The slideshow highlights a dozen good examples of how innovation prizes have spurred inventions from the 1700’s up until today.  More importantly, the slideshow has a “read the story’ link to an article which provides a great overview of how corporations are effectively organizing their sponsored competitions (using the Cisco I-Prize as the backdrop).
