Abstract: AbstractDeveloping technology is the answer of the human being to the changing environment. Nowadays nobody doubts that innovation is the driving force for an enterprise, and a country. An important competence for innovation is creativity. Creativity is a core characteristic of a human being. The individual bears knowledge, abilities, and competences. Which role does an individual play in Management of Technology? What can we learn from artists? At the beginning of an innovation there is the idea, a WHAT. Bringing the idea to life is a question of HOW. At the end we get once more a WHAT but shaped by the HOW. The human being needs his individual creativity, enthusiasm, knowledge, methods and craft, social competence and the will to find the way to the goal through the whole process. This contribution will give one possible approach to the role of an individual in Management of Technology.
