Muegge %K business ecosystems %K Canada %K design rules %K glocalization %K Mexico %K multisided platform %K technology entrepreneurship %K Technovation %X Business ecosystems are an increasingly prominent organizational form in both management research and practice. A growing body of research exists about ecosystem design, but designing local ecosystem instances within a global ecosystem is not yet well understood or defined. This article contributes a multilevel, embedded case study of the global and local ecosystems anchored around the Technovation Girls competition - the world's largest technology entrepreneurship challenge for girls. We first define the process platform driving this ecosystem and anchoring the local instances. Second, we identify key architectural properties of a global-local ecosystem. Lastly, we specify a process for defining design rules in an organizational setting. In addition to theoretical relevance for ecosystem scholarship, our results are also of practical relevance to leaders of existing or nascent global ecosystems, who may benefit from techniques described in this paper that involve designing a flexible global ecosystem architecture that accommodates local variation. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 11 %P 32-43 %8 05/2021 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1440 %N 5 %1 General Dynamics Mission Systems Jasmine Shaw is a Systems Engineer at General Dynamics Mission Systems - Canada where she designs cutting-edge aerospace technology. She completed a Master of Applied Science in Technology Innovation Management, and her thesis was at the intersection of design, globalization, and business ecosystems, specifically applied to global organizations that empower girls through technology entrepreneurship. As a new entrepreneur, she leverages her expertise in engineering, design, and business ecosystems to help women in STEM achieve their full career potential. She is an active member of the engineering community, serving on the Board of Directors at the Society of Women Engineers - Ottawa, and volunteering for organizations such as Technovation. %2 Carleton University Dr. Steven Muegge is an Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University. 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. %& 32 %R http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1440 %0 Journal Article %J Technology Innovation Management Review %D 2019 %T Is Joining a Business Incubator or Accelerator Always a Good Thing? %A Kristina Lukosiute %A Søren Jensen %A Stoyan Tanev %K accelerator %K Canada %K Denmark %K disadvantages %K incubator %K Lithuania %K new venture %K start-up %X Business incubators and accelerators are often hailed as essential tools for fostering growth in startups. However, not only do entrepreneurs often face the question of which incubator or accelerator to join, we suggest that they should also question whether or not to join one at all. Is joining a business incubator or accelerator always a good thing? In this article, we investigate some of the negative outcomes entrepreneurs can experience when engaging with an incubator or accelerator. We apply a cross-case analysis of empirical observations from qualitative interviews with Danish and Canadian entrepreneurs to arrive at a set of recommendations that entrepreneurs should keep in mind when considering such an engagement. These points are further qualified based on informal interviews with four serial entrepreneurs. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 9 %P 5-15 %8 07/2019 %G eng %U https://timreview.ca/article/1251 %N 7 %1 University of Southern Denmark Kristina Lukosiute is a business and innovation practitioner helping new companies articulate viable business models and competitive marketing strategies.

An important assertion is that the challenge of securing cyberspace transcends the abilities of any single entity and requires a radical shift in our approach in how: i) research is conducted, ii) cybersecurity researchers are educated, iii) new defendable systems are developed, and iv) effective defensive countermeasures are deployed. Our response draws upon extensive source material and our personal experiences as cybersecurity professionals contributing to the establishment of the VENUS Cybersecurity Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation that aims to make Canada a global leader in cybersecurity. We view the challenge to be global and transdisciplinary in nature and this article to be of relevance world-wide to senior decision makers, policy makers, managers, educators, strategists, futurists, scientists, technologists, and others interested in shaping the online world of the future. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 5 %P 26-34 %8 11/2015 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/943 %N 11 %1 Communications Security Establishment Renaud Levesque is the Director General of Core Systems at the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) in Ottawa, Canada, where he is responsible for R&D and systems development.

Such a situation, while potentially disadvantaging consumers of traditional mobile services, created a market that favoured competitors pursuing innovative uses of mobile data. Although more competitive pressures in the telecommunications market would provide broader benefits to Canadian consumers and facilitate greater innovation in related services, a favorable pricing differential vis-à-vis data transmission provides useful incentives. Even with recent changes to the pricing of mobile services in Canada, we should expect continued development of services that substitute data for voice and text messaging, particularly for international communications, as well as more innovative uses of mobile data. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 4 %P 14-21 %8 06/2014 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/800 %N 6 %1 University of Ontario Institute of Technology Jeff Moretz is Assistant Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) in Oshawa, Canada.

We describe the context of current cybersecurity challenges by synthesizing key source material whose importance was informed by our own real-world experiences. Furthermore, we present a checklist of guiding principles to a unified response, complete with a set of action-oriented research topics that are linked to known operational limitations. The focus areas are used to drive the formulation of a unified and relevant research and experimental development program, thereby moving us towards a stable and resilient cyberinfrastructure. When cybersecurity is viewed as an inherently interdisciplinary problem of societal concern, we expect that fundamentally new research perspectives will emerge in direct response to domain-specific protection requirements for information-technology infrastructure. Purely technical responses to cybersecurity challenges will be inadequate because human factors are an inherent aspect of the problem. This article will interest managers and entrepreneurs. Senior management teams can assess new technical developments and product releases to fortify their current security solutions, while entrepreneurs can harness new opportunities to commercialize novel technology to solve a high-impact cybersecurity problem.. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 3 %P 12-18 %8 07/2013 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/704 %N 7 %1 Communications Security Establishment Canada Dan Craigen is a Science Advisor at the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC).
