He teaches, conducts research, and supervises graduate students within Carleton’s Technology Innovation Management (TIM) program, and actively promotes entrepreneurship and innovation within the broader community. Dr. Muegge leads an active research program in technology entrepreneurship and commercialization. One stream of current research examines non-traditional settings for innovation, including interconnected systems of business ecosystems, communities of users and developers, and industry platforms outside the control of any single company. A second stream examines the business models of technology entrepreneurs who create new companies and develop new products and services within these settings. Both streams are directly relevant to promoting economic prosperity for Canada and the National Capital Region, and to building differentiation and advantage for entrepreneurs and their companies. %2 Technology Innovation Management Review Gregory Sandstrom is Managing Editor of the TIM Review.
