论技术创新中人的自主性

On Human Authenticity in Technological Innovation

在不少领域的技术创新,尤其是成功的技术创新中,科学技术的作用呈现出减弱趋势,与科学技术几乎无关的,甚至违背其某些原则的个人因素的作用不断上升。理解这个现象的关键在于人在技术创新中的自主性。自主性使得创新者超越科学技术规定的专业限制,大胆地发挥个人的想象力和创造力,尽可能多地实现功能整合,积极主动地与别人合作。正确把握人的自主性,有助于企业有效地管理和激励技术创新。

Technological innovations, especially successful technological innovations, are increasingly less related to science and technology in many fields. Individual factors that seem irrelevant to science and technology play increasingly important role in technological innovations. Human authenticity is key to understand the phenomenon, because being authentic people are free to act, create and cooperate beyond the limit of science and technology. Authenticity is helpful to effectively manage and stimulate technological innovation.
