I've seen in the literature about this company that management has been nominated for a Nobel prize. I'm assuming they didn't win, because if they did, they would have played up the fact that they actually WON the Nobel prize. Nonetheless, that's still an amazing accomplishment to be recognzied at that level. What I find is curious though is this. Who actually won for that category and for that year? What business or scientific feat did they accomplish? If anyone knows, I would like to know.
