This article discusses how management could be used in promoting creativity in academic research. First, research management is introduced with the observation that management often creates tension in academic research. Second, a comprehensive research management model is presented as a tool for analysis. Third, studies of creative and innovative working groups are applied to academic research management. Finally, a conclusion is drawn with six implications for the improvement of creativity supported by research management.
