- W1569709191 abstract "Idea contests have been used for centuries by governments, learned societies, and enterprises solve specific problems or further the of science and technology more generally. Knowledge Ecology International (2008) collected some 200 examples, beginning with the Spanish (1567), Dutch (1627), and British (1714) Longitude prizes spur the of technology allow accurate determination of a ship's longitude at sea-an outgrowth of the need for these world powers remain competitive in their expansion of trade the Far East (see also Spencer 2012). more recent example is the Ansari X Prize, offered in 1996 and 2004, spur the of low cost spaceflight.Commercial firms have used contests as a mechanism collect ideas for new products from customers ( Piller and Walcher 2006 ).
