Potential theft of trade secrets is a key feature of these challenges, which arises often in the context of disputes related to employee mobility. Despite the risks these challenges pose, SMEs often confront significant resource barriers in protecting themselves from trade secret theft. The passage of a recent criminal law by the Canadian federal government, section 391 of the Criminal Code, creates a powerful new tool for innovative SMEs to report, investigate, and prosecute theft of trade secrets. It also comes with specific considerations and risks that innovative SMEs should examine and contemplate. This article explores strategies for SMEs in Canada to use section 391 to protect their trade secrets, navigate the legal environment during theft of a trade secret, and remediate such theft. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 10 %P 40-46 %8 11/2020 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1402 %N 11 %1 McGill University Matt Malone Malone is a Canadian-trained lawyer with an interest in law and technology.

Managing uncertainty about future demand requirements and volumes in supply-chain networks has become a priority. One of the ways to deal with uncertainty is the utilization of simulation techniques and tools, which provide greater predictability of decision-making outcomes. For example, simulation has been widely applied in decision-making processes related to global logistics and production networks at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels, where it is used to predict the impact of decisions before their implementation in complex and uncertain environments. Large enterprises are inclined to use simulation tools whereas small and medium-sized enterprises seem to underestimate its advantages. The objective of this article is to emphasize the relevance of simulation for the design and management of supply-chain networks from the perspective of small and medium-sized firms. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 2 %P 13-20 %8 11/2012 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/625 %N 11 %1 University of Southern Denmark Giacomo Liotta is Assistant Professor in the Institute of Technology and Innovation at the University of Southern Denmark.
