More specifically, it addresses the computer science-derived notion of "social machines", along with the invention of distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) (or blockchain), as potential signposts on the pathway to "smart(er) digital economies". The paper investigates blockchain-based ecosystems as examples of social machines that assist in economic "smartification" and development. It looks at distributed ledger-based communities (DLCs) that provide examples of functioning social machines for a variety of business and personal network communications purposes. It then analyses the scaleup of DLT-based social machines by comparison with "extension services", largely in education and agriculture, which are currently undergoing processes of digitalization. Overall, this conceptual study examines the general horizons and potential impact of blockchain and social machines on the provision of online products and services, across a range of sectors and industries. The paper offers interpretative assistance to managers, entrepreneurs, technology experts, and academics with lingering questions about blockchain in and for business and economic development.10aartificial intelligence10ablockchain10adigital economy10adigital platform10adistributed ledger technology10aeconomic development10aextension services10aextension thinking10ainnovation diffusion10aInternet of Things10aledger community10asmartification10asocial machines10aweb science1 aSandstrom, Gregory  utimreview.ca/article/144902240nas a2200253   4500008004100000022001400041245007900055210006900134260004200203300001000245490000600255520150200261653001601763653002501779653001701804653001401821653001701835653001601852653001301868653003201881100001901913700001801932856003601950       2013                        eng d  a1927-032100aAn Ecosystem-Based Job-Creation Engine Fuelled by Technology Entrepreneurs0 aEcosystemBased JobCreation Engine Fuelled by Technology Entrepre  aOttawabTalent First Networkc02/2013  a31-400 v33 aJob creation is at the centre of the rationale provided by governments and publicly funded organizations for investing in services purported to support entrepreneurs to launch and grow technology startups. However, little is known about how to design and build the engines that convert these publicly funded services into jobs in a region. In this article, we argue that the architecture of a job-creation engine fuelled by technology entrepreneurs is important and that it should be made visible to the stakeholders of a regional venture system. The manner in which the components of a job-creation engine are organized and integrated determines the effectiveness and efficiency of the conversion of public funds into jobs. Making visible the architecture of a job-creation engine enables individuals and organizations to: i) better understand the link between the investment made to service technology entrepreneurs and systematic job creation; ii) utilize the regional venture system more effectively; and iii) set the performance benchmark for capability improvement and rapid adjustment to environmental changes. The experience gained from operating Lead To Win since 2009 is used to describe the architecture of a job-creation engine fuelled by technology entrepreneurs that operate in Canada’s Capital Region. Lead To Win is an ecosystem designed to help a technology venture generate sufficient revenue to create six or more knowledge jobs in the region within three years of inception. 10aaccelerator10aeconomic development10aentrepreneur10aincubator10ajob creation10aLead To Win10astartups10atechnology entrepreneurship1 aBailetti, Tony1 aBot, Sonia, D  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/65800601nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245005000055210004700105260004200152300000800194490000600202653001800208653002500226653002600251653002000277653002000297100001800317700002400335856003600359       2013                        eng d  a1927-032100aEditorial: Local Open Innovation (March 2013)0 aEditorial Local Open Innovation March 2013  aOttawabTalent First Networkc03/2013  a3-50 v310acollaboration10aeconomic development10alocal open innovation10aOpen innovation10aproblem solving1 aMcPhee, Chris1 aDeutsch, Christophe  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/66301412nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245009100055210006900146260004200215300001000257490000600267520070300273653001800976653002500994653002601019653002001045653003701065653002701102100002901129856003601158       2013                        eng d  a1927-032100aQuebec Seeks Solutions: An Economic Development Agency's Role in Local Open Innovation0 aQuebec Seeks Solutions An Economic Development Agencys Role in L  aOttawabTalent First Networkc03/2013  a27-320 v33 aThis article offers an economic-development perspective on a new method for local companies to find innovative solutions to their most challenging business problems: local open innovation. Quebec International, the economic development agency for the Quebec City area, contributed to the development of the Seeking Solutions approach to local open innovation, which included the hosting of problem-solving conferences with local research centres, economic development actors, and companies. Looking back on our experiences and outcomes since 2010, this article shows how the development and introduction of this new approach to local open innovation has changed the rules of the game in the region.10acollaboration10aeconomic development10alocal open innovation10aOpen innovation10aprivate research and development10aQuebec Seeks Solutions1 aBerger Masson, Alexandra  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/66701481nas a2200217   4500008003900000022001400039245007800053210006900131260004200200300001000242490000600252520083400258653001601092653002501108653002101133653001801154653002501172653001201197100001801209856003601227       2012                          d  a1927-032100aGlobal Mindset: An Entrepreneur's Perspective on the Born-Global Approach0 aGlobal Mindset An Entrepreneurs Perspective on the BornGlobal Ap  aOttawabTalent First Networkc10/2012  a27-310 v23 aThe born-global approach calls for a startup to address the needs of a global market from inception. This approach provides an attractive alternative to the conventional staged approach to internationalization whereby a startup first operates in its home market and then enters one or more foreign markets sequentially. This article highlights the mindset change that an entrepreneur must make to move from the conventional staged approach to the born-global approach. The author of this article is an experienced entrepreneur and the article describes his own mindset change that occurred when enacting the born-global approach. The author uses his own experience and company as a case study to develop recommendations for other entrepreneurs who are evaluating the born-global approach to launch and grow a technology company. 10aborn global10aeconomic development10aentrepreneurship10aglobalization10ainternationalization10astartup1 aPoole, Robert  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/61701522nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245006000055210005600115260001200171300001000183490000600193520090300199653001901102653002501121653002101146653002601167653001301193653001301206653001701219100002001236856003601256       2012                        eng d  a1927-032100aThe Role of Universities in Technology Entrepreneurship0 aRole of Universities in Technology Entrepreneurship  c04/2012  a35-400 v23 aThis article discusses the role that universities play in the process of technology entrepreneurship, where entrepreneurship is restricted to the process of launching and supporting small and medium-sized technology-based businesses. The article briefly discusses a few of the issues that influence a university’s participation in the process of entrepreneurship. Although there is no “one-size-fits-all” model, the article discusses various ways that Canadian universities may help entrepreneurs, including contract research, the provision of business parks, and sensible handling of intellectual property issues.    Finally, the article suggests that the return on “investment”, for both the university and the province, is a difficult thing to measure – nevertheless, participation in the entrepreneurship process may result in some tangible and intangible benefits for both parties.10abusiness parks10aeconomic development10aentrepreneurship10aintellectual property10aresearch10aspinoffs10auniversities1 aWells, Jonathan  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/549
