The Role of Prizes in Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The date of this program is labeled inconsistently from the way the other dates are on Fora. Most dates of Fora are reported as moth day year. The date on this program appears to be day month year. This will cause this program to be the first program listed when ordered by date until 2 December 2010 (12.02.10) . I suspect that the actual date of the program is 12 January 2010 (02.12.10).

Apologies if this is not the most appropriate place for conveying this message.

As stated in the presentation, prizes are tools used to manipulate people into doing what the prize giver wants to accomplish. Prizes or awards are a form of manipulation and has nothing to do with motivation unless you want to be manipulated. If you don't decide for yourself what is worthy of your time then prizes allow others to decide for you.
