It is based on research from 11 case studies in the Montreal software industry using contingency and resource dependency theories. This conceptual framework provides a view of the innovation process that differs from the linear approach often used in many studies to investigate innovation in small and medium sized businesses (SMEs). The linear approach considers the process as a set of activities that includes developing from one stage to another, while depending on the previous one. We conceptualize the innovation process in small businesses as an interactive process that involves a set of six subprocesses and several keys points of resources mobilization, which requires interacting with both internal and external business actors. Successful mobilization of innovation resources at all key points determines the success or failure of SMEs' innovation processes. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 11 %P 22-33 %8 01/2021 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1414 %N 1 %1 York University Dr. Angelo Dossou-Yovo is Associate Professor in the Department of International Studies at York University (Toronto, Canada) where he teaches Management and Entrepreneurship in the dual degree program in International Studies and Business Administration, a program jointly offered with emLyon Business School (France).

In this article, we fill a gap in the value proposition literature by identifying features that make the value propositions of new companies different from other resources, along with factors that make them valuable. A value proposition is conceived as being what enables and improves business transactions between a new company and external stakeholders. We reason that two features in particular make value propositions of new companies distinct: (1) business transactions between a new company and one or more external stakeholders, and (2) investments to create and improve a new company's value propositions that enable business transactions. We provide a definition of "value proposition" and postulate that a value proposition will benefit a new company when it: (1) strengthens the new company's capabilities to scale; (2) increases demand for the new company's products and services; and (3) increases the number, diversity, and rapidity of external investments in the new company's value proposition portfolio. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 10 %P 14-27 %8 06/2020 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1365 %N 6 %1 Carleton University Tony Bailetti is an Associate Professor in the Sprott School of Business and the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada.
