Following a public{\textendash}private partnership (PPP) model, there is a general belief among policy makers that the revenue from government-to-consumer (G2C) services would be sufficient to cover the village-level entrepreneurs{\textquoteright} cash flow requirements and therefore provide financial sustainability. Also, the literature suggests that telecentres have a large enough market for public-access businesses to be commercially viable. In India, around 100,000 telecentres are being set up to serve 600,000 villages {\textendash} one telecentre for every six villages {\textendash} to provide one-window access to government services. In the literature, a lack of government services is often quoted as a reason for telecentre failure. This study, using an exploratory approach, aims to understand the parameters that relate to the sustainability of telecentres across a number of common, government-related services. It is observed that some telecentres perform better than the others even though they have the same number of government-related services. Reasons for such differences are explored and the learnings from this research will benefit the stakeholders who are engaged in providing telecentre-based services in other developing countries. In addition, a theoretical framework is suggested to understand the dynamics between different types of sustainability parameters such as financial, social, staff, technology, and institutional. The findings of this research have policy implications in terms of the way services are designed and delivered through telecentres in developing countries such as India. }, keywords = {developing countries, entrepreneurship, India, services, sustainability, telecentres}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1130}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/1130}, author = {Gaurav Mishra and Balakrishnan Unny R} } @article {1108, title = {Editorial: Blockchain (October 2017)}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {7}, year = {2017}, month = {10/2017}, pages = {3-5}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, keywords = {authentication, Bitcoin, blockchain, cryptography, digital identity, economics, healthcare, internal audit, services, smart contracts, transactions, trust}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1108}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/1108}, author = {Chris McPhee and Anton Ljutic} } @article {793, title = {Integrating Design for All in Living Labs}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {4}, year = {2014}, month = {05/2014}, pages = {50-59}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {The European Union has identified innovation as a key driver behind business competitiveness and responsive governance.

The purpose of this article is to study how different knowledge-based antecedents influence the ability of service organizations to innovate. Using data about the Norwegian service sector from the 2010 Community Innovation Survey, we examined how three types of competence, namely R\&D activities, employee-based activities, and customer-related activities, influence the propensity of firms to introduce radical or incremental innovations. The results show that R\&D-based competence is important for service firms when pursuing radical innovations, whereas employee-based activities such as idea collaboration are only found to influence incremental innovations. The use of customer information was found to be an important driver for both radical and incremental innovations. The findings points to managerial challenges in creating and balancing the types of competence needed, depending on type of innovation targeted by an organization. }, keywords = {community innovation survey, competences, innovation, innovation novelty, services}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/781}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/781}, author = {Marit Engen and Inger Elisabeth Holen} } @article {739, title = {Editorial: Living Labs (November 2013)}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {3}, year = {2013}, month = {11/2013}, pages = {3-4}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, keywords = {design, living labs, networks, Open innovation, regional development, services}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/739}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/739}, author = {Chris McPhee and Seppo Leminen and Mika Westerlund} } @article {718, title = {Servitization in a Security Business: Changing the Logic of Value Creation}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {3}, year = {2013}, month = {08/2013}, pages = {65-72}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {How can a firm change its value-creation logic from providing technology to selling technology-based services?
