Creating Incentives for Innovation
基于概率论和实验证据,提出一个激励创新的模型,指出企业领导者应容忍早期失败、奖励长期表现,并为从CEO到员工的所有人提供创新激励,这些经验也适用于科研和学术界。
In an era of fast-paced technological change, innovation has become a business imperative. But it is not easy to make experimentation and risk-taking an integral part of an organization’s business practice. This article describes a model for motivating innovation based on probability theory and experimental evidence. This research indicates that corporate leaders should create a culture that tolerates early failure and rewards long-term performance, and employees from the CEO down must be given incentives to innovate. These lessons are broadly applicable in fields beyond business, such as scientific research and the academic world.
