Abstract: Abstract Corporations have been found to create negative innovations for people in society; however, due to the organisational irresponsibility principle, responsibility has remained unattributable to the agents. Despite the ills created, the economic progress and technological advancements provided by capitalism have led its advocates to suggest there is no alternative. When the goal is to exploit individuals, groups, institutions or organisations, the resultant activity is negative creativity. In competitive situations, most strategic creativity is intended to disadvantage others. This chapter explores the creation of negative innovations in firms and its link to strategic decision-making. A model for understanding negative creativity is also discussed.
