Winners and losers
One of various ways of organizing work that economists have identified, a
tournament market "offers participants the chance of winning a big prize--an
independent research career, tenure, a named chair, scientific renown,
awards--through competition,"writes Richard Freeman and co-authors.
Tournament markets amplify "small differences in productivity into large
differences in recognition and reward," Freeman and co-authors continue.
Academic science is only one such market; other familiar examples include
rock music, professional sports, and national politics. Someone who does not
get the Nobel may have published similar results 3 days after the winner.
An actor who narrowly misses a movie role might well have given a better
performance than the Oscar winner. Most labor markets are not winner-take-
all elimination contests, however, so we'll never know the names of, for
example, the world's greatest dentists or electricians or community college
teachers.
Besides heaping immense accolades on a small number of champions, tournament
markets share another feature. They constantly discard huge amounts of very
high-quality talent, training, and skill. All the aspiring varsity
quarterbacks who don't make the NFL, all the young scientists who come very
close to tenure, are cast aside. | n******7

各学校招生前先把此道理说透说通再招生，这样说不定对生源的提高是个大帮助，留下

大家不过是劳动力罢了，有些时候有自己见解对老板还是坏事
