%0 Journal Article %J Technology Innovation Management Review %D 2021 %T The Acceptance of Digital Surveillance in an Age of Big Data %A Mika Westerlund %A Diane A. Isabelle %A Seppo Leminen %K Acceptance %K Biometric %K Citizen Privacy %K digital identity %K Digital surveillance %K Intelligence activities %K Mass surveillance %K personal data %K privacy %X News media companies and human rights organizations have been increasingly warning about the rise of the surveillance state that builds on distrust and mass surveillance of its citizens. The COVID-19 pandemic is fostering digitalization and state-corporate collaboration, leading to the introduction of contact tracing apps and other digital surveillance technologies that bring about societal benefits, but also increase privacy invasion. This study examines citizens' concerns about their digital identity, the nation-state's intelligence activities, and the security of biodata, addressing their impacts on the trust in and acceptance of governmental use of personal data. Our analysis of survey data from 1,486 Canadians suggest that those concerns have negative impacts on citizens' acceptance of governmental use of personal data, but not necessarily on their trust in the nation-state being respectful of privacy. Government and corporations, it is concluded, should be more transparent about the collection and uses of data, and citizens should be more active in "watching the watchers" in the age of Big Data. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 11 %P 32-44 %8 03/2021 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1427 %N 3 %1 Carleton University Mika Westerlund, DSc (Econ), is an Associate Professor at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.

Based on extensive coverage of studies published over a period of 12 years between 2008 and 2020, we reviewed extant research on this phenomenon from both, more developed and emerging countries. Using PRISMA methodology inclusion and exclusion criteria, we selected 93 articles for the review. The motivation to undertake this research was to understand emerging consumer behavior that intends to collaborate for consumption with the help of technological innovation. We identified major theoretical frameworks developed for investigating SEs and collaborative consumption behavior. The findings of the paper reveal possible antecedents, decisions, and outcomes of SEs. Many areas in the SE domain remain underexplored, despite recent significant advancements, and for this the paper provides directions for future research. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 11 %P 59-71 %8 12/2021 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1474 %N 11-12 %1 SIBM, Symbiosis International (Deemed University) Ms. Shweta Shirolkar is a part time Research Scholar at Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM) Symbiosis International (Deemed University) (SIU), Lavale, Pune, Maharashtra, India.

The flexible model consists of five key phases: 1) new idea screening, 2) idea nurturing, 3) conversion of ideas into "good enough" solutions, 4) solution productization, and 5) solution revamping. These phases are iterative by nature and follow partial stage model logic, hence combining elements of both the waterfall and agile methods. For technology and manufacturing companies, the new model presents a new way to consider ideas related to new product, service, process, and business model development. It is framed in contrast with older models that are typically product oriented, which potentially restrict companies in the ability to strategically renew themselves fast enough in turbulent product-service markets. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 10 %P 16-24 %8 03/2020 %G eng %N 3 %1 University of Vaasa Dr. Tuomas Huikkola is an Assistant Professor in the School of Management at the University of Vaasa.

The main motivation behind R&D offshoring by global technology companies is usually to utilize local resources, knowledge, and competencies provided by geographically dispersed subsidiaries in the most effective manner, which in most cases involves high expectations for project performance. However, offshore units often have their own local interests, such as developing their activities to compete with the company's other global R&D units, by not only building their project performance, but also demonstrating learning and innovativeness. This causes a learning paradox in which the R&D unit is expected to possess capabilities for innovation and learning, while at the same time demonstrating a high product development performance. This paper presents a qualitative case study that analyzes how R&D managers in the offshore units of a global technology company can cope with conflicting tensions between learning and performance. The results present a variety of coping practices that are based on developing local innovation strategies, constant learning, and supporting local innovation culture. The results also underline the meaning of agile working models in facilitating local innovation activities. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 10 %P 70-78 %8 03/2020 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1338 %N 3 %1 Danfoss Corporation Janne Kuivalainen is head of Product Management and Development with the Drives business segment (€1,420m sales in 2018) in Danfoss Corporation.

The findings of a multi-step exploratory study indicate that SME have an established mindset (dominant logic) that often hinders these firms from turning data in innovative products, services, and business models. The availability of large amounts of data and the use of this data through data science-driven practices has reached a stage when it now enables new and promising possibilities for firms to innovate. However, the actual use of data and data science insights has proven to be difficult for many companies. The firms under consideration in this paper recognize that the availability of data fundamentally changes their businesses. But also, they lack the appropriate culture, mindset, and business repertoire that would enable them to act by turning data into innovation. The paper concludes that firms first need to establish a new mindset in which data plays a central role. Here I term this mindset "data-dominant logic" (DDL). Future research is required to further concretize the construct beyond this introduction. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 10 %P 16-28 %8 10/2020 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1393 %N 10 %1 Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences Petra Kugler is a Professor of Strategy and Management at OST ― Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland.

As such ecosystems transform, the basis for being seen as legitimate also changes for all actors. Thus, alliances between actors within financial ecosystems are increasingly formed to help gain, maintain, and repair organizational legitimacy. From interviews with fintech startups in Sweden and with venture capitalist firms investing in fintech startups in Sweden, we explore the intertwined quests for organizational legitimacy in a transforming financial ecosystem. As Swedish fintech startups seek to establish a sense of their legitimacy, simultaneously incumbents seek to maintain and repair their organizational legitimacy. Adopting a legitimacy-based view of strategic alliances, we set out the aspects of organizational legitimacy that incumbents and fintech startups look for in a potential partner and how these aspects meet the legitimacy needs of each partner. We argue that alliances further enhance the organizational legitimacy of both fintech startups and incumbents. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 9 %P 20-32 %8 01/2019 %G eng %U https://timreview.ca/article/1209 %N 1 %1 Chalmers University of Technology Christopher Svensson is a Business Developer and fintech enthusiast working at Minna Technologies, a fintech startup in Sweden.

In the case accelerator, 20 startups developed innovative products atop the European FIWARE Future Internet technology platform. The novel design element of the case accelerator was the use of the living lab approach that was included for the purpose of engaging end users in the development and testing of new product prototypes. Our main result is that the living lab approach provided added value to participating companies and resulted in changes in their product development and marketing strategies. Overall, the case accelerator and the use of the living lab approach had a significant impact on the development, growth, and market success of the companies. Based on the results of the case accelerator, we propose the generic accelerator model presented by Pauwels and co-authors in 2016 to be extended with a new design element, the living lab approach. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 9 %P 6-19 %8 03/2019 %G eng %U https://timreview.ca/article/1221 %N 3 %1 University of Oulu Lotta Haukipuro is a Coordinator of the project “Generation Z and Beyond: Co-Evolution of Human Capabilities and Intelligent Technologies in the 21st Century (GenZ)” in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Oulu, Finland.

An Empirical Study of Innovative and Exporting French SMEs %A Manon Enjolras %A Mauricio Camargo %A Christophe Schmitt %K export %K innovation %K multiple-case study %K SMEs %K technological intensity %X The main objective of this research work is to question the relationship between the technological intensity of SMEs (defined by the share of R&D expenditure in turnover, according to the OECD) and their growth potential (defined by their innovation and export capabilities). Through a multiple case study conducted with a panel of nine French SMEs, and through an analysis combining a qualitative approach (illustrative cases study) and a quantitative one (multidimensional statistical methods), several hypotheses were tested. Finally, this study points out that technological intensity, as defined by the OECD, is not directly correlated with the growth potential of SMEs. On the other hand, a company’s technological intensity would have an impact on the way it manages its innovation and internationalization process, and thus the way it manages its internal practices. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 9 %P 33-48 %8 01/2019 %G eng %U https://timreview.ca/article/1210 %N 1 %1 Université de Lorraine Manon Enjolras is a Researcher in Industrial System Engineering at the Université de Lorraine in Nancy, France, where she is working on the innovation and internationalization capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Policy makers world-wide nowadays aim to foster environments conducive for AI-based innovation. This paper addresses the current lack of empirical data for evidence-based innovation policies and the management of AI-based innovation. It focuses on “AI and innovation management” in addressing the question whether innovation that is based on new AI technology requires a management approach different from other forms of IT innovation. We present results from a study of Austrian companies on the degree of use and implementation of AI, and on challenges related to AI-based innovation management. This study used a keyword-list approach to define “Artificial Intelligence” and to find AI-based innovation projects in research databases. These projects facilitated the identification of experts from organisations developing AI-based innovation. In total, eleven experts were interviewed about their AI-based innovation activities. The results show that AI is a very fast emerging technology that is being applied in many sectors. A broad range of innovative solutions are being developed and some have already reached the market. Specific AI business models are, however, less clear and still developing. Companies are facing multiple challenges from regulation to human resources and data collection. Managing AI-based innovation will be particularly difficult for smaller enterprises, where problems are often more pronounced than in larger industries. Explicit challenges for managing AI-based innovations include the necessary attention to managing expectations and ensuring historic metadata expertise essential for many AI-based solutions. Policies to support AI-based innovation therefore should focus on human aspects. This includes increasing the availability of AI experts, but also concerns the development of new job profiles, such as experts in AI training. AI innovators also require clear AI regulation and research investments in key challenges, such as explainable AI. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 9 %P 5-15 %8 12/2019 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1287 %N 12 %1 eutema gmbH Dr. Erich Prem is chief RTI strategy advisor and CEO of eutema GmbH.

New products and services are demanded – so-called frugal innovations. Since the challenges for the development of frugal innovations are often quite similar – for example, low income of the target customer, poor infrastructure, etc. – the hypothesis appears that the solutions will also be similar. In our earlier TIM Review article (Lehner & Gausemeier, 2016), we showed how solution patterns for frugal innovations can be derived. The article at hand summarizes those findings and supplements an innovation process for frugal innovation using the solution patterns. The validation based on the example of telemedical assistant systems shows the benefit of the pattern-based development of frugal innovations. The article addresses managers and engineers who plan to introduce frugal innovations, as well as university-based researchers interested in the development of frugal innovations. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 8 %P 14-27 %8 04/2018 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1149 %N 4 %1 Hella GmbH & Co.

The introduction of open access journals, in the opinion of many researchers, is considered to be a case of disruptive innovation that is revolutionizing the industry. This article analyzes the traditional journal publishing system, the recent open access models of journal publishing as an evolving phenomenon, the nature and extent of open access as a disruptive innovation, and the implications for key stakeholders. The major finding is that open access publishing has gained traction because technology has contributed to lower publication costs, easier access to research articles, and speedier publishing processes. However, the threat posed by open access has not significantly impacted traditional publishers because of strategies employed by the major publishers and slow adoption of open access by some researchers. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 7 %P 47-56 %8 11/2017 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1120 %N 11 %1 University of the West Indies Haven Allahar is an Adjunct Lecturer in Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the Graduate School of Business of the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago.

In this article, we explore how the lean startup paradigm, which validates the market for a product with a business model that can sustain subsequent scaling, has led to a new process model to accelerate innovation. We then apply this paradigm to the context of research at universities and other research organizations. The article is based on the assumption that the organizational context matters, and it shows how a deeper understanding of the research context could enable an acceleration of the innovation process. We complement theoretical examples with a case example from VTT Technical Research Institute of Finland. Our findings show that many of the concepts from early-acceleration phases – and the lean startup paradigm – can also be relevant in innovation discussions within the research context. However, the phase of value-proposition discovery is less adequately addressed, and that of growth discovery, with its emphasis on building on a scalable, sustainable business does not seem to be addressed with the presented innovation approaches from the research context. Hence, the entrepreneurial activities at the research context differ from those in startups and internal startups in established organizations. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 7 %P 32-43 %8 05/2017 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1075 %N 5 %1 VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Kaisa Still is a Senior Scientist at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.

Companies and policy makers have a great need to investigate what potential opportunities will arise from the platform economy. A shared perception of uncertainties and a strong vision are prerequisites for the development of the platform economy. In this article, we describe a systematic way to develop a resilient vision for a new platform ecosystem, both from the viewpoint of national policy makers and corporate strategy makers in the heavy engineering industry. The process uses morphological analysis for scenario development and robust portfolio modelling for creating resilient strategies. The results include a list of key uncertainties, three general scenarios (sustainable development by Europe; polarization driven by China and the United States; US-driven fast, unreliable growth) as well as steel-industry specific scenarios based on these uncertainties, elements of a resilient vision, and strategies for coping with the uncertainties described by the scenarios. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 7 %P 6-16 %8 09/2017 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1102 %N 9 %1 VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Mikko Dufva is a Research Scientist at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland working in the field of foresight.

These applications are digital asset registries, blockchains as leapfrog technology for global financial inclusion, long-tail personalized economic services, and net settlement payment channels. I also highlight key challenges that offset the potential economic benefits of blockchain distributed ledgers, while arguing that the benefits would outweigh the potential risks. The overarching theme is that an increasing amount of everyday operations involving money, assets, and documents could start to be conducted via blockchain-based distributed network ledgers with cryptographic security, and at more granular levels of detail. One economic implication of widespread blockchain adoption is that the institutional structure of society could shift to one that is computationally-based and thus has a diminished need for human-operated brick-and-mortar institutions. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 7 %P 6-13 %8 10/2017 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1102 %N 10 %1 Purdue University Melanie Swan is a technology theorist in the Philosophy Department at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, United States.

The essence of this change is to persuade customers to perform actions in favour of the service provider. Such actions include responding to advertising clips to unlock value. The business model was generated from the concept of audience commodification and is based on the idea of looking at users as a source of a tradeable asset in business-to-business markets. Here, attention and actions are the assets that users pay to access the proposed value. The research includes two phases of surveys and experimentation. In the first phase, the tendency and acceptance level of users towards watching advertisements to unlock value are measured. In the next phase, a platform prototype is developed to test and understand user actions towards receiving value. The sample includes 52 users of different nationalities who were seeking relationships on an online dating platform. Results revealed that users accept advertising and will perform requested actions if they can perceive the delivered value. Practical implications of this research include insights to help move away from the current “view-based” advertising model toward new models of partnership with users in the value-creation process. This research may also stimulate further research into developing sustainable business models based on advertising revenue. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 6 %P 40-47 %8 08/2016 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1010 %N 8 %1 Aalborg University Datis Khajeheian is a lecturer in the Center for Communication, Media and Information Technologies in Aalborg University of Denmark.

These failures are, in part, due to a lack of continual and balanced innovation that firms should aim to achieve. That is, although firms may succeed at either refining existing competencies for incremental innovations or exploring new opportunities for radical innovations, many firms have experienced great difficulty in simultaneously pursuing and realizing success in both areas. This innovation imbalance arises when firms stick to traditional strategic notions of competition in fast-moving industries; these firms have not realized that the ability to compete in current and new markets begins with the strategies and priorities that are responsible for the very nature of innovation capabilities. The purpose of this study is to offer a reconceptualization of notions related to organizational strategy that are responsible for driving innovation capabilities. Specifically, this study develops a continual innovation framework that illustrates the impact ambidextrous strategies and priorities have on the firm’s ambidextrous innovation capability. It offers a modified concept of ambidexterity (i.e., exploration, exploitation, coordination) to reconceptualize business, marketing, and information systems strategies as ambidextrous strategy constructs. The article also discusses the relationships between constructs and the implications of this reconceptualization for researchers and managers. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 4 %P 44-51 %8 07/2014 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/812 %N 7 %1 University of Toledo Nehemiah Scott is a PhD student in the Manufacturing & Technology Management program in the College of Business and Innovation at the University of Toledo, USA.

User involvement is critical for co-creating value, but equally important is collaboration between other living lab actors: enablers, providers, and utilizers. Enabler-driven labs can be successful in creating common goals but they need providers, such as development organizations, to boost development.

The space for innovation in care is wide open and new disruptive patterns are emerging. These include self-management and personal budgets, participatory and integrated care, supported decision making and a renewed focus on prevention. Taking these disruptive patterns to scale can be accelerated by a technologically enabled shift to a network model of care to co-create the best outcomes for individuals, family caregivers, and health and social care organizations. The connections, relationships, and activities within an individual’s personal network lay the foundation for care that health and social care systems/policy must simultaneously support and draw on for positive outcomes. Practical tools, adequate information, and tangible resources are required to coordinate and sustain care. Tyze Personal Networks is a social venture that uses technology to engage and inform the individual, their personal networks, and their care providers to co-create the best outcomes. In this article, we demonstrate how Tyze contributes to a shift to a network model of care by strengthening our networks and enhancing partnerships between care providers, individuals, and family and friends. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 2 %P 26-30 %8 07/2012 %U http://timreview.ca/article/578 %N 7 %1 Tyze Personal Networks Vickie Cammack is President and CEO of Tyze Personal Networks.

Currently, technology entrepreneurs make many expensive mistakes. They invest in assets and develop capabilities that prove to have limited value. They take too long to discover and validate the product-market fit for their firms during the investment stage and run out of time and money. Understanding how theory can help entrepreneurs make decisions during the investment stage is important to accelerate new-firm formation and growth as well as to reduce the uncertainty of founders and stakeholders of technology firms. This article introduces a model developed to examine deal making during the investment stage of a new technology firm. It is an extension of a model of lateral firm scope proposed by Oliver Hart and Bengt Holmstrom. The extensions come from considering a technology firm as being both a deal-making entity and a pool of resources during the investment stage. A deal is the result of a decision the entrepreneur and others make to coordinate (i.e., work together to achieve a common objective). Benefits from a deal include cash profits for the firm and private benefits for the entrepreneur. This extended model is then applied to examine the author’s firm which is still in the investment stage. Application of the extended model to a real-life situation generated two important insights: i) when private benefits include learning from experimentation, the number of deals increases and ii) at the start of the investment stage, private benefits drive deal-making, whereas at the end of the investment stage, cash profits derived from asset ownership drive deal-making. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 2 %P 23-27 %8 05/2012 %U http://timreview.ca/article/556 %N 5 %1 Cornerportal Michael Ayukawa is the co-founder of Cornerportal Inc., a company that is committed to bring economic opportunity to more individuals in more communities worldwide.

Large companies have pursued acquisitions to more quickly access technology, markets, and customers, and this approach has always been a viable exit strategy for startups. However, not all deals deliver the anticipated benefits, in large part due to poor integration of the acquired assets into the acquiring company. Integration can greatly impact the success of the acquisition and, indeed, the combined company’s overall market success. In this article, I explore the implementation of several integration models that have been put into place by a large company and extract principles that may assist negotiating parties with maximizing success. This perspective may also be of interest to smaller companies as they explore exit options while trying to ensure continued market success after acquisition. I assert that business success with acquisitions is dependent on an appropriate integration model, but that asset integration is not formulaic. Any integration effort must consider the specific market context and personnel involved. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 1 %P 26-31 %8 10/2011 %U http://timreview.ca/article/490 %N 1 %1 Peter Carbone is a successful executive known for his thought leadership, business acumen, and technology leadership.

No company wishes to deal with a keystone that is not trustworthy or purchase a solution from a supplier that it does not trust. To grow a community, the keystone and the suppliers that are its marketplace members must be trusted. Providing users of a marketplace with tools to measure trust in suppliers' solutions may reduce transaction costs and increase the number of deals closed. The objective of this paper is to examine how to measure trust in suppliers' solutions offered in a marketplace. The discussion on how to measure trust in a keystone is deferred to a later paper. This paper is organized into six parts. The first part defines trust and the second examines the concept of trust transitivity, which is the use of indirect trust in a trust network. The third part describes how trust can be measured. The fourth provides an overview of the author's research, which examined how the numbers of observations about a solution-supplier's ability, integrity, and benevolence affect a customer's uncertainty and belief in the solution offered in the Eclipse Marketplace. The fifth part discusses the implications of this research for keystone operators.

The authors explore the potential to engender a quantum shift in the sector's efficiency, reach, and impact through the combined use of open source technologies, social process tools and collaboration platforms. The objective is to contribute to a new generation of intelligent social systems, enabling an evolutionary recalibration of relationships among ourselves, our social and economic institutions, and the planet. As a means of integrating and disseminating the most promising approaches, the concept of Applied Collaboration Studios is proposed. Its primary activities would be: i) dissemination of open source technologies; ii) ongoing instruction and coaching in the use of social process tools; iii) the assembly and launch of multiple collaboration platforms; and iv) collaboration with other like initiatives to create ecologies of scale that inform and precipitate systems change toward greater resilience.

In 1992, then Apple CEO John Sculley was promising this "pocket-sized digital communicating devices" market would be "the mother of all markets", while Intel CEO Andrew Grove called it "a pipe dream driven by greed." Since then the mobile phone business has exploded, and personal digital assistants like the Palm Pilot have burst onto the scene. The launch of the RIM Blackberry brought a real email interface to the PDA world. The World Wide Web itself continues to grow enormously, with Netcraft's December 2008 survey receiving responses from 186,727,854 websites. We are just now arriving at a convergence in the market that is 16 years in the making. Handset and PDA manufacturers, mobile network operators, chip manufacturers, and computer platform hardware and software vendors all collide with the economics of the Web, collaborative development, and open source software. Indeed, we are seeing a point in history in which the mobile handset manufacturers and their partners are using open source software and collaborative development to ensure they do not get trapped in the narrow margin price war that caught the personal computer original equipment manufacturers in the previous technology wave. %B Open Source Business Resource %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %8 01/2009 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/221 %N January 2009 %9 Articles %1 Stephen R.
