Summary and definition of basic terms

Motivation is a specific organismic state of an individual or a team  meeting three criteria of differentiation
• They have defined a specific goal.
• They attribute value to that goal
• They do what they can do in order
  to reach that goal

Creativity is the ability to generate new forms (ideas, concepts, theories, strategies, methods, techniques, industrial products, services, works of art, etc.) that meet four criteria of differentiation. The new form
• is new and unique — not the reproduction of
  something that has already existed before
• is beautiful — it pleases the senses and
  stimulates the mind, that is, it displays
  beauty and power of expression
• functions properly — serves the purpose(s)
  for which it has been generated
• generates values for society — and not only
  profits for those with vested interests
