The pur- pose of the February, March, and April issues of the TIM Review is to examine various aspects of technology entrepreneurship, contribute to theory, and provide im- portant insights into the various issues facing managers today. The topics covered by the contributors are inter- disciplinary, fill gaps in existing research, and advance our understanding of the issues relevant to the domain of technology entrepreneurship. Hopefully, these art- icles will encourage others to contribute to this import- ant field. In May, we will examine the theme of Global Business Creation with Marko Sepp?, founder of Global Faculty Partners for Problems Worth Solving LP, and Stoyan Tanev, Associate Professor at the University of South- ern Denmark.

As always, we welcome your feedback, suggestions for future themes, and contributions of articles. We hope you enjoy this issue of the TIM Review and will share your co
