A young woman with long, flowing brown hair, fair skin, and dark-rimmed glasses smiles gently at the camera. She is wearing a light olive green t-shirt and has a dark strap over her shoulder. The background is a plain, light-colored wall.

Courtney Pitre holds a B.A. in Professional Communication from Ryerson University, with minors in English and Entrepreneurship & Innovation. She nurtures an interest in creativity, as well as the business sector. Her research goal was to find the intersection in which these two fields connect and how they interact with one another

Research

This research study uses the constant comparative approach, explores whether creativity building classes within the undergraduate business programs would make students more employable post-graduation. The participants for this study were selected using non-probability, non-random sampling, based on their connection to the Ryerson undergraduate business program.

A presentation slide with a geometric pink and blue background titled 'CREATIVITY INFILTRATING BUSINESS' by Courtney Pitre. On the left, the 'Research Question' asks: 'WOULD MANDATORY CREATIVITY BUILDING CLASSES WITHIN THE UNDERGRADUATE BUSINESS PROGRAM, MAKE STUDENTS MORE EMPLOYABLE IN THE BUSINESS SECTOR?' Under 'Importance,' it lists: '1. HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF CREATIVITY IN BUSINESS' and '2. LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR OTHER RESEARCH.' A dotted vertical line separates the two halves. On the right, 'Finding #1' states: 'BOTH BUSINESS PROFESSORS CONSIDER CREATIVITY AN IMPORTANT TRAIT.' 'Finding #2' states: 'A CREATIVE WORKFORCE WILL RESULT IN ECONOMIC GROWTH.' 'Finding #3' states: 'MAKING THESE CLASSES MANDATORY SEEMS UNFEASIBLE.'
