The Role of Chaos and Luck in Creativity
Chaos and luck significantly influence creativity and often arise from unexpected events. For instance, the spike in Domino's Pizza sales on June 17, 1994, resulted from the O.J. Simpson police chase, an incident entirely outside of the company's control. This illustrates how unpredictability can create opportunities that structured marketing efforts cannot. Understanding that luck and random occurrences play a role in our creative processes helps us appreciate the complex web of contingencies shaping our experiences.
