James R. Lavoie and Joseph M. Marino of Rite-Solutions set up an internal stock market where employees could buy and sell business ideas. The highest-valued stocks are seriously considered for implementation.

The market was begun in January 2005. Mr. Marino, president of Rite-Solutions, says the market has already made a dramatic difference in their business. One idea which he didn't support found overwhelming support in the internal market, and was implemented. It now accounts for 30% of Rite-View's total sales.
