Ideenmanagement / Betriebliches Vorschlagswesen:

With the help of idea management (IM), it is possible to promote the creative knowledge of employees, thereby optimizing internal processes, saving costs, or enhancing quality. A key element in encouraging employees to submit new ideas is the incentive system. However, this is often subject to strict restrictions, similar to those governing who is eligible to participate in IM, which significantly affects the success of an IM. The author, Nadine Hürth, aims to encourage the identification and optimization of weaknesses in IM systems. She particularly highlights the design options within the incentive and bonus system. Initially, she presents a historical overview of the suggestion system and provides an overview of the existing models. Furthermore, she examines IM in light of a company's business objectives. Finally, she outlines the fundamentals of an incentive and bonus system and demonstrates opportunities for optimization. The book is aimed at decision-makers in IM/BVW, economists, managers, companies, and anyone interested in the topic.
