While ULLs have achieved a certain level of normalisation in cities, a general lack of understanding remains regarding the character and purpose of the ULL phenomenon still leaves many challenges open to be overcome. One challenge involves the potential impact of ULLs in contributing to meaningful transformative changes. By combining a literature review with a comparative case study of three ULLs in the city of Groningen, the Netherlands, this study confirms and adds to current theoretical positions taken about how to overcome the challenge in terms of holding a shared ideology and reviewing the concepts of agency and power. It also shows that opportunity comes along with trust-building among stakeholders in ULLs, as a way to enhance their potential in practise. Consequently, this study calls for further research regarding underexplored theories and models of ULLs, power dynamics in ULLs, and into their self-sustaining character, both in terms of social adoption and ownership, as well as financial sustainability.10aImpact Creation10aTransformative Changes10aTrust Building10aurban living labs1 aBlezer, Stefano1 aAbujidi, Nurhan  utimreview.ca/article/146602228nas a2200277   4500008004100000022001400041245010200055210006900157260004200226300001000268490000700278520139300285653002601678653002101704653001701725653002901742653002201771653001801793100002001811700001701831700001701848700001901865700001801884700001801902856003001920       2021                        eng d  a1927-032100aUsing Web Text Analytics to Categorize the Business Focus  of Innovative Digital Health Companies0 aUsing Web Text Analytics to Categorize the Business Focus of Inn  aOttawabTalent First Networkc10/2021  a65-780 v113 aCategorizing the market focus of larger samples of companies can be a tedious and time-consuming process for both researchers and business analysts interested in developing insights about emerging business sectors. The objective of this article is to suggest a text analytics approach to categorizing the application areas of companies operating in the digital health sector based on the information provided on their websites. More specifically, we apply topic modeling on a collection of text documents, including information collected from the websites of a sample of 100 innovative digital health companies. The topic model helps in grouping the companies offering similar types of market offers. It enables identifying the companies that are most highly associated with each of the topics. In addition, it allows identifying some of the emerging themes that are discussed online by the companies, as well as their specific market offers. The results will be of interest to inspiring technology entrepreneurs, organizations supporting new ventures, and business accelerators interested to enhance their services to new venture clients. The development, operationalization, and automation of the company categorization process based on publicly available information is a methodological contribution that opens the opportunity for future applications in research and business practice.10aDigital health sector10amachine learning10aMarket offer10atopic modeling algorithm10avalue proposition10aweb analytics1 aAweisi, Abdulla1 aArora, Daman1 aEmby, Renée1 aRehman, Madiha1 aTanev, George1 aTanev, Stoyan  utimreview.ca/article/145702384nas a2200277   4500008004100000022001400041245010500055210006900160260004200229300001000271490000700281520151800288653002301806653002101829653002701850653001901877653002401896653003101920653002501951653002001976653002101996100002302017700001502040700002102055856003002076       2020                        eng d  a1927-032100aUnderstanding Civic Crowdfunding as a Mechanism for Leveraging Civic Engagement and Urban Innovation0 aUnderstanding Civic Crowdfunding as a Mechanism for Leveraging C  aOttawabTalent First Networkc05/2020  a51-660 v103 aThis article studies the emergence of government-initiated civic crowdfunding platforms. Such platforms can be considered as governmental responses for bottom-up peer-to-peer support mechanisms related to urban innovation, which also allows top-down governance and governmental support systems for civic entrepreneurship. To better understand the implications of these innovative ICT-enabled interaction interfaces for collective urban innovation, this study investigates participation inequalities from the perspective of campaign instigators, using in-depth interviews (N=28), and from the perspective of the citizen-funder, using a survey (N=265). The analysis shows that urban crowdfunding practices mainly contribute to higher-level development of collective identities with increased neighborhood capacities. Although participation in such ICT-enabled interaction interfaces could reinforce digital inequalities and existing power balances, this research shows a more nuanced perspective, in which online and offline practices intertwine. Furthermore, while civic crowdfunding campaigns are driven by a traditional 'participation elite', the deliberation process on development projects involves new publics that are not typically engaged in civic activities. Hence, civic crowdfunding formulates a new mode of civic engagement in which institutional involvement acts as a trust broker between civic funders and civic entrepreneurs, as well as adding legitimacy to innovation processes in the public sphere.10aCivic crowdfunding10aCivic engagement10aCivic entrepreneurship10aCivic identity10aDigital citizenship10aParticipation inequalities10aPeer-to-peer economy10aSocial cohesion10aUrban innovation1 aBaccarne, Bastiaan1 aEvens, Tom1 aDe Marez, Lieven  utimreview.ca/article/135602037nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245007200055210006900127260004200196300000900238490000700247520136200254653002401616653001501640653003201655653003001687653003301717100001801750700002101768856003001789       2020                        eng d  a1927-032100aUnderstanding the Strategy-Innovation Link in an Era of Disruptions0 aUnderstanding the StrategyInnovation Link in an Era of Disruptio  aOttawabTalent First Networkc08/2020  a4-130 v103 aWhereas innovation and strategy traditionally are treated as two separate fields of expertise and research, this conceptual paper aims to identify how strategy theory can be linked to recent developments within the innovation field. Innovation research seeks to explain the process of creating new products and services. Strategy research, in turn, intends to explain how businesses create lasting competitive advantages. In recent years, research in strategy has shifted towards explaining how organizational capabilities and environmental turbulence are related, increasingly recognizing that it is difficult to retain sustainable competitive advantages, unless market dynamics and business renewal are addressed. To establish a systematic integration and analysis, we present the results of an extensive literature review of 1,268 research articles published between 2007-2017 to address the question: <em>To what degree, and how, have strategy and innovation been linked in leading management journals?</em> Our analysis reveals that research addressing both strategy and innovation is limited, but highly cited. Moreover, we identify 5 main themes, which in turn reflected 12 subsidiary themes addressed in extant research. These themes combine to give important insights about the research that been done and what is likely to be needed going forward.10aConceptual research10adisruption10aorganizational capabilities10astrategy-innovation link.10astructured literature review1 aBreunig, Karl1 aSkjølsvik, Tale  utimreview.ca/article/137601787nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245007400055210006900129260004200198300001000240490000700250520113100257653002101388653001401409653001501423653001101438653000901449100002801458700001901486700002201505856003001527       2020                        eng d  a1927-032100aUsing Foresight to Shape Future Expectations in Circular Economy SMEs0 aUsing Foresight to Shape Future Expectations in Circular Economy  aOttawabTalent First Networkc07/2020  a42-510 v103 aFuture foresight in business plays a central role in firms&rsquo; strategic planning, innovation, and product development activities.

This article studies future foresight mechanisms and practices in innovative SMEs operating in circular economy&ndash;related industries. The future demands set by legislation and regulation, consumer buying behaviour, and environmental consciousness, all have a strong impact on an SME&rsquo;s future horizon, in which there may be prosperous business opportunities as well as several challenges. This paper presents a qualitative case study conducted on seven Finnish circular economy-oriented SMEs. The case study reveals that the SMEs in this industrial sector are quite active in foresight activities, and that they have developed a variety of practices for effectively utilizing foresight information in their product development and strategic planning activities.10acircular economy10aforesight10ainnovation10aPESTEL10aSMEs1 aJärvenpää, Anne-Mari1 aKunttu, Iivari1 aMäntyneva, Mikko  utimreview.ca/article/137401652nas a2200277   4500008004100000022001400041245008100055210006900136260004200205300001000247490000600257520085500263653001301118653001701131653001901148653001601167653002001183653002701203653002201230653001801252653001701270100001501287700002401302700001801326856003001344       2019                        eng d  a1927-032100aUncovering Research Streams in the Data Economy Using Text Mining Algorithms0 aUncovering Research Streams in the Data Economy Using Text Minin  aOttawabTalent First Networkc11/2019  a62-740 v93 aData-driven business models arise in different social and industrial sectors, while new sensors and devices are breaking down the barriers for disruptive ideas and digitally transforming established solutions.

By gaining a better understanding of how different architectural layers of digital technology interplay with digital innovation, we can be better prepared for managing the complex and messy processes that often arise when working with digital innovation. In this article, we therefore ask: How does the layered architecture of digital technology interplay with digital innovation processes? A case study approach was selected to studied events involving multiple actors in an innovation and development project called the Smart Lock project. The theoretical basis for our study is digital innovation from the perspective of knowledge exchange and relationships. A temporal bracketing strategy was used to support a process analysis of the case data. The article primarily contributes to the body of research concerning digital innovation and provides an example to practitioners of how digital innovation processes can be coordinated and managed based on the innovation at hand.10acollaborative innovation10aconcept development10adigital innovation10adigital technology10ainnovation process1 aLund, Jesper1 aEbbesson, Esbjörn  uhttps://timreview.ca/article/121801840nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245006900055210006700124260004200191300001000233490000600243520113000249653003101379653003101410653003101441653002001472653001701492653003501509100001901544700001701563856003001580       2019                        eng d  a1927-032100aA University Business School as an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Hub0 aUniversity Business School as an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Hub  aOttawabTalent First Networkc11/2019  a15-250 v93 aThis article assesses the progress of a business school toward achieving the status of an entrepreneurial ecosystem hub with emphasis on the components related to entrepreneurial universities, entrepreneurship education, university business incubators, and university-enterprise-government-civil society collaboration. The objective of a business school serving as an entrepreneurial ecosystem hub, is to stimulate economic development, generate employment, and create innovative technology-based ventures or service businesses. These components are discussed from theoretical and practical viewpoints in order to provide greater understanding of the concepts. An insider action research assessment of the university-affiliated business school was conducted to gauge the progress made in building an embryonic entrepreneurial ecosystem centered upon a business school as a hub. Emphasis is placed on the need to develop strong collaboration among key stakeholders for achieving success in building an effective entrepreneurial ecosystem based on a quadruple helix system, consistent with the lead-in quotation to the article.10aentrepreneurial ecosystems10aentrepreneurial university10aentrepreneurship education10aquadruple helix10atriple helix10auniversity business incubation1 aAllahar, Haven1 aSookram, Ron  utimreview.ca/article/128002142nas a2200277   4500008004100000022001400041245008300055210006900138260004200207300001000249490000600259520135000265653001501615653001501630653001901645653001501664653002701679653000801706653000801714653001101722653002101733100002101754700002301775700002801798856003801826       2019                        eng d  a1927-032100aUrban Living Labs: Towards an Integrated Understanding of their Key Components0 aUrban Living Labs Towards an Integrated Understanding of their K  aOttawabTalent First Networkc03/2019  a50-620 v93 aIn today’s ongoing urbanization and escalating climate change, there is an increasing demand on cities to be innovative and inclusive to handle these emerging issues. As an answer to these challenges, and in order to generate and adopt sustainable innovations and nature-based solutions in the urban areas, the concept of urban living labs has emerged. However, to date, there is confusion concerning the concept of the urban living lab and its key components. Some interpret the urban living lab as an approach, others as a single project, and some as a specific place – and some just do not know. In order to unravel this complexity and better understand this concept, we sought to identify the key components of an urban living lab by discussing the perspective of city representatives in the context of an urban living lab project. To achieve this goal, we reviewed previous literature on this topic and carried out two workshops with city representatives, followed by an open-ended questionnaire. In this article, we identify and discuss seven key components of an urban living lab: governance and management structure; financing models; urban context; nature-based solutions; partners and users (including citizens); approach; and ICT and infrastructure. We also offer an empirically derived definition of the urban living lab concept.10adefinition10ainnovation10akey components10aLiving lab10anature-based solutions10aNBS10aULL10aUNaLab10aurban living lab1 aChronéer, Diana1 aStåhlbröst, Anna1 aHabibipour, Abdolrasoul  uhttps://timreview.ca/article/122401814nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245008900055210006900144260004200213300001000255490000600265520111900271653002001390653002801410653001501438653003201453653002401485100003101509700001801540856003801558       2019                        eng d  a1927-032100aUsing Action Research to Organize Technology Transfer in Complex Innovation Contexts0 aUsing Action Research to Organize Technology Transfer in Complex  aOttawabTalent First Networkc04/2019  a17-260 v93 aTechnology transfer projects increasingly consist of multiple, diverse organizations, with each pursuing their own agenda as well as that of the overarching programme. In this article, we adopt a participatory action research methodology in order to explain and improve the coordination of the autonomous innovation activities within an organizationally complex project. The context of the research involved the transfer of rice production technology from China to Mozambique. The action research identified four categories of boundary within the project that were hindering performance: Intellectual/Land property rights; Public/Private sector logics; Inside/Outside programme; and Collaboration/Competition between programme actors. The process of co-inquiry with stakeholders enabled by the action research allowed programme actors to reach an understanding of others, and it created a new thinking space for mutual problem solving. By these means, the action research process makes a resource of the differences between stakeholders rather than it being seen as a barrier to be compromised through negotiation.10aaction research10aagricultural innovation10aboundaries10ainternational collaboration10atechnology transfer1 aUssivane, Armando, Machevo1 aEllwood, Paul  uhttps://timreview.ca/article/123002504nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245014300055210006900198260004200267300001000309490000600319520176400325653002502089653002102114653001002135653001302145653001902158653001602177100001902193700002502212856003702237       2018                        eng d  a1927-032100aUnderstanding the Role of Rural Entrepreneurs in Telecentre Sustainability: A Comparative Study of the Akshaya and eSeva Projects in India0 aUnderstanding the Role of Rural Entrepreneurs in Telecentre Sust  aOttawabTalent First Networkc01/2018  a16-230 v83 aIn rural areas of India, telecentres provide access to computers and other digital technologies and have been utilized as a delivery channel for various government services. Following a public–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’ 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 – one telecentre for every six villages – 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. 10adeveloping countries10aentrepreneurship10aIndia10aservices10asustainability10atelecentres1 aMishra, Gaurav1 aUnny R, Balakrishnan  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/113002095nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245015800055210006900213260004200282300000900324490000600333520135800339653001301697653001301710653001801723653002801741653001501769653003301784100002201817856003801839       2018                        eng d  a1927-032100aUsing Constructive Research to Structure the Path to Transdisciplinary Innovation and Its Application for Precision Public Health with Big Data Analytics0 aUsing Constructive Research to Structure the Path to Transdiscip  aOttawabTalent First Networkc08/2018  a7-150 v83 aNew approaches to complex societal challenges require a diverse mix of resources and skillsets from different disciplines to create solutions that are of a transdisciplinary innovation nature. The constructive research method enables the purposeful creation of methods, modules, tools, and techniques that have applicability well beyond the case study that motivated their creation. This research presents a bottom-up approach that follows a structured path to transdisciplinary innovation. A method is presented that demonstrates how a set of innovative research collaborations progress from disciplinary innovation to multidisciplinary innovation and ultimately onto interdisciplinary innovation. Anchored in overlapping computer science concepts, drawing on the constructive research methodology for purposeful synthesis and integration between the projects, a greater transdisciplinary goal can emerge. This method is demonstrated through a case study involving a set of big data analytics research projects involving diverse disciplines such as computer science, critical care medicine, aerospace, tactical operations, and public health. The resultant collective vision for transdisciplinary innovation that has resulted offers new approaches to maintaining individual wellness within communities across their entire lifespan on earth and in space.10aadaption10abig data10acritical care10aprecision public health10aresilience10atransdisciplinary innovation1 aMcGregor, Carolyn  uhttps://timreview.ca/article/117402229nas a2200253   4500008004100000022001400041245012500055210007100180260004200251300001000293490000600303520137500309653003101684653002601715653003301741653001701774653004001791100002101831700001901852700001701871700002401888700002601912856003701938       2017                        eng d  a1927-032100aA University–Industry Collaborative Entrepreneurship Education Program as a Trading Zone: The Case of Osaka University0 aUniversity–Industry Collaborative Entrepreneurship Education Pro  aOttawabTalent First Networkc06/2017  a38-490 v73 aTwo complementary problems are that busy practitioners find it difficult to access academic knowledge and university students lack practical experience. University–industry collaborative education is a potential solution for both of these problems by bringing together theoretical insights from universities and experiential know-how from industry. However, university–industry collaborative education has not been sufficiently studied to offer clear frameworks and mechanisms to foster effective knowledge exchanges between these two groups. In this article, we propose the metaphor of a “trading zone” as a potential analytical framework for implementing this method of education. Applying this framework to the analysis of a university–industry collaborative education program, this study proposes that the exchange of knowledge between students and practitioners is the essential learning experience and that it is made more meaningful by the heterogeneity between students and practitioners. The shared language provided by the program and those who deliver it make the exchanges efficient, and the temporary and extraordinary nature of the program accelerate those exchanges. Here, we analyze the case of Osaka University in Japan to illustrate the framework and develop associated propositions to encourage further study and validation of the framework.10aentrepreneurship education10aexperiential learning10atechnology commercialization10atrading zone10auniversity–industry collaboration1 aNakagawa, Koichi1 aTakata, Megumi1 aKato, Kosuke1 aMatsuyuki, Terumasa1 aMatsuhashi, Toshihiko  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/108302261nas a2200265   4500008004100000022001400041245012800055210006900183260004200252300001000294490000600304520139900310653001401709653002801723653002601751653002101777653002401798653003001822653002901852100001801881700001801899700002301917700001801940856003701958       2017                        eng d  a1927-032100aUsing Artificial Intelligence and Web Media Data to Evaluate the Growth Potential of Companies in Emerging Industry Sectors0 aUsing Artificial Intelligence and Web Media Data to Evaluate the  aOttawabTalent First Networkc06/2017  a25-370 v73 aIn this article, we describe our efforts to adapt and validate a web search and analytics tool – the Gnowit Cognitive Insight Engine – to evaluate the growth and competitive potential of new technology startups and existing firms in the newly emerging precision medicine sector. The results are based on two different search ontologies and two different samples of firms. The first sample includes established drug companies operating in the precision medicine field and was used to estimate the relationship between the firms’ innovativeness and the extent of online discussions focusing on their potential growth. The second sample includes new technology firms in the same sector. The firms in the second sample were used as test cases to determine whether their growth-related web search scores would relate to the degree of their innovativeness. The second part of the study applied the same methodology to the real-time monitoring of the firms’ competitive actions. In our findings, we see that our methodology reveals a moderate degree of correlation between the Insight Engine’s algorithmically computed relevance scores and independent measures of innovation potential. The existence of such correlations invites future work in attempting to analyze company growth potential using techniques founded in web content scraping, natural language processing, and machine learning.10aanalytics10aartificial intelligence10abusiness intelligence10aentrepreneurship10aonline textual data10aprecision medicine sector10astartup growth potential1 aDroll, Andrew1 aKhan, Shahzad1 aEkhlas, Ehsanullah1 aTanev, Stoyan  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/108201670nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245009600055210006900151260004200220300000900262490000600271520094500277653001601222653003101238653001701269653001501286653003201301653002001333100002001353700003101373856003601404       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aUnderground Innovation: How to Encourage Bootlegging Employees to Disclose Their Good Ideas0 aUnderground Innovation How to Encourage Bootlegging Employees to  aOttawabTalent First Networkc03/2016  a5-120 v63 aEmployees are increasingly considered as the origin of many corporate entrepreneurial ideas. Research on “bootlegging” posits that individuals often resort to hidden activities to elaborate their initial ideas and bring them to fruition. The origins and causes of bootlegging behaviour are well argued in the literature. Yet, less is known about what drives bootleggers to uncover their hidden ideas. This research uses field data from in-depth interviews with innovators in R&D departments in different industries of Iran to identify factors stimulating bootleggers to reveal their underground ideas. We identified five groups of factors at individual, managerial, firm, industrial, and idea levels, explaining the revealing stage of bootlegging behaviour. The findings provide a better understanding of the later phases of bootlegging behaviour and the possible role of context-specific factors such as cultural and religious beliefs.10abootlegging10acorporate entrepreneurship10ahidden ideas10ainnovation10aqualitative research method10aR&D departments1 aSakhdari, Kamal1 aBidakhavidi, Erfan, Jalali  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/97001780nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245009500055210006900150260004200219300001000261490000600271520111500277653000901392653001501401653001101416653001901427653001001446100001901456700002001475700001901495856003601514       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aUrban Living Labs for Sustainability in Suburbs in Need of Modernization and Social Uplift0 aUrban Living Labs for Sustainability in Suburbs in Need of Moder  aOttawabTalent First Networkc01/2016  a27-340 v63 aA number of urban living labs have been set up in recent years, with the aim of developing innovation processes within a multi-stakeholder partnership in an urban context. Several urban living labs focus on sustainable development, which is a visible and urgent issue in less valued suburbs in need of modernization and social uplift. We argue that, when applying the living labs approach in the context of sustainable development in suburbs, the primary focus should be society’s collective goals, as expressed through municipalities and users. The aim of this article is to show examples of how urban living labs can be applied in less valued suburbs in order to contribute to sustainability based on societal goals. We build on analyses from the research project SubUrbanLab, where urban living labs were set up in Alby and Peltosaari, two suburban areas in Sweden and Finland, respectively. We draw lessons regarding how to use urban living labs for sustainable development in order to create favourable conditions for ongoing engagement with the municipality and users towards long-term sustainability. 10acity10aLiving lab10asuburb10asustainability10aurban1 aBuhr, Katarina1 aFederley, Maija1 aKarlsson, Anja  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/95801777nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245009500055210006900150260004200219300000900261490000600270520109600276653003001372653001801402653001401420653002101434653002401455100002301479700002101502856003601523       2015                        eng d  a1927-032100aUsing Entrepreneurial Marketing to Foster Reseller Adoption of Smart Micro-Grid Technology0 aUsing Entrepreneurial Marketing to Foster Reseller Adoption of S  aOttawabTalent First Networkc09/2015  a5-160 v53 aThis article investigates how entrepreneurial marketing can encourage resellers to adopt smart micro-grid technology. An online survey based on the literature on user adoption and entrepreneurial marketing was used to gather data from 99 power systems resellers. The data were analyzed using the partial least squares method to validate a model of the relationships between reseller’s antecedents and intention to adopt smart micro-grid technology, and the role of vendor’s entrepreneurial marketing in the adoption. The results suggest that user adoption models can only partially be applied to the reseller context, and future research should develop models that can further explain reseller’s decision making with regards to becoming involved in an emerging technology. As to the implications for practice, vendors need to demonstrate proactive entrepreneurial marketing, particularly entrepreneurial orientation, to increase the performance expectancy perceived by their resellers by increasing awareness and understanding of smart micro-grid technology to cultivate its diffusion.10aentrepreneurial marketing10apower systems10aresellers10asmart micro-grid10atechnology adoption1 aKavandi, Hamidreza1 aWesterlund, Mika  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/92501261nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245004500055210004100100260004200141300001000183490000600193520067500199653001600874653002300890653002300913653003200936100002500968700002600993856003601019       2014                        eng d  a1927-032100aUniversity Spinoffs: What, Why, and How?0 aUniversity Spinoffs What Why and How  aOttawabTalent First Networkc12/2014  a44-500 v43 aUniversity spinoffs have remarkably strengthened the linkage between universities and industry.

The IT function must balance this need for change with sustaining consistent, highly reliable operation of all existing services. A firm’s ability to rapidly change IT is impeded by its legacy portfolio of applications and infrastructure because changes need to be very carefully managed and understood in order to avoid unintended consequences leading to system failure and process breakdown. The change imperative for IT is urgent and often determines how IT is valued by the rest of the firm. 

Improving the IT function’s agility requires improvement in IT capabilities, which can be categorized into three broad classes: technology, process, and competency. This article identifies the critical success factors for creating sustainable change for each of these three capability classes. It draws on the practical experience of the authors and leverages appropriate standards that provide grounding for change within the IT function of the firm, along with the roles and tasks that will be involved in this change agency. The article is of primary benefit for IT executives seeking to sustain an ongoing, systematic transformation of the IT function to enable IT entrepreneurship and agility.10acapability improvement10acapability maturity model10achange management10acompetency capability10aenterprise architecture10aIT function10aorganizational culture10aorganizational learning10aprocess capability10ashadow IT10atechnology capability1 aRenaud, Paul, E1 aNarkier, Sheppard, D.1 aBot, Sonia, D  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/80201547nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245008400055210006900139260004200208300001000250490000600260520087900266653001501145653002501160653000901185653004201194653001501236100002101251700002101272856003601293       2014                        eng d  a1927-032100aUsing Trademarks to Measure Innovation in Knowledge-Intensive Business Services0 aUsing Trademarks to Measure Innovation in KnowledgeIntensive Bus  aOttawabTalent First Networkc05/2014  a18-300 v43 aWe present an empirical approach to measuring service innovation on the company level through the analysis of trademarks. Prior empirical investigations in several industries have shown that a trademark may be used as an innovation indicator. This article explores the use and relevance of trademarks by conducting a survey in the knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) industries with 278 participating companies. Our survey results explain the use of trademarks as a way to protect innovation and intellectual property for KIBS. In sum, we show that trademarks can be described as adequate and useful indicators to measure new service innovations in the KIBS industries. Additionally, we show that trademarks have the potential to overcome weaknesses of traditional measurement concepts towards KIBS innovation and might make special surveys redundant in the future.10ainnovation10ainnovation indicator10aKIBS10aknowledge-intensive business services10atrademarks1 aGotsch, Matthias1 aHipp, Christiane  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/79003136nas a2200253   4500008004100000022001400041245012500055210006900180260004200249300001000291490000600301520228500307653002602592653001902618653001802637653002002655653002402675653004002699653003302739100002402772700002202796700002802818856003602846       2013                        eng d  a1927-032100aUniversity-SME Collaboration and Open Innovation: Intellectual-Property Management Tools and the Roles of Intermediaries0 aUniversitySME Collaboration and Open Innovation IntellectualProp  aOttawabTalent First Networkc03/2013  a33-410 v33 aIn 2009, the Conseil de la science et de la technologie du Québec (CST) made 13 recommendations to the Government of Quebec in order to shift innovative actors towards open-innovation practices adapted to the province's context: diversified economic sectors, a majority of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), public universities, etc. Among these recommendations are: i) to set up flexible mechanisms to promote research collaboration between public-private sectors such as universities and SMEs, and ii) to optimize intermediation bodies’ contribution to establish open-innovation practices. Furthermore, the lack of adequate understanding and tools for the management of intellectual property (IP) was identified as a major inhibitor of open-innovation practices, to which actors should pay specific attention. In this article, we present results and recommendations from a field study focused on two groups of actors: i) companies involved in collaborative innovation and ii) intermediary agents enabling innovation and technology transfer. Our first goal was to shed some light on factors that facilitate open innovation through improved university-enterprise collaborations and, more importantly, that attempt to overcome the irritants related to IP management. Our second goal was to analyze the roles of diverse intermediaries in the fostering of successful collaborations between universities and SMEs. 

Our study yielded three findings: i) SMEs do not care about understanding and improving their capabilities about IP and are not equipped with adequate tools and best practices for managing IP and for managing the overall collaborative mechanisms in general; ii) this gap in preparation for open innovation is persistent, since even the intermediaries, whose role is to guide SMEs in university-enterprise collaborations, suffer themselves from the lack of appropriate IP transfer and sharing tools, and do not perceive the need to offer better support in this regard; and iii) overall, current IP-transfer and collaboration-management tools are not sophisticated enough to provide appropriate support for the implementation of open innovation, by which we mean more open and collaborative innovation in the context of university-enterprise collaborations.10aintellectual property10aintermediaries10aIP management10aOpen innovation10atechnology transfer10auniversity-enterprise collaboration10auniversity-SME collaboration1 aDeschamps, Isabelle1 aMacedo, Maria, G.1 aEve-Levesque, Christian  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/66801820nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245006900055210006900124260004200193300001000235490000600245520112200251653002401373653003801397653001601435653001501451653002401466653002701490100001801517700001901535856003601554       2013                        eng d  a1927-032100aUsing Boundary Management for More Effective Product Development0 aUsing Boundary Management for More Effective Product Development  aOttawabTalent First Networkc10/2013  a30-350 v33 aTwenty years ago, most companies developed their own products in a single location and brought them to market themselves. Today, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are enlisting partners on a global scale as subsystem designers and producers in order to create and deliver new products into the market more rapidly and more frequently. This is especially true for large, complex products from the aerospace, telecommunications, electronics, and software industries. To assure the delivery of information across organizational boundaries, new coordination mechanisms need to be adopted (boundary management). In this article, best practices are described on how OEMs and partners self-organize and use agile, cooperative techniques to maintain daily communication among numerous internal and partner engineers to better coordinate product design and system integration. This article focuses on examples from the aerospace industry; however; these tactics can be applied in any organization to innovate at faster rates, to make delivery times more predictable, and to realize shorter product development timelines.10aboundary management10acollaborative product development10aoutsourcing10apartnering10aproduct development10areview-approve process1 aThomson, John1 aThomson, Vince  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/73401294nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245003900055210003900094260001200133300001000145490000600155520076000161653002100921653002800942653001800970653002200988653002301010100001901033856003601052       2012                        eng d  a1927-032100aUser Frustrations as Opportunities0 aUser Frustrations as Opportunities  c04/2012  a17-200 v23 aUser frustrations are an excellent source of new product ideas. Starting with this observation, this article describes an approach that entrepreneurs can use to discover business opportunities. Opportunity discovery starts with a problem that the user has, but may not be able to articulate. User-centered design techniques can help elicit those latent needs. The entrepreneur should then try to understand how users are solving their problem today, before proposing a solution that draws on the unique skills and technical capabilities available to the entrepreneur. Finally, an in-depth understanding of the user allows the entrepreneur to hone in on the points of difference and resonance that are the foundation of a strong customer value proposition.10aentrepreneurship10aopportunity development10auser feedback10auser frustrations10avalue propositions1 aWeiss, Michael  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/54601854nas a2200253   4500008003900000022001400039245008900053210006900142260004200211300001000253490000600263520109400269653001601363653002101379653001801400653002501418653003101443653001701474653001301491653002001504653002301524100001701547856003601564       2012                          d  a1927-032100aUsing Social Media to Accelerate the Internationalization of Startups from Inception0 aUsing Social Media to Accelerate the Internationalization of Sta  aOttawabTalent First Networkc10/2012  a22-260 v23 aA set of principles, processes, and tools that entrepreneurs can use to rapidly internationalize their technology startups from inception does not exist.

The article was inspired by how the founders of Dewak S.A. rapidly internationalized their technology startup. Dewak was founded by five unemployed Colombians in June 2008. Two years later, foreign sales comprised 95% of the firm’s revenue and provided the founders with full-time employment. Dewak’s only channel to market was via online social media networks. 

Recognizing that entrepreneurs can use social media to amplify their tacit knowledge and convert it into sellable products and services contributes to the development of a learning-based view of rapid internationalization from inception.

In Brazil, the goal is different. According to Rog?rio Santanna, Secretary of Logistics and IT at the Brazilian Ministry of Planning, Budget and Management, "open source is a strategic choice of the Brazilian Federal Government since 2003 because it reduces costs, increases the competition, creates jobs and develops the knowledge and intelligence of our country. Our preference for open source is not motivated only by economic aspects. But there is also the possibility to develop new products, distribute the knowledge, access to new technologies and to stimulate the development of software in collaborative environments". 

This article shows how the Brazilian Government is using OSS, gives some examples of successful Brazilian projects that use OSS, explains some difficulties for implementing OSS, and makes a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of using OSS.1 aPaiva, Edgy  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/25001483nas a2200121   4500008004100000022001400041245006700055210006700122260004200189520107800231100001601309856003601325       2009                        eng d  a1913-610200aUsing JavaScript Toolkits to Create Rich Internet Applications0 aUsing JavaScript Toolkits to Create Rich Internet Applications  aOttawabTalent First Networkc04/20093 aSince 2004, the number of Rich Internet Applications has increased, making them a key component of the Web 2.0 phenomenon. Many RIAs have been developed using JavaScript and AJAX. AJAX is used to access remote data sources, that reside on the server or are available through an open API, directly from within the application. The rich variety of applications would not be available today without the concurrent appearance of many, powerful JavaScript toolkits that have taken the development of these applications from labour-intensive to nearly painless. These toolkits provide an open source alternative to the proprietary products developed by Adobe (Flash/Flex/Air) and Microsoft (Silverlight).

This article provides two examples that demonstrate the evolution of RIAs, then compares the features of the most commonly used JavaScript Toolkits used to create RIAs. We then discuss how freely available toolkits are able to compete against proprietary alternatives. Finally, we provide some concluding remarks based on our experience with creating enterprise RIAs.
