It is my pleasure to welcome Tony Bailetti, Director of Carleton Universitys Technology Innovation Management pro- gram (TIM; carleton.ca/tim), as guest editor for this issue. Welcome to the October 2012 issue of the TIM Review titled Born Global. Happy first birthday TIM Review! We thank the journal’s readers and international network of authors, guest edit- ors, reviewers, advisors and sponsors for their many contributions. Special thanks go to Chris McPhee, the journal’s Editor-in-Chief, who has tirelessly led hun- dreds of us to improve the journal. With this issue, the TIM Review celebrates its first birth- day! In October 2011, this journal was re-launched as the Technology Innovation Management Review. The TIM Review replaced the Open Source Business Re- source, which was launched in July 2007. The TIM Review is the result of a conscious decision to build a journal that provides free and unlimited online access to high-quality articles about technology and global entrepreneurship. The online articles published in the TIM Review are the “common assets” that enable individuals and organizations to collaborate, continu- ously innovate, and explore new topics for the purpose of benefitting entrepreneurs worldwide. In celebrating this milestone, I wish to thank our read- ers, authors, guest editors, reviewers, advisors, and sponsors for their contributions to our success so far. Last month, we surpassed the threshold of 5,000 unique visitors per month, which brings us halfway to our tar- get of 10,000 (timreview.ca/article/569). We welcome your suggestions for building
