The article demonstrates how we can innovate innovation by taking a specific, proactive, and instrumental approach to fostering business innovation and skills acquisition gained through applied research work experience by students as part of their college education. This approach is being used by George Brown College in developing a framework for measuring this innovation potential with a long-term, outcomes-based analysis.}, keywords = {applied research, business innovation, college, experiential learning, innovation literacy, logic model, polytechnic, skills, student research}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/735}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/735}, author = {Robert Luke} } @article {554, title = {Results-Based Organization Design for Technology Entrepreneurs}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {2}, year = {2012}, month = {05/2012}, pages = {10-17}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {Faced with considerable uncertainty, entrepreneurs would benefit from clearly defined objectives, a plan to achieve these objectives (including a reasonable expectation that this plan will work), as well as a means to measure progress and make requisite course corrections. In this article, the author combines the benefits of results-based management with the benefits of organization design to describe a practical approach that technology entrepreneurs can use to design their organizations so that they deliver desired outcomes. This approach links insights from theory and practice, builds logical connections between entrepreneurial activities and desired outcomes, and measures progress toward those outcomes. This approach also provides a mechanism for entrepreneurs to make continual adjustments and improvements to their design and direction in response to data, customer and stakeholder feedback, and changes in their business environment.}, keywords = {design principles, logic model, organization design, performance management, results-based management, technology entrepreneurship}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/554}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/554}, author = {Chris McPhee} }
