Interestingly, the finalists broke down into two distinct and equal groups:
有趣的是，進(jìn)入決賽的公司分成了兩組：
large firms with one thousand employees or more and small firms with two hundred and fifty employees or fewer.
擁有超過1000名或更多員工的大公司，和擁有250名或更少員工的小公司。
With both groups the judges decided to concentrate on two of the clearest indicators of a successful innovation process,
兩組評(píng)委決定集中精力考察成功創(chuàng)新過程的兩個(gè)最清晰的指標(biāo)，
which are: how well the new product is combined with the company's existing business,
這兩個(gè)指標(biāo)就是：新產(chǎn)品與公司現(xiàn)有業(yè)務(wù)結(jié)合得如何?
and secondly, how-well the innovation methods are recorded and understood.
第二，創(chuàng)新方法的記錄和理解的情況是怎樣的？
Small firms naturally tend to do well in the first category since they have fewer layers of management and thus much shorter communication lines.
自然地，小公司傾向于在第一個(gè)指標(biāo)上表現(xiàn)地很好，因?yàn)樾」居懈俚墓芾韺樱詼贤ǜ鼮楸憬荨?/div>
But they seem to put less emphasis on creating formal development methods which would be repeatable in future innovations.
但是他們似乎不太重視創(chuàng)建正式的開發(fā)方法，這些方法在未來的創(chuàng)新中是可以重復(fù)的。
Large firms, on the other hand, have difficulty integrating the new development within their existing business for reasons of scale.
另一方面，由于規(guī)模的原因，大公司似乎不容易在現(xiàn)有業(yè)務(wù)中整合新的開發(fā)。
But they tend to succeed in achieving well-documented and repeatable development methods. This is because larger companies,
但是它們往往能夠成功地文檔化良好且可重復(fù)的開發(fā)方法。
with their clear emphasis on training, fixed management structure and administrative systems, require more formal, daily record-keeping from their staff.
這是因?yàn)榇蠊久鞔_強(qiáng)調(diào)培訓(xùn)，有固定的管理結(jié)構(gòu)和行政制度，因此需要它們的工作人員每天更正式地進(jìn)行記錄。
So what were the key questions the judges had in mind when assessing the finalists?
那么評(píng)委們?cè)谠u(píng)估決賽企業(yè)時(shí)考慮的關(guān)鍵問題是什么呢?
One of the most important areas concerned how thoroughly a company checks what is happening in other fields in order to incorporate new ideas into the development process.
最重要的方面之一是公司如何徹底檢查在其他領(lǐng)域發(fā)生的事情，以便將新想法納入開發(fā)過程。
Many of the finalists impressed in the area.
很多進(jìn)入決賽的企業(yè)都在這方面令人印象深刻。
