IJTE publication available now and organizations that support innovation in BC

This is just s short announcement that the IJTE article I co-authored with Elicia Maine is now available via Inderscience:


  • Bliemel, M.J., Maine, E.M.A. (2008) Network embeddedness as a predictor of performance for New Technology-Based Firms, International Journal of Technoentrepreneurship, 1(3), pp. 313 - 341

Also, here's a fun course projected I worked on with Ben, Josh and co during their MBA at SFU. It's a reapplication of Puttick's Complexity Grid to organizations in Vancouver and BC that promote innovation (link):
