IoT enables such a wide range of possible short- and long-term opportunities that IoT entrepreneurs may fall into the trap of considering IoT generally rather than positioning their offer to a buyer in a specific manner that helps win deals. The process of understanding and expressing a compelling value proposition will help the IoT entrepreneur focus their offer, understand who the real buyer is, and demonstrate tangible value to that buyer in a manner that is directed towards winning deals.10aentrepreneurship10aguide10aInternet of Things10aoffers10avalue propositions1 aHudson, David  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/111600671nas a2200241   4500008004100000022001400041245005000055210004700105260004200152300000800194490000600202653001600208653002300224653000900247653001800256653002400274653002100298653001500319653002300334100001800357700001800375856003600393       2014                        eng d  a1927-032100aEditorial: Emerging Technologies (March 2014)0 aEditorial Emerging Technologies March 2014  aOttawabTalent First Networkc03/2014  a3-60 v410a3D printing10abig data analytics10aBYOD10acrowdsourcing10aemerging technology10aentrepreneurship10ainnovation10aIT consumerization1 aMcPhee, Chris1 aHudson, David  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/76902721nas a2200301   4500008004100000022001400041245006500055210006500120260004200185300001000227490000600237520183900243653001302082653003102095653002402126653002502150653001702175653003002192653003202222653001902254653002102273653001802294653001602312653001902328100001802347700001802365856003602383       2014                        eng d  a1927-032100aEnabling Employee Entrepreneurship in Large Technology Firms0 aEnabling Employee Entrepreneurship in Large Technology Firms  aOttawabTalent First Networkc02/2014  a23-320 v43 aManagers of development projects in large technology firms face a dilemma. They operate under pressure to achieve predictable quality, cost, and schedule objectives but are also expected to encourage their employees to act entrepreneurially. Given the uncertain nature of the entrepreneurial process, these managers often cling to existing practices and values and consequently inhibit their employees’ ability to act entrepreneurially.

In this article, we examine the product development and entrepreneurship literature streams to identify the barriers that managers of development projects of large technology firms face in allowing employees to act entrepreneurially. We organize these barriers using the five components of entrepreneurial orientation: risk taking, proactiveness, innovativeness, competitive aggressiveness, and autonomy. Then, building on the literature and our combined 40 years of experience managing development projects in large technology firms, we provide recommendations to managers on how to overcome these barriers. 

A better understanding of how to enable employees to act entrepreneurially will increase the entrepreneurial orientation of development projects in large technology firms. The relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and development project performance is expected to be curvilinear. Therefore, an increase in entrepreneurial orientation is expected to improve the performance of development projects up to a point after which it is expected to decrease it. 

This article will be particularly relevant to researchers interested in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and project performance as well as managers in technology firms who want to achieve their operational milestones while maximizing the entrepreneurial value creation of their employees.10aautonomy10acompetitive aggressiveness10acorporate venturing10adevelopment projects10aemancipation10aemployee entrepreneurship10aentrepreneurial orientation10ainnovativeness10aintrapraneurship10aproactiveness10arisk taking10avalue creation1 aMiron, Walter1 aHudson, David  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/76602298nas a2200265   4500008004100000022001400041245008400055210006900139260004200208300000900250490000600259520147500265653002301740653001801763653002201781653003601803653004301839100001901882700001701901700001801918700002101936700001901957700002001976856003601996       2013                        eng d  a1927-032100aDeveloping an Innovation Engine to Make Canada a Global Leader in Cybersecurity0 aDeveloping an Innovation Engine to Make Canada a Global Leader i  aOttawabTalent First Networkc08/2013  a5-140 v33 aAn engine designed to convert innovation into a country’s global leadership position in a specific product market is examined in this article, using Canada and cybersecurity as an example. Five entities are core to the innovation engine: an ecosystem, a project community, an external community, a platform, and a corporation. The ecosystem is the focus of innovation in firm-specific factors that determine outcomes in global competition; the project community is the focus of innovation in research and development; and the external community is the focus of innovation in resources produced and used by economic actors that operate outside of the focal product market. Strategic intent, governance, resource flows, and organizational agreements bind the five entities together. Operating the innovation engine in Canada is expected to improve the level and quality of prosperity, security, and capacity of Canadians, increase the number of Canadian-based companies that successfully compete globally in cybersecurity product markets, and better protect Canada’s critical infrastructure. Researchers interested in learning how to create, implement, improve, and grow innovation engines will find this article interesting. The article will also be of interest to senior management teams in industry and government, chief information and technology officers, social and policy analysts, academics, and individual citizens who wish to learn how to secure cyberspace. 10abusiness ecosystem10acybersecurity10ainnovation engine10ainnovation in commercialization10ainnovation in research and development1 aBailetti, Tony1 aCraigen, Dan1 aHudson, David1 aLevesque, Renaud1 aMcKeen, Stuart1 aWalsh, D’Arcy  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/71101104nas a2200205   4500008003900000022001400039245005300053210005300106260004200159300001000201490000600211520053800217653001700755653001300772653002100785653001500806653002300821100001800844856003600862       2012                          d  a1927-032100aEntrepreneurial Effort in the Theory of the Firm0 aEntrepreneurial Effort in the Theory of the Firm  aOttawabTalent First Networkc02/2012  a13-160 v23 aThis article develops a link between the theory of the firm and entrepreneurship theory to enable the study of employee entrepreneurial behaviour. First, we describe how incomplete contracts permit employee entrepreneurial effort in the theory of the firm. Next, we argue that emancipation offers an explanation for entrepreneurial effort that is not motivated by financial gain. Finally, we show how new technology creates conditions where the boundary of the firm may change and where entrepreneurial effort by employees may occur.10aemancipation10aemployee10aentrepreneurship10atechnology10atheory of the firm1 aHudson, David  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/52101861nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245007000055210006900125260004200194300000900236490000600245520122500251653001601476653001701492653002101509653001701530653002301547653001901570100001801589856003601607       2012                        eng d  a1927-032100aManaging Entrepreneurial Employees Who Bring Their Own IT to Work0 aManaging Entrepreneurial Employees Who Bring Their Own IT to Wor  aOttawabTalent First Networkc12/2012  a6-110 v23 aWhy do some employees invest their own time and money to acquire consumer information technology (IT) for use in the workplace as corporate IT? This behaviour occurs even when their firms already possess considerable IT resources. Moreover, IT governance policies typically oppose the use of unsanctioned IT within the firm. IT governance assumes that the only IT assets that are relevant to the firm are those that are owned by the firm. However, employees can create value for the firm by combining their personal IT assets with the firm's IT assets. Creating novel asset combinations is consistent with entrepreneurship but entrepreneurship theory does not address this type of voluntary employee entrepreneurship using personal IT assets. This article proposes a link between the theory of the firm and entrepreneurship theory to explain why employees act entrepreneurially. This link is significant because it advances the notion that employees of established firms can be entrepreneurial when they use their own consumer IT as corporate IT. This link is also significant because it suggests that managing employee entrepreneurship requires tolerance of value creation that is emergent and can occur within a firm. 10aconsumer IT10acorporate IT10aentrepreneurship10aintrapreneur10atheory of the firm10avalue creation1 aHudson, David  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/63301575nas a2200313   4500008003900000022001400039245008000053210006900133260004200202300001000244490000600254520065100260653002500911653002800936653002100964653002800985653003201013653001101045100001901056700001801075700001701093700001801110700001801128700001901146700001901165700002001184700002101204856003601225       2012                          d  a1927-032100aAn Overview of Four Issues on Technology Entrepreneurship in the TIM Review0 aOverview of Four Issues on Technology Entrepreneurship in the TI  aOttawabTalent First Networkc05/2012  a28-340 v23 aThe field of technology entrepreneurship is in its infancy when compared to other fields such as economics and management. Articles on technology entrepreneurship have been published in at least 62 journals, of which only 18 contribute to technology innovation management or entrepreneurship. Less than a handful of these 62 journals are considered to be "good" journals and none can claim a leadership position in technology entrepreneurship. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the 20 journal articles published in the February, March, April, and May 2012 issues of the Technology Innovation Management Review (TIM Review).10acreative destruction10aglobal entrepreneurship10ajournal articles10asocial entrepreneurship10atechnology entrepreneurship10atheory1 aBailetti, Tony1 aBot, Sonia, D1 aDuxbury, Tom1 aHudson, David1 aMcPhee, Chris1 aMuegge, Steven1 aWeiss, Michael1 aWells, Jonathan1 aWesterlund, Mika  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/55702434nas a2200133   4500008004100000022001400041245005100055210004800106260004200154520203300196100001702229700001802246856003602264       2009                        eng d  a1913-610200aEditorial: Tech Entrepreneurship (August 2009)0 aEditorial Tech Entrepreneurship August 2009  aOttawabTalent First Networkc08/20093 a<b><i>Entrepreneurship is the lifeblood of</i></b> any technology business and really describes the character of those who would see their new ideas achieve commercial success. That character includes: risk taking and the ability to deal with uncertainty from many quarters, creativity and the ability to connect ideas in surprising ways, orchestration and the ability to marshal resources, and the ability to deliver a message with impact whether in the proverbial elevator or when the customer is listening to best and final offers. There is so much required of an entrepreneur, in some ways it is surprising that we have any at all.

<b><i>I've recently had the opportunity</i></b> to witness a wide variety of entrepreneurs in action through the Lead to Win program. Lead to Win was started to assist innovation and entrepreneurship in the Canadian National Capital region. The program is certainly a response to the economic times and recognizes that when the tech sector is depressed, people who might otherwise find employment in established companies are more likely to start a business of their own. Lead to Win is designed to help entrepreneurs who have a deep technology background but need help building out some of the other dimensions of that entrepreneurial character.

<b><i>It has been a great</i></b> pleasure to discover that the demand for Lead to Win has exceeded our expectations easily by a factor of two or three. The diversity of people, technologies and market opportunities that have come forward in what is often described as a government and telecom town is extremely encouraging. The patterns and themes in this diversity have the prospect of tapping into existing ecosystems and creating entirely new ones. This notion of entrepreneurship and how it unfolds in established and new fabrics of companies and customers is the centerpiece of this month's issue of the OSBR. Successful entrepreneurs do not exist in isolation and are able to see massive opportunity by leveraging those around them.1 aLavigne, Dru1 aHudson, David  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/27501290nas a2200133   4500008004100000022001400041245005800055210005600113260004200169520087200211100001901083700001801102856003601120       2009                        eng d  a1913-610200aValue Co-creation: Lessons from Lead to Win Ecosystem0 aValue Cocreation Lessons from Lead to Win Ecosystem  aOttawabTalent First Networkc12/20093 aWhile the concepts of value co-creation and business ecosystems have become dominant, there is lack of conceptual clarity as to the role of co-creation in a business ecosystem. The objective of this article is to provide concrete examples of co-creation in vendor neutral ecosystems using lessons learned from operating the Lead to Win ecosystem. In a vendor neutral ecosystem, no vendor dominates and membership is open to all individuals and organizations that meet specific criteria.

The article is organized into three sections. The first section provides a short description of the Lead to Win ecosystem. The second section uses concrete examples to illustrate the lessons learned about co-creation in vendor neutral ecosystems. The third section describes key takeaways based on our five months experience operating the keystone of the Lead to Win ecosystem.1 aBailetti, Tony1 aHudson, David  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/308
