First Contest: Responses To The SAIC Solution

As part of the reading material for the first national essay contest, The SAIC Solution will be distributed to participating campuses.

The SAIC Solution is a book about how one entrepreneur--a scientist and businessman--started a company based on shared responsibility and rewards, and grew that company with his employees by developing a corporate culture that emphasized the importance of solving technically hard customer problems, giving employees freedom to create the kind of business and environment they would be excited to work in, encouraging entrepreneurship, and giving employees ownership of the organization commensurate with their contributions.
