Corporations企業公司 live and die by ideas. Many enterprises have used Web-based technologies, like blogs, wikis, and social networks to gather thoughts as part of the decision-making process.

Now executives say they are harnessing利用 a new Web tool, called “prediction markets預言性市場、未來事件交易所.” 

They use these markets to transform the creation and implementation成就 of ideas inside their companies—by tapping the collective insight洞察力 of the workforce勞動力.

These markets have often been more accurate than professional pollsters民調專家 or market researchers.

Seeing the potential of prediction markets, companies like General Electric奇異公司 and Hewlett-Packard惠普 are using them to try to improve forecasting, reduce risk, and accelerate innovation.

Corporate prediction markets work like this: players—employees and potential outsiders—make their wagers賭注擔保 over the Internet using virtual currency虛擬貨幣, betting anonymously匿名地.

They bet打賭 on what they think will actually happen, not what they hope will happen or what the boss wants.

The payoff收益 for the most accurate players is typically a modest適度的 prize, cash, or an iPod.

The idea behind predication markets is that the collected knowledge of many people will almost surely be more accurate than that of an individual or a small group or even experts.

While prediction markets are getting popularized, however, an important issue remains.

That is , whether prediction markets are mainly an innovative way to gather information from employees or a source of reliable answers.

More testing of the concept is in need to see how it goes.
