People do not want to finish a project because of the large amount of money you put in to it, but because of the intrinsic motivation and a high level of autonomy. SURFfoundation subsidises innovative research projects, half paid by SURF, the other half by universities, but even on an unbalanced budgets (say 20% SURF, 80% universities), people are prepared to step in the project. Even when there is no money incentive at all, they want to work together with different universities to tackle a problem, because their intrinsic motivation is high. The only thing SURFfoundation has to do is to facilitate cooperation infrastructure (meeting rooms and synchronising agenda&#8217;s).<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Pink points out that for higher performance on complex tasks the business model should thrive on intrinsic motivation. The elements that create intrinsic motivation are, according to Daniel Pink: Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose. This results in a completely new business model, abbreviated by ROWE (Results Only Work Environment).<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_a.png\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Pink spoke on TED.com about the way traditional businesses are build is often still with the old mindset from the industrial era using incentives like the &#8220;carrot and the stick&#8221; model to increase production performance.
