I think that this whole concept is self contradictory...I may not be entirely correct but then, someone needs to clarify it...By definition thinking out of the box would mean thinking beyond your boundaries or from a new perspective...That means that we first need to define the box...and so that would mean that you must acknowledge the boundaries or blocks around you...I feel that this acknowledgement of the 'box' itself contradicts the concept...What or who, then, would decide what the box is...It cannot be you... because if you think that you are thinking out of the box that means you have decided upon the box...but what made you decide on that box size...You can define the domain of your authority...but can you really decide upon domain of your thinking?
So is this whole concept of thinking out of the box a management fad?....Seems so...but then..who knows...someone might have greater clarity on it...Lets see...I will comeback to it if I have some more insight...
hanji .... so u r confused abt wat a box is ....!!!!!! tu v vehliya maarda riha kar ....but anyways i liked the idea .....hehhe ....wese wat i believe is that BOX is everything around you ....and thinking out of it means u think beyond other persons imagination (not really imagination , but to the point where he can think). In laymans term , it means that you be creative , u come up with new ideas and that to successful ideas , not any crapy ones ....thats wat i believe thinkin out of box means
