of knowledge and a high creative potential, the management of experts becomes a central issue for companies seeking to create sustainable competitive advantages. This chapter raises the question of the governing of experts within organisations.
