美国普罗克特——甘布尔公司在一座新建仓库中取消电灯开关,让照明灯长明.他们的理由是:如仓库装上开关,电灯费每年可减少150美元,但购置和安装整个开关系统的费用却达7200美元,也就是说,50年节约的电费才能抵得上购置和安装开关的费用.因此,该公司也就提出世界上独一无二的管理法——“长明灯最节约”.按常规思维,白天点灯无疑是一种浪费,只有装上开关,夜明昼灭才是节约的.“长明灯最节约”表面看来不可思议,但甘布尔公司并未被这种“不可思议”所束缚,运用创造性的思维方式,把“节约”放在更广的范围内思考,结果得出“长明灯最节约”的结论.撇下事件本身不说,这种创造精神是值得称道的.
US Proctor-Gamble Company canceled the light switch in a new warehouse to make the lights grow. Their reason is: if the warehouse is equipped with a switch, the lamp fee can be reduced by 150 US dollars per year, but the entire switch system is purchased and installed. The cost is 7200 U.S. dollars, that is to say, the 50 years of electricity savings can only be purchased and installed the cost of the switch. Therefore, the company also proposed the world’s unique management law - “The most cost-saving lamp”. Thinking and turning on the lights during the day is undoubtedly a waste. It is only economical to install the switch and eliminate the night and day. “The most economical light of the Ming dynasty” seems strange on the surface, but Gamble has not been constrained by this kind of “inconceivable” use of creativity. The way of thinking, thinking of “saving” in a broader context, led to the conclusion that “the longest light is the most economical”. The underling incident itself does not say that this kind of creative spirit is commendable.
