Download or read book Technological Innovation and Prize Incentives written by Luciano Kay and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÔThe recent renaissance in the use of prizes to spur innovation and extraordinary novel performance warrants close attention. Luciano Kay does so through a series of compelling case studies which shows the potential of prizes, the range of factors that influence their performance and the importance of understanding their non-pecuniary dimensions, even when there is a substantial purse. This is an important contribution to the innovation literature.Õ Ð David J. Teece, University of California, Berkeley, US ÔIn the last decade innovation prizes have caught the imagination of policy makers and rich donors alike; those who actually care about the process and outcome of prizes and not only the hype, would do well to read LucianoÕs new book.Õ Ð Dan (Danny) Breznitz, Georgia Institute of Technology, US Inducement prizes Ð in which cash rewards are offered to motivate the attainment of specific targets Ð have long been used to stimulate scientific discovery and technology research and development. This volume presents an empirical investigation of the effect of these prizes on innovation. In this in-depth study, Luciano Kay focuses on three recent cases of prize competitions in the aerospace industry: the Google Lunar X Prize, the Ansari X Prize and the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge. Using a combination of real-time and historical analysis based on personal interviews, workplace visits and questionnaire and document data analysis, the author examines the particular dynamics of the prize phenomenon and offers a comprehensive discussion of the potential of prizes to induce innovation. This fascinating volume also sets out a systematic method to studying prize incentives, offering a concrete innovation model and case study design approach that will prove highly useful to further research efforts in the field. Scholars, policymakers and corporate officials interested in incentives for innovation and the practical implementation of prize competitions will find this an invaluable resource. Potential prize sponsors and entrepreneurs, professionals and other individuals or organizations interested in participating in such competitions will also find much of interest in this groundbreaking book.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problems arise from potential incompatibilities between characteristics of high technology and professional employees and traditional organizational authority and control systems. These incompatibilities may lead to dysfunctional conflict between role expectations of professionals and organizational requirements. Some organizations are attempting to deal with the conflict by designing evaluation and control systems which better reflect the expectations of the highly skilled employee. Paper identifies sources of tension for professional and attempts to illustrate how it may be lessened by aligning the professional expectation with organizational goals. Recommendations are offered for differential incentives and rewards. (Author).

This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, Berlin School of Economics and Law, language: English, abstract: Incentive systems can contribute to the best possible exploitation of the employee’s abilities. A new way of setting those incentives and motivating employees is gamification. Gamification is defined as the application of game mechanics to a non-game setting, such as the business environment. Companies have discovered game-like incentives for motivating their employees, and now, this paper tries to create a gamified incentive system for motivating employees in the early stage of the innovation process. Innovation creates value, strengthens the market position and creates competitive advantages. Therefore innovation is widely seen as a critical source for economic success for companies. However, at the same time, innovation is expensive. For example, in 2018 alone, Apple invested as much as 14,24 billion dollars on research and development. This represented around 46% of their total operating expenses and approximately 2,6% of their total revenues. These costs are making it vital for companies to ensure the efficient use of innovation resources. This efficiency is largely determined by the competence, creativity and motivation of the employees working in the area of in research and development (R&D). Thus, companies have to generate adequate motivation in employees to deliver their innovative ideas, obtain a patent and develop the patentable idea into profitable innovation. Human resource (HR) management practices are considered as an essential instrument to fulfil this task. However, standard pay-for-performance schemes, which only reward short-term financial success, are not suitable for fulfilling this task in the innovation process, because innovation processes are likely to fail as they contain a high degree of uncertainty. In standard schemes, this failure would result in penalties by a lower compensation or a possible termination of the contract. This punishment has the potential to harm the innovative behaviour of employees. A company that wants to encourage innovation must design incentive systems that free employees to take risks, experiments and discover what practices and technologies are the most effective. These unique characteristics of innovation processes are the reason why analysing incentive systems in the context of innovation processes is of particular interest. Especially since incentive systems are considered as essential for ensuring the efficiency of innovation processes, as employees adapt their behaviour to these systems.

Download or read book Incentives to Improve Education written by Robert W. McMeekin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incentives to Improve Education identifies three categories of incentives: rewards, (financial rewards for teachers), competition (educational choice, often in the form of payment for education by voucher) and threats (introduction of external standards and accountability for performance). Using new institutional economics as a basis, Robert McMeekin develops a theoretical framework in which micro-level institutions - the 'rules of the game' - within school organizations influence the effort and the performance of teachers, students and other members of school communities. This model is used to analyze alternative approaches within each category of incentives (for example, merit pay for individual teachers versus merit awards to whole schools) and the reasons why some are more effective than others. The book argues that an incentive's impact on schools depends on how it influences the institutional climate within the school. Contracting in schools and networks of schools are also explored. Drawing on a body of economic thought - rarely applied in education studies - that explains how and why different approaches to providing incentives work, this book will be invaluable to economists, practitioners and others with an interest in educational policy and governance and in improving school performance.
