Kind of sounds like the company share price is too coarse-grained. That sort of thing might work better if the company was split into separately traded sub-units, of which the parent company owns some controlling fraction of voting shares. Admittedly the bureaucratic overhead starts being awkward.
- scarface74 5y agoThere are four companies worth over 1 trillion. How could you split any of them in a way that my small implementations by their standards would make a difference? I purposefully focus on the “nose of the camel in the tent” type work. I like smaller proof of concept + training type projects.
- FeepingCreature 5y agoI agree there is not necessarily a good way to do this in any given company structure. However, if a company can figure out how to do it, other things being equal I would expect it to eat its competitors' lunch. (As with how Uber doesn't need to mandate that drivers should be nice; it just falls naturally out of the incentive structure.)
