This form of entrepreneurship is particularly popular among highly educated professionals in the high-technology and R\&D sectors. With the goal of improving our understanding and defining a research agenda for this phenomenon, I examined the relevant literature to clarify definitions and I undertook a research study to examine first-hand, through a longitudinal case study, the experiences of two hybrid entrepreneurs, one who intended to become a full-time entrepreneur and one who wish to be hybrid entrepreneur. The key result of the study emphasizes that hybrid entrepreneurs should not be considered as a homogeneous group: some hybrid entrepreneurs may always stay at their waged jobs and others may tend to become full-time entrepreneurs. The results have implications for policy makers wishing to encourage hybrid entrepreneurship and for researchers wishing to undertake further research into this phenomenon. }, keywords = {definitions, hybrid entrepreneurs, hybrid entrepreneurship, risk taking, self-employment}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1063}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/1063}, author = {Marina Z.

We examine the design of high-tech offshore service vessels in environments characterized by high volatility and complexity. We elaborate on the role that accumulating and sharing core competences plays in speeding up the innovation process and increasing product value. We present a longitudinal case study of a shipping company implementing an open innovation approach that integrates its own core competences in offshore operations with the competences of ship designers and ship builders to develop a new design for challenging environments. In this article, we draw on an open innovation approach and a competence-based view to demonstrate how the firm can "reach out" to gain novel competences related to innovation, which may transform the competitive environment to the firm{\textquoteright}s advantage. The article would be useful to innovation scholars and practitioners who work with innovative product development.}, keywords = {Arctic, cooperative design, core competencies, offshore operations, Open innovation, shipbuilding}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/926}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/926}, author = {Odd Jarl Borch and Marina Z.

Our empirical evidence consists of a case study of a late-stage open-innovation project aimed at creating a hybrid ship that uses liquid natural gas and hydrogen as power sources. The results show that the effectuation approach is preferable to open innovation when the initiator of open innovation aims to keep sensitive information inside the closed group, when the initiator has established an effective team of representatives from other firms from earlier innovation projects, and when the participants are geographically close. }, keywords = {causation, effectuation, Norway, Open innovation, partner selection}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/674}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/674}, author = {Marina Z.
