Dear Readers,

The April 2011 issue of the OSBR is now available at osbr.ca. The editorial
theme for this issue is Collectives and the Guest Editor is Professor Tony
Bailetti from Carleton University. In this issue, we have the following
articles:

James Makienko and Antonio Misaka from Carleton University provide an
update on the Keystone Off-The-Shelf (KOTS) platform, which is designed to
support collectives that enable small innovative companies to grow their
revenue.

Tony Bailetti and Ludovico Prattico from Carleton University describe the
first application of the KOTS platform, which is the Carleton Entrepreneurs
program. This program helps graduate and senior undergraduate students
transform their ideas into compelling opportunities and successful
businesses.

Michael Ayukawa, Founder of CornerPortal, answers the question: “What is
a good deal?” by reviewing the literature on deals and deal-making
processes relating to business collectives. His answer to this question was
used to define the business rules embodied in a component of the KOTS
platform.

David Péloquin, Jean Kunz, and Nicola Gaye from the Policy Research
Initiative provide an approach to risk management that can be generalized to
any situation where social actors respond to and manage risks in a
multi-player environment. This “social management of risk” approach
focuses on the involvement of potential actors in pursuing societal
objectives in relation to risk.

Michael Weiss from Carleton University discusses a model for company-led
open source projects around two dimensions: the level of control over the
project and the diversity of applications derived from the project. The
article reflects a recent trend towards collectives of companies that
develop shared assets in the form of open source projects.

The editorial theme for the upcoming May issue is Women Entrepreneurs and
the deadline for submissions is April 15th. For subsequent issues, we
welcome general submissions on the topic of open source business or the
growth of early-stage technology companies. Please contact me
(chris.mcphee at osbr.ca) if you are interested in submitting an article.

Kind regards,
