This paper aims to establish the current state of knowledge on collective creativity in management science based on a systematic literature review. A systematic review was performed based on the three-step SPL procedure proposed by Tranfield et al. (2003). Two databases (Scopus and Web of Science) were searched electronically until March 2022. Literature analysis and content analysis were performed based on the secondary data. Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria following the systematic literature review procedure. The conducted descriptive and thematic analysis allowed establishing the state of knowledge in the analysed area and identifying the main thematic areas along with the future research directions. The research was the first to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) on collective creativity in management science. The main contribution of this paper is its exclusive focus on analysing existing research in the collective creativity field, limited to management science. SLR allowed determining that research in the analysed area was still at a fairly early stage. Although the existing literature sheds some light on collective creativity, studies investigating the aspects of teamwork focused on problem-solving are required.
The stem of contemporary culture in the Baltics arose from the countryside and folklore. Among the traditions of the Baltic cultures, there is talka – a term derived from work in the field, which historically was the act of communal work of the village residents to help each family in their agricultural work, such as haymaking, rye harvesting, manuring, threshing, flax pulling, and breaking. Known in other countries as “bee”, the term “talka“ in the Baltics refers to voluntary community work. As the communities have been moving to cities, talka has followed them naturally. Currently, cooperative work efforts include maintenance of sites and buildings, and it is a frequent and widespread act. The paper reviews examples of combined efforts of small communities to improve the appearance, performance, and security of public spaces. The application of joint work has allowed for low-cost gentrification and urban upgrade of several neighborhoods in Latvia.

Współczesna kultura krajów bałtyckich wywodzi się ze wsi i folkloru. Jedną z tradycji kultur bałtyckich jest talka – zjawisko, które historycznie było aktem zbiorowej pracy mieszkańców wsi i pomocy każdej rodzinie w pracach na roli. Podczas migracji mieszkańców wsi do miast talka podążała za nimi w naturalny sposób. Obecnie wspólne działania obejmujące utrzymanie osiedli i drobne naprawy budynków to zjawisko powszechne oraz regularne, a termin talka oznacza dobrowolną pracę na rzecz społeczności. W artykule omówiono przykłady wspólnej pracy małych społeczności lokalnych, mającej na celu poprawę estetyki, funkcjonowania i bezpieczeństwa przestrzeni publicznych. Zaangażowanie społeczności pozwoliło na niskobudżetową gentryfikację oraz modernizację kilku dzielnic Łotwy.
