Prizes for Innovation….Column in the Wall Street Journal

Today’s Wall Street Journal has a nice column by David Wessel on spurring innovation through prizes (Page A6 in the 1/25/2007 print edition). David interviewed me about my research (with Lars Bo Jeppesen, Jill Panetta and Peter Lohse) and my perspectives on different models for innovation and in particular how scientific problem solving can be distributed. (Update: I asked David if he could find a way to release the column on the open - the good folks at WSJ.com were cooperative) The column (unfortunately) is behind WSJ.com’s paywall –> but Here is a link to the column and there is a public forum about it here.

    Visionary solutions can only come from a single person.
    The prizes must remain small to yield unusual solutions.
