Stock Market model (Score 1)

I recall a company executive who created an internal (to the company) stock market for product ideas... employees could spend effort working on the project to "buy" and product sales could be attributed to those who spent the effort making the product a success)...

Now let's throw a quick twist...
split salary between minimum/required and market value...
I'd also use the stock market "values" as a percent from the whole market and would divide the Market value salary based on that percentage...
Lastly I'd base the stock market values among any of the following:
  - employment opportunities for the field of study
  - student and parents' interests
  - dept of education interests

but then again I think the entire education system could use some attention.
