Man: Who are the managers of the best innovation developments in British industry?
誰是英國工業(yè)最佳創(chuàng)新開發(fā)的管理者?
That was the question which the first Business Today Innovation Awards set out to answer.
“今日商業(yè)創(chuàng)新獎”會告訴你答案。
This project is all about rewarding good practice and performance.
這個項目就是為了獎勵良好的實踐和表現(xiàn)。
So, rather than simply recognising excellence in the design of specific products, or analysing their financial impact on profits,
因此，與其簡單地認可特定產(chǎn)品設(shè)計的卓越之處，或分析其對利潤的財務(wù)影響，
the awards set out to take an objective look at exactly how companies manage the development process itself.
這些獎項旨在客觀審視企業(yè)如何管理開發(fā)過程本身。
Over three hundred and fifty organisations entered the competition and were initially reduced to about forty.
超過350個組織參加了比賽，一開始就減少到大約40個。
Then, after further careful checking, a short list of just fourteen of them was arrived at.
然后經(jīng)過進一步考察，我們就會得到一個僅包含有14個組織的名單。
These finalists, all manufacturers, were then visited by the competition judges, a panel of four chief executives from leading companies.
然后，比賽的評委和來自一流企業(yè)的4個CEO組成的小組參觀了這些進入決賽的企業(yè)。
The panel toured the finalists' facilities, received presentations on the companies and their projects, and interviewed the key development team members.
小組參觀了入圍公司的設(shè)施，聽取了有關(guān)公司及其項目的介紹，并采訪了主要開發(fā)團隊成員。
The products varied enormously in their scale, function and degree of technology -
這些產(chǎn)品在規(guī)模，功能和技術(shù)水平上差別很大，
from bread for a supermarket chain to a printer inside an automatic cash dispenser Initially the organisers were concerned that this range could create difficulties in the assessment process.
從連鎖超市的面包到自動提款機里的打印機，組織者起初擔心這些種類會給評估過程帶來困難。
But this fear proved baseless, as most elements in the innovation process are shared by all manufacturers.
但事實證明，這種擔憂是毫無根據(jù)的，因為創(chuàng)新過程中的大多數(shù)元素都是由所有制造商共享的。
