Meanings
nounnonincentive (plural nonincentives)
plural nonincentives
- That which is not an incentive.
Xerox, for example, had a virtual monopoly on copiers in the 1960s, and because of its lease strategy, had a money flow that was difficult to spend. There were therefore significant nonincentives for Xerox to invent a small office copier.
