Queen’s University Research Centres and Institutes Annual Report
SUMMARY
1. Mandate and Objectives (250 words maximum)
Provide a brief description of the mandate and objectives of the Research Centre or Institute.
The Monieson Centre strives to bridge research and practice to benefit academic, business, government, and community audiences. By drawing together leading researchers, the Centre helps organizations and communities discover how to harness and enhance their knowledge capital. Research teams conduct studies for client organizations, focusing on complex issues related to organizations and the knowledge economy. The Centre then translates these research findings into practice‐based recommendations. The research upholds the standards of academic rigour while providing results that are pertinent to practitioners. The Centre's staff broker and coordinate these research projects, share new knowledge with others through academic and practitioner channels, and assist both the public and private sectors in effectively transforming knowledge into value. Working directly with partner organizations, executives and academics locally and internationally, the research teams delve deeply into issues of critical importance to management today. The Centre's expertise is available to businesses, institutions and communities in Ontario and around the world. Benefits for client organizations include:
• Access to top researchers • Productive research partnerships • Applied research leading to deep insights • Root cause analysis for effective problem solving
Benefits for researchers include:
• Opportunities to work with other leading international researchers • A flexible and comprehensive collaborative research model • Data to support publications in peer‐reviewed journals • Administrative and research assistance • Increased productivity
2. Highlights and indicators of impact (300 words maximum; lists of publications, conference
presentations, major awards etc. may be appended in addition to the summary of highlights) Explain how these activities have contributed towards achieving the objectives of the Research Centre or Institute.
The Monieson Centre continued its research focus with two new SSHRC grants – one supporting the translation of rural economic development research findings into French and a second supporting a thought‐provoking creative economy conference. In addition, the Centre co‐ordinated eleven research projects on issues including entrepreneurs and business growth, for‐profit services by non‐profit organizations, social media, and innovative public private partnership (P3) investment models for sustainable “green” housing.

The Centre increased its outreach to the Queen’s, Kingston and Eastern Ontario communities in 2010, hosting three conferences, two lectures and two seminar series. A Knowledge Impact in Society Showcase in April focused on Eastern Ontario’s pressing economic development issues, allowing for interaction among more than 150 leading academics, students and business and community leaders. In June, the Centre coordinated the Doctoral Consortium at the 2010 Organization Learning, Knowledge and Capabilities Conference at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. The consortium involved five distinguished academics and 19 doctoral students from around the world. November’s SSHRC‐funded Fostering Entrepreneurship in the Creative Economy Conference attracted 80 academics, students, government policymakers, and business and community leaders. Building on a successful five‐seminar winter 2010 Creative Economy series involving 367 participants in person and by videoconference, the Centre attracted 100 academics and industry leaders to a three‐seminar fall Monieson Ideas series. Each fall seminar featured a mixed academic‐business‐community panel on topics ranging from rural broadband and energy alternatives to green entrepreneurship. Finally, the Centre co‐ordinated the QSB‐PELA Business Plan Competition that saw three teams each win a $150,000 interest‐free loan to start a business in either Prince Edward County or Lennox & Addington County. A highlight of the competition saw 300 people pack the Goodes Hall Atrium to hear the Dragon’s Lecture, delivered by Robert Herjavec, star of CBC’s Dragons’ Den and CEO & Founder of The Herjavec Group.
3. Comment on key challenges and/or successful strategies employed in the reporting year towards achieving the goals and objectives set out at the start of the year (250 words maximum) For challenges encountered by the Research Centre or Institute, please describe the plans being made to overcome these.
At the start of the 2010 reporting year, The Monieson Centre set out to combine two goals, facilitating and disseminating high quality research, and bringing together academic, business, community and government leaders to increase the economic and social vitality of the region. The Centre partnered with businesses and communities on twelve research projects aimed at addressing challenges including provincial differences in small business organization, establishing social enterprises, examining innovation in the financial services industry, and exploring profitability models for biomass as a renewable energy source. The projects addressed regional and national business development priorities, and involved Queen’s School of Business researchers and those from other Queen’s University departments including Film Studies, Mechanical Engineering, Geography, and the School of Urban and Regional Planning. Research projects also included scholars from other leading Canadian and international institutions. These projects were facilitated by the Centre’s network of regional, provincial, federal and business partners, which now numbers approximately 40, and will increase with the awarding of three major research grants starting in 2011. To disseminate knowledge to academics and practitioners, the 2010 conference included ten thought‐provoking academic papers on the emerging creative economy in Canada. The Creative Economy seminar series and the Monieson Ideas series brought together academics and community leaders with diverse backgrounds to examine innovative ways to spur Canada’s economic growth. Centre Director, Dr. Yolande Chan, and Assistant Director, Jeff Dixon, spoke at several conferences to share knowledge

gained through Monieson Centre initiatives. More details on Centre activities are provided in a supplement.
4. Specific goals and objectives for the next reporting year (200 words maximum).
The Monieson Centre will launch three major research projects in 2011. Research from a three‐year, $238,000 SSHRC Partnership Development Grant will create knowledge to enhance rural economies. A two‐year, $200,000 Rural Secretariat project will evaluate academic contributions to rural communities, including those made by our recent SSHRC‐funded Knowledge Impact in Society project. A 2011 Ontario Ministry of Government Services project will provide opportunities to develop a methodology to evaluate the expansion of broadband in Eastern Ontario. Project‐related research findings will be published in academic journals, books and conferences. The Centre will also maintain its website, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter presence. The Centre will continue to bring academics and practitioners together to explore business transformation in the knowledge‐based economy through its Monieson Ideas seminars and a three‐day conference entitled, “The Creative Rural Economy – From Theory to Practice”. The Centre’s focus on the knowledge economy will continue with a three‐day workshop for Queen’s University graduate students on “The Study of Business and Knowledge”. The Centre will continue to enhance its international presence through ongoing collaborations with our 2010‐11 Fulbright Scholar and Research Fellows who are dispersed around the world, and specific, new business research initiatives with leading academics in the United Kingdom.

Introduction Like Goodes Hall, where we are located, The Monieson Centre is experiencing the excitement of
expansion and growth. In 2010, the Centre engaged with a large number of faculty, students, and people
in our community. Our projects offered a wide
variety of research-based tools to help the
economic and social revitalization of
communities in Eastern Ontario and beyond.
Our seminar series attracted business and
community leaders, and government
policymakers to hear how academic research
has made a difference at the local level, and
how university-fuelled innovation is occurring.
We have travelled east and west in Canada to
discuss our research findings and successes. We
contributed to academic planning at Queen’s
University with a thoughtful response to
Principal Woolf’s paper, “Where Next?” The
Centre’s Director served on the Academic
Writing Team that delivered a thought-
provoking report, "Imagining the Future:
Towards an Academic Plan for Queen's
University". The report included five sections
outlining important goals and recommendations
for the University.
2011 looks just as bright. The Monieson Centre will develop a methodology to evaluate the impact of
broadband services in Eastern Ontario. The Centre has received funding from the Rural Secretariat to
evaluate, over a two-year period, the benefits provided to rural Canadian communities by academic
research. Finally, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) has approved
funding for a three-year project that will link researchers and community partners across Canada to
investigate novel ways to enhance the economic and social well-being of rural areas.
Like Goodes Hall, the Monieson Centre’s footprint is growing.

Research – Transforming Business in the Knowledge Economy
Introduction The Monieson Centre facilitates research on the knowledge economy, which relies on creativity and
intellectual skills rather than physical and/or repetitive tasks. Simply put, the emphasis is on brain versus
brawn. Research in this area strives to harness the expertise of individuals, organizations, and
communities to create economic and social value. The Monieson Centre's broad knowledge economy
mandate allows researchers to investigate a wide range of questions using a variety of theoretical and
methodological approaches. Monieson Centre research falls under five distinct but interrelated research
themes:
Knowledge Workers
Knowledge Work
Knowledge Organizations
Knowledge Sectors
Knowledge Valuation
For more information about research at The Monieson Centre, see our web site at
http://business.queensu.ca/centres/monieson/research/index.php.
2010 Projects The Monieson Centre led a number of studies in 2010 related to these research themes.
Economic Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO) Research to revitalize rural economies The Monieson Centre and the Economic Developers Council of Ontario, through funding from the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, are partnering on a project aimed at economic
revitalization in rural Ontario. The research comprises five separate projects that address workforce
attraction and development, entrepreneur development/business innovation, regional strategies for
international competitiveness, and innovation and creativity. The projects are grouped in two themes.
The first examines knowledge gaps related to securing investment in rural Canada and mentoring
entrepreneurs to reduce business failure rates. The second explores infrastructure, cultural integrity and
the sustainability of local businesses and communities. The researchers involved in this research project
are Y. Chan, C. Chen, T. Dacin, K. Packalen, V. Thiele (QSB), L. Dyer (Concordia University) and A. Blay-
Palmer (Wilfrid Laurier University).
Empire Life Insurance Company Innovation and social computing In 2010, the Centre partnered with Empire Life to examine innovation in the financial services industry.
Specifically, we are exploring how insurance firms are changing the ways in which they provide products
and services to their customers and employees. The study examines how firms promote cultures of
innovation. Our research team is focusing on innovation through social computing/Web 2.0. We are
determining ways in which social computing (e.g., blogs, wikis, podcasts and social networking tools) can
enhance the interactions of financial services companies with their customers, employees and partners.

Researchers on this project include Y. Chan, J. McKeen, S. Staples (QSB), S. Matrix (QU), A. Rohm, F.
Sultan (Northeastern University), S. Erickson (Fulbright Scholar/Ithaca College), K. Komaromi (Ithaca
College) and Z. Sayeed (Monieson Centre Visiting Scholar).
North Hastings Living and Wellness Centre Innovative investment models for sustainable “green” housing By working collaboratively with local resources, agencies, and all levels of government, the North
Hastings Supported Housing Committee planned to develop an accessible, supported housing and multi-
use complex that would showcase and promote sustainable “green” design and construction
technologies. Residential units would include a mix of rental units, as well as life lease and condo
options. In 2010, the Monieson Centre research team investigated possible models or systems relevant
to the North Hastings Supported Housing Committee project in terms of project investment and building
ownership. This included exploration of funding and ownership models including private investment,
public funding, private/public partnerships (PPPs), and local not-for-profit opportunities. Researchers on
this project included Y. Chan (QSB), J. Andrew (QU) and L. Benecki (Research Associate).
Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) Community engagement processes and decision making effectiveness The Monieson Centre conducted research on community engagement processes and decision making
frameworks in the Ontario healthcare system. Using surveys and observation, the Centre evaluated the
nature and effectiveness of community engagement processes as they relate to resource allocation
decision making at Northumberland Hills Hospital. The research examined the knowledge sharing and
advice giving processes of a Citizens’ Advisory Panel. The Centre critiqued various decision making
models and produced a summary case study. Researchers involved on this project included Y. Chan, B.
Gallupe, S. Mufti (QSB) and R. Sabherwal (Fulbright Scholar/University of Missouri, St. Louis).
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) through the University of Guelph Identifying rural research priorities through community engagement (RRP) This one-year project, started in 2009, connected academic researchers with rural community leaders in
Southwestern Ontario to identify and prioritize local research needs. The partnership between The
Monieson Centre, Queen’s University; School of Environmental Design and Rural Development,
University of Guelph; and The Ontario Rural Council (TORC; now called the Rural Ontario Institute)
assisted local leaders in understanding their region’s development priorities, identifying knowledge gaps
for researchers, and guiding funding priorities for government agencies. Researchers who worked on
this project included Y. Chan (QSB), and W. Caldwell, J. Ball (University of Guelph).
Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MoHLTC) Changing the culture of customer service for patients, families and health caregivers: A learning process. Since 2008,The Monieson Centre has collaborated with health care professionals at Queen’s University
and Providence Care in Kingston, ON on a project that studied innovations in care delivery that engage
patients and families as essential members of health care teams. The Monieson Centre provided
expertise regarding study design, learning cultures and the development of knowledge dissemination
4
strategies. Researchers on this project included Y. Chan (QSB), M. Paterson (QU) and R. Brander
(Providence Care).
Prince Edward County Community Care for Seniors Examining the provision of for-profit services by non-profit organizations In 2010, Prince Edward County Community Care (Community Care) explored marketing services on a for-
profit basis to seniors within the community, in such a way as not to conflict with current volunteer
services. The Monieson Centre partnered with Community Care to study social enterprise and
innovation. Researchers on this project included Y. Chan, C. Law (QSB), W. Knutsen (QSB/Policy Studies),
and R. Lysaght, T. Krupa (QU).
Prince Edward/Lennox & Addington Community Futures Development Corporation (PELA CFDC) Knowledge-based regional economic development In 2007, The Monieson Centre signed a multi-year memorandum of understanding with PELA CFDC to
facilitate research on knowledge-based regional economic development. The PELA CFDC project team is
multidisciplinary with faculty and graduate students from Business, Economics, Geography, Health
Sciences, Policy Studies, Urban and Regional Planning, and other Queen’s Departments. Specific topics
include: Human Capital Challenges (e.g., labour force education and skills, and the recruitment and
retention of knowledge workers), Rural Innovation (e.g., the creative economy, entrepreneurship, and
social enterprise), and Systems for Rural Development (e.g., governance, urban/rural interaction and
knowledge spillovers, and information and communications technology infrastructures). Some
researchers on this project include Y. Chan, J. Raver (QSB), B. Donald, R. Wilson (QU), G. Hunter
(University of Lethbridge) and A. Blay-Palmer (Wilfrid Laurier University).
Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation (RCCFDC) Renewable energy (biomass) opportunities In 2010, The Monieson Centre and Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation
(RCCFDC) are examining profitability models for biomass as a renewable energy source. The project is
analyzing input costs for a biomass-energy supply system, including biomass input value, harvesting
costs, transportation costs, plant construction costs, and ongoing operating costs. The study is further
investigating profitability scenarios for a range of processing contexts, and testing models against
existing energy policy and legislative restrictions. Researchers on this project include Y. Chan, Steven Moore (QSB), V. Durant (St. Lawrence College), W. Mabee (QU), and Susan Moore (Moore
Partners).
Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada (RSA) Entrepreneurs, insurance and business growth In 2010, The Monieson Centre and Royal & Sun Alliance began working together to study the links
between entrepreneurs, insurance, and business growth. RSA is one of Canada’s leading property and
casualty insurance companies in terms of direct written premiums. The firm sells home, car and business
insurance through more than 800 brokers nationwide. This research project looks at the key factors that
influence small business start-ups and how those factors affect the sustainability of new businesses. It
also investigates whether and how individual business owners and firms vary from province to province
across Canada. A third inquiry explores the relationships between business insurance and the growth of
5
the firm. As part of this research, the Monieson Centre team is conducting confidential surveys of small
business owners. Researchers on this project include Y. Chan, K. Packalen, V. Thiele (QSB), L. Dyer
(Concordia University), S. Erickson (Fulbright Scholar/Ithaca College), G. Hunter (University of
Lethbridge), and Z. Sayeed (Monieson Centre Visiting Scholar).
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada - Knowledge Impact in Society Revitalizing rural economies by mobilizing academic knowledge The Knowledge Impact in Society (KIS) project is a three-year, knowledge mobilization initiative led by
The Monieson Centre in partnership with the Prince Edward Lennox and Addington Community Futures
Development Corporation (CFDC), the Eastern Ontario CFDC Network, Inc., and over 30 community
partners. The goal of the KIS project is to increase the economic vitality of rural Eastern Ontario by
providing local practitioners with targeted, practical research products. The KIS project was funded by
the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) in 2008. Many researchers
from Queen’s University and other institutions are collaborating on this project. Researchers on this
project are listed at www.easternontarioknowledge.ca.
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada – Public Outreach Grant French translation of “Revitalizing rural economies by mobilizing academic knowledge” findings In 2010, The Monieson Centre received a public outreach grant to create French translations of
important academic rural economic development materials now available only in English. These
documents, which inform rural economic development practice and policy in Eastern Ontario, were
produced as part of the 2008-2011 SSHRC KIS project entitled “Revitalizing Rural Economies by
Mobilizing Academic Knowledge”. They bring critical academic knowledge in easy-to-use formats,
delivered through partner channels, to rural residents and economic development professionals. The
researcher on this project is Y. Chan (QSB).
2011 Projects The success of The Monieson Centre has been recognized by SSHRC, the Province of Ontario and the
Rural Secretariat, who are funding major research projects in 2011.
Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) Development of an evaluation methodology for assessing the social and economic impacts of provincial broadband investments In 2011, The Monieson Centre will be partnering with the Ontario Ministries of Agriculture, Food and
Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), Economic Development and Trade (MEDT) and Northern Development, Mines
and Forestry (MNDMF) to develop an evaluation methodology to track the social and economic benefits
of provincial investments in broadband services. Qualitative and quantitative methods will be used to
assess the impacts of broadband deployment in rural Eastern Ontario. Program evaluation and ongoing
research will enable the fine-tuning of the implementation of the broadband network by identifying
barriers and challenges as well as opportunities. It will ensure that broadband technology nurtures a
robust, diversified economy through new linkages and entrepreneurship opportunities. Researchers
involved in the project will be Y. Chan, O. Ivus , E. Murray (QSB), H. Hassanein, C. Wasteneys (QU), C.
Middleton (Ryerson University), P. Burpee and B. Wilson (Communities of Eastern Ontario Network),
and L. Benecki and K. Wood (Research Associates).

Rural Secretariat, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada The impact of academic knowledge mobilization on rural economic development The Monieson Centre will be partnering with the Rural Secretariat to assess the impact of academic
knowledge mobilization on key gaps and barriers to rural Southern Ontario’s economic development
and growth. As universities increase their efforts to mobilize academic knowledge so that it can be used
by practitioners, measuring and improving the efficacy of these initiatives becomes even more
important. The growing body of research on knowledge mobilization indicates that qualitative, as well
as more traditional quantitative, assessment of research impact is crucial to enhancing the practical
value of academic research. By assessing the outcomes of two Monieson Centre initiatives – the
Knowledge Impact in Society (KIS) project in Eastern Ontario and Identifying Rural Research Priorities
through Community Engagement (RRP) in Southwestern Ontario – this new participatory evaluation will
build knowledge of effective means and strategies for bridging academic research with community
economic development practice. The researcher in this project will be Y Chan (QSB).
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada – Partnership Development Grant Research partnerships to revitalize rural economies (confirmed, but not yet announced) In 2011, The Monieson Centre will lead a partnership development program that will leverage the
strength of existing partnerships as well as develop new collaborations to support new academic
research to create knowledge that rural Canadian communities can use to enhance their social and
economic prosperity. The program will allow individual researchers and partners to form new
collaborations to conduct research of importance to rural Canadian communities. The research should
improve the environment, infrastructure, and opportunities for business in rural areas to increase
productivity and community prosperity. The Centre will be partnering with about 40 academic, business,
government and community organizations. Researchers involved in this project will be Y. Chan, J.
Andrew, C. Chen, T. Dacin, J. de Bettignies, O. Ivus, K. Packalen, J. Raver, V. Thiele (QSB), B. Donald, L.
Viswanathan (QU), A. Blay-Palmer (Wilfrid Laurier University), H. Hambly Odame, L. Pant (University of
Guelph), G. Hunter (University of Lethbridge) and K. Stolarick (University of Toronto).
Other Collaborations The expertise of The Monieson Centre is also recognized by a number of researchers at other academic
institutions. The Centre has also been asked to collaborate on eight projects.
Federal Economic Development Agency of Southern Ontario - Graduate Enterprise Internship Fund (under review) Queen’s Professional Internship Program Principal Investigator: Dr. Jennifer Massey, Queen’s University Career Services Collaborator: Dr. Yolande Chan, The Monieson Centre This proposal will provide an exceptional internship program to graduate students and recent graduates
of programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The proposed Queen’s Professional
Internship Program will provide 275 eligible interns with structured mentoring opportunities that will
equip them with applied business and management skills, provide a significant boost to regional
economic development in Eastern Ontario, and provide local and regional industry with the technical
expertise needed for innovation.
7
Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario - Prosperity Initiative (in development) PELA Prosperity Initiative Lead Applicant: PELA CFDC Partner: The Monieson Centre This proposed initiative will build the competitive advantage of Eastern Ontario’s economy by deepening
connections between Queen’s School of Business and the region’s small and medium sized enterprises
(SMEs) and economic development organizations. Individual initiatives are designed to enhance 1)
knowledge transfer, enabling business owners and economic developers to put academic research to
use in developing businesses and local economies, 2) community-university collaboration, allowing local
knowledge and priorities to shape and enhance new research initiatives, and 3) job creation, as
knowledge transfer and collaborative research initiatives increase SME competitiveness across the
region.
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada - Aid to Research Workshops and Conferences in Canada (approved) Rural Research: From Research to Policy and Back Again Principal Investigator: Lars Hallstrom Organizing Committee Member: Dr. Yolande Chan, The Monieson Centre This event is intended to foster networking among rural researchers and to provide a forum for rural
research and policy discourse. Working as a complement to the Annual General Meeting of the
Canadian Rural Development Network (it will take place on May 5, 2011 - the day after the AGM in
order to attract members of that network), it will bring together researchers from academic institutions,
government agencies and non-governmental organizations who are interested in rural issues as well as
individuals working in public administration, policy analysis and public policy in order to examine the
role, opportunities, and state of research speaking to public policy in rural Canada. Specifically, by
bringing together approximately 140 researchers and policy-makers, this workshop will: (a) provide a
forum for the sharing of recent research initiatives and findings relating to rural development in Canada;
(b) communicate the emerging agendas for research; (c) provide comparative information from research
in a variety of other international contexts; (d) identify gaps and collaborative opportunities in Canada's
rural research; and (e) critically explore the connection between research and rural development policy
in this country and in comparable contexts.
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada - Insight Development Grant (under review) Canada's Top 40 Rural Policy Research Questions Principal Investigator: Dr. Lars Hallstrom, University of Alberta Collaborator: Dr. Yolande Chan, The Monieson Centre The objective of this project is to adapt the conservation science method and approach (which has
proven successful at both the national and international levels) to compile a list of forty questions, that,
if answered, would have the greatest impact on the policies shaping rural development, sustainability
and resilience in Canada. To achieve this objective, input will be gathered from a wide cross-section of
individuals and representatives from academic, policy and non-governmental organizations working
with, and for, rural communities in Canada. Research questions will be solicited via a bilingual website
8
through rural development organizations, research communities, networks and associations, as well as
through governmental departments, ministries and offices at both provincial and national levels.
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada - Partnership Grant Letter of Intent (under review) Canadian Rural and Northern Research Network (CRNRN) Principal Investigator: Dr. Bill Reimer, Concordia University Collaborator: Dr. Yolande Chan, The Monieson Centre Rural and northern areas of Canada are facing major economic, demographic, social, and environmental
challenges. While research on these topics is widespread across the country, a formal infrastructure to
support the connection of this knowledge is lacking. The Canadian Rural and Northern Research
Partnership (CRNRP) will fill this gap by establishing a national partnership of 78 organizations,
researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and citizens with a common interest in the prosperity of rural
and northern Canada. The CRNRP will be organized as a widely distributed network, linking
organizations and participants from a wide variety of social science disciplines and policy areas. Building
on their various strengths it will increase prosperity by 1) identifying critical challenges and
opportunities for rural and northern regions; 2) enhancing collaboration among researchers, policy-
makers, practitioners and citizens; 3) facilitating discussions of research priorities; 4) supporting new
researchers and innovations that build rural and northern capacities; 5) identifying and supporting
excluded groups to ensure they become part of research, policy and action initiatives; and 6)
establishing a long-term plan for sustainable financing of the CRNRP. As a result, it is simultaneously
concerned with connecting rural and northern stakeholders and with building insights through these
connections.
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada - Partnership Grant Letter of Intent (under review) delivering Architectural Construction: Culture, Originality, Rural Development (dACCORD) Principal Investigator: Dr. Ted Cavanaugh, Dalhousie University Collaborator: Dr. Yolande Chan, The Monieson Centre The proposal draws strength from observations during previous grant-supported projects. An affinity
has been noticed between rural people and building construction. They are bricoleurs, natural
innovators adapting available materials and techniques. Innovative construction intrigues them. Novel
"low-tech" solutions are quickly and accurately assessed particularly in coastal locations where response
to the climate is critical. On the one hand, it is an ideal testing ground; on the other, it has significant
potential for employment and rural development. As part of this proposal, an evaluation of what ways
introducing novel techniques of building construction can effect improvement of the rural creative
economy will be made. This proposal partners two types of research supported by SSHRC: scholarship
and research/creation. Scholarship benefits rural communities using research/creation activities. This
proposal develops prototypes of technological innovation. It sustains and extends academic
collaboration across disciplines. It continues partnerships between universities and community-based
organizations. In addition, it works to the tangible benefit of rural Atlantic Canada. As part of this
proposal, we will investigate ways that scholars from the humanities and social sciences can participate
in projects in order to improve the potential for innovation.

Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada - Public Outreach Grant Canadian Environmental Issues - Dissemination Grant (approved) Building Regional Food Hubs in Ontario: Fostering linked up thinking and practice through sustainable food systems Principal Investigator: Dr. Alison Blay-Palmer, Wilfrid Laurier University Collaborator: Dr. Yolande Chan, The Monieson Centre This project seeks to create more resilient and connected communities of thought and practice centred
on piloting Regional Food Hubs (RFHs) that foster resilient, regenerative local ecologies through just,
equitable, healthy food communities. A Regional Food Hub is a regional network comprising university,
government and community stakeholders who work closely towards mobilizing food and rural research
knowledge to contribute to sustainable and resilient food communities. RFH projects can include
improved food production and infrastructure, and fostering equitable access to healthy food.
University of Guelph/OMAFRA Knowledge Translation and Transfer Grant (approved) Developing regional food hubs: Applying knowledge to increase local food purchasing through local food linkages and value chains Principal investigators: Dr. Karen Landman, University of Guelph and Dr. Alison Blay-Palmer, Wilfrid Laurier University Collaborator: Dr. Yolande Chan, The Monieson Centre While food hubs provide the potential for critical links in local food value chains (Baker et al. 2010), little
is known about the specifics of emerging and existing food hubs in Ontario and elsewhere and the ‘push-
pull’ between consumers and research on local food community resilience. This project will identify
characteristics of food hubs including the roles they play within local food chains and provide detailed
information about their development and operation. In addition, a toolkit will be developed so that
interested groups can scope out the potential for food hubs in their communities.
Monieson Centre Research Awards In addition to leading and collaborating on research projects, The Monieson Centre rewards excellence
through Monieson Research Awards for Queen’s School of Business faculty and students.

QSB-PELA Business Plan Competition In 2010, The Monieson Centre, Queen’s School of Business and the Prince Edward/Lennox and
Addington Community Futures Development Corporation (PELA CFDC) launched a business plan
competition that rewarded several budding entrepreneurs with nearly half a million dollars in business
loans.
Teams submitted their ideas for starting a business in either Prince Edward County or Lennox and
Addington. The top three teams each received $150,000 interest-free loans to implement their plan.
The competition was open to all faculty, staff and students from across Queen’s. Each team had to
include one Queen’s student, because the competition was intended to provide job creation
opportunities for youth.
Another main objective of the
competition was to boost the
economies of the two partner
counties. The business loans were
made possible because of a
successful application to the
Community Adjustment Fund,
which was established as part of
Canada’s economic stimulus plan.
In March 2011, the top six teams
went before a panel of
entrepreneurs, faculty, and
community representatives to
present their business plans.
All three winners presented business ideas that tap into Prince Edward and Lennox & Addington
Counties’ growing reputation as rural hubs for creativity and innovation. The winning business ideas
were:
Cibo Systems, led by MBA graduates Ricky Chandarana, Simon Hamilton and Chris Sinkinson,
which will develop a restaurant management system utilizing tablet computers like Apple’s iPad
and Samsung’s Galaxy.
Foodscrooge.com, founded by AMBA graduate Tim Ray, which will bring the on-line group-
buying phenomenon to the grocery industry.
Envirolytics, based on the research of Mechanical and Materials Engineering student Patrick
Leslie, which will develop a smartphone app which will provide custom solutions for improving
home energy efficiency.

Distinguished Fulbright Lecture “The Strategy of Knowledge: Development vs. Protection” Dr. Scott Erickson September 13, 2010 Abstract: Implicit in much of the discussion concerning knowledge management (KM) is an assumption that more knowledge assets and more knowledge sharing is always for the best. But a strong case can be made that the development of knowledge should be more strategic.
Initially, the circumstances under which knowledge is employed vary. KM programs are not equally effective in all circumstances. Secondly, there exists the threat of knowledge leakage, particularly given the growth in competitive intelligence efforts over the past two decades. Thus, the potential benefit from developing knowledge can vary, as can its vulnerability to competitive incursion and loss of proprietary knowledge to others.
This presentation will focus on a Strategic Protection Factor framework we have created to identify, categorize, and evaluate a firm’s situation, helping managers to make strategic decisions concerning the level of knowledge development and knowledge protection necessary to effectively compete. Further, the presentation will identify prospective variables behind the framework, obtained from the literature and from existing data, helping to define a firm’s place in the framework. These variables can be grouped on the national, industry, and firm levels. Finally, the presentation will address avenues for further research to better define the framework and provide a workable tool for the strategic management of knowledge.

Appendix 8 Creative Economy Series

“The creative economy: Fact and fiction”.
Dr. Betsy Donald – Queen's University
January 26, 2010
Abstract: The Creative Economy is one of the most hotly contested economic development terms in academia
today. Despite its widespread use in public policy, the term attracts attention from both naysayers and
proponents alike. What exactly is the creative economy? How is it different from the knowledge-
intensive, innovative or entrepreneurial economy? What have been some of the methodological,
theoretical and public policy critiques? Why has it been separated out from a class (i.e., service, working
and creative) and geographic (i.e., urban and rural) perspective?
The purpose of this talk is to introduce the concept but also provide a rigorous analysis of its use in both
theoretical and practical terms. To provide context, the talk will also draw upon a five-year empirical
study of the Canadian food economy to illustrate and debate the concept in economic development
terms. The seminar will lay the foundation for the Monieson Centre winter series on the Creative
Economy, assessing its contribution to key conversations about the economic future and sustainability
of Canada.
"The rural creative economy: Issues and challenges"
Dr. Kevin Stolarick, Research Director, The Martin Prosperity Institute, Joseph L.
Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto
February 16, 2010
Abstract The idea of a “Creative Economy” and related research have primarily been focused on urban or at least
suburban areas. Richard Florida’s original research and much of the subsequent work of other
researchers have only looked at metropolitan regions. The idea of a attracting the creative class has
come to be synonymous with an urban lifestyle and amenities. However, researchers from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (McGranahan and Wojan) and others have found that the creative class plays
an equally important role in the economic development and success of rural and non-urban regions, and
that these locations can offer a different collection of amenities that can be equally attractive to a
subset of the Creative Class. The Creative Class is not monolithic. Variation in individual and family
preferences results in variability in the ability to attract the creative, highly-skilled individuals needed for
regional prosperity. In this talk, examples from Europe, the United States, and northern Canada will be
used to discuss the development of appropriate regional strategies.

“The creative economy in Ontario: A Prince Edward County case example”.
Dan Taylor – Prince Edward County Economic Development, Dr. Greg Spencer – Munk
Centre
March 23, 2010
Dan Taylor Abstract: The Creative Economy is primarily seen as an urban phenomenon. However, its principles – talent,
tolerance, technology and now territory – involving quality of place, public space, community amenities,
culture, etc. are hardly unique to cities. Prince Edward County has branded itself as Canada’s First
Creative Rural Economy. In this seminar, the county’s Rural Renaissance will be described. The practical
application of creative economy theories in a real and rural place will be discussed.
Rural does not exclude urban. This presentation will touch on regional and rural-urban
interdependencies, and the importance of trading relationships in developing a creative rural economy.
It will outline Prince Edward County’s journey of creative economy discovery and realization via case
studies about real people, real businesses and real economic development. The focus will be on real-life
examples of how a community is capitalizing on, and excelling at developing, its creative rural economy
and how benefits are rippling throughout the broader economy. As dramatic socio-economic change
unfolds in what was once a somewhat forgotten static community in decline, the “Good, Bad and Ugly”
will be described.
Dr. Greg Spencer Abstract: Creative advantage and rural areas: strategies for overcoming
sparse networks. This research begins with an examination of the social dynamics of the creative process which highlights
the importance of dense and diverse connections that provide a wide range of knowledge and
opportunities. The main implication of this is that large cities tend to possess a ‘creative advantage’ over
places that present fewer local learning opportunities. To this end this research contends that there is a
larger role for the public sector in rural areas in the creative economy, particularly in terms of building
and maintaining local networks and connections with places further afield. The case of Prince Edward
County provides an instructive case of effective local policy making.

and how resulting business owners can comply with the resulting regulations. The seminar will also
examine how businesses leaders make their way through various policy and compliance issues.
Appendix 10 Knowledge Exchange Seminars
70
“Intellectual Capital”
Dr. Scott Erickson, Fulbright Scholar
Wednesday, September 22, 2010
Intellectual Capital Abstract: Intellectual capital (IC) is a close cousin of knowledge management (KM), essentially addressing the
same issues but from a different perspective. If KM is about growing and sharing knowledge assets, IC is
about identifying and measuring those same assets.
IC grew mainly out of industry, with a measure of input from both accountants and strategists. This
presentation will cover the basics of the field, including the categorization of knowledge assets (human
capital, structural capital, relational capital). It will also focus on some of the more well-known tools for
measuring IC, such as Skandia Navigator and Pulic’s VAIC. It will also cover some of the spinoffs of the
basic concept, including the intellectual capital of nations.
Competitive Intelligence Abstract: Competitive intelligence (CI) is the practice of obtaining, analyzing, and acting upon information or
knowledge related to specific competitors. In practice, CI is typically a well-organized activity involving
public sources, human intelligence, and active collection. Once collected, the information and
knowledge is analyzed and made actionable.
For the knowledge management (KM) community, there are some obvious parallels between CI and KM.
This presentation will cover the similarities and the differences, including how the fields can inform each
other for better practice.
“Rural Economic Futures – How Rural Areas Can Punch Above their Economic Weight –
A UK Perspective”
Rob Hindle, Rural Innovation
March 21, 2011
Abstract: The UK is going through a significant transition as it seeks to re-balance and diversify its economy.
Businesses across the UK need to become more innovative in order to boost productivity. Research
conducted for England’s Department for the Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs suggests that whilst
there are opportunities to increase the performance of rural firms and local economies through
innovation, there are barriers to innovation associated with the spatial context in which firms operate.
These are partly structural – relating to limited access to Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) and
innovation networks, poor broadband speed and lack of agglomeration - and partly human – owner’s
objectives, poor graduate retention, access to skills and a limited labour pool.
This seminar will use the findings from this research, work into rural economic futures for One North
East (a regional development agency), experience from local community and economic development
work in the UK, and insight from Dave Ivan’s “Can Small Towns be Cool?” project to consider how rural
areas should position and organise themselves to address barriers to innovation and so optimise their
economic futures.
+WHERE NEXT? Toward a University Academic Plan
QUESTIONS TO GUIDE UNIT/PROGRAM AND FACULTY LEVEL SUBMISSIONS Current economic and budgetary conditions and challenges are unlikely to change in the near or distant future. At the same time, the Premier has set the ambitious goal that 70% of the population will graduate with a post‐secondary qualification; and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) projects that between 2008‐09 and 2015‐16, university applications in Ontario will rise by 42,000 – 58,000. Our ability to respond to this increased demand while retaining our commitment to quality requires that we look closely at what we do, how we do it and how well we do. We must be clear‐minded and strategic. We cannot do everything, so we must choose our areas of focus. While being mindful of the tremendous diversity, which characterizes this institution, across Faculties and even within units, we must forge a coherent common vision for the future.
The following questions are provided to guide the Academic Planning Exercise. A comparable template, suitably adapted, will be provided to administrative units for input into broader university planning.
The submission deadline for unit documents will be determined by Deans. The Deans’ submission deadline to the Vice-Principal (Academic) is April 15, 2010.
PLEASE NOTE: This MS Word document is being provided to assist in the compilation and drafting of unit answers to the academic planning questions. Save this document to your computer as you would any text file and send to colleagues for comment, etc. Finalized unit documents are to be submitted to Deans following deadlines and processes developed by each Dean.
Appendix 11: The Monieson Centre’s Response to “Where Next?”
71
1 How will your unit or programs contribute to Queen’s mission of research, scholarship, teaching and service to the community, province, nation and broader world? What steps will you take, through the delivery of high quality programs, to attain these goals?1,2
The Monieson Centre is well-aligned with the University’s mission. Housed within Queen’s School of Business (QSB), The Monieson Centre is a locus for excellence in research on knowledge-based enterprises and the knowledge economy, employing a collaborative, multi-disciplinary research model to bridge the gap between organizational theory and practice. Current Monieson Centre research is largely regionally based, but has a national and global reach.
The Monieson Centre connects teaching and research by connecting industry and government partners with faculty and students. Students examine real-life situations and test the theories they learn in the classroom; faculty gather valuable data, identify new research questions, and obtain up-to-date class content as they collaborate with community partners.
Speak specifically to:
a Program structures (areas or fields for emphasis; de-emphasis or discontinuation)
• The Monieson Centre’s core strength is managing knowledge for collaborative innovations. Since knowledge knows no geographical boundary, this focus allows the Centre’s regional research to influence policy and practice across Canada and internationally.
• The Centre emphasizes inquiry through scholarly contributions in the knowledge management field. This includes support for faculty and graduate students who seek to publish articles in top-tier journals. Further, monthly Knowledge Exchange Seminars are led by academic and business experts drawn from Queen’s, as well as a national and international pool. These seminars attract faculty, students and staff from across Queen’s as well as policymakers and business leaders from the community.
• The Centre emphasizes collaboration among academic researchers, community partners, business leaders, and policy makers to advance knowledge-based community economic development. Notably, research in rural Eastern Ontario has been expanded across Southwestern Ontario and presented nationally and internationally. The Centre has established collaborations with knowledge management and community development researchers around the world, e.g., in the U.S. and the U.K.
• To reach a wide audience, The Monieson Centre uses innovative technology, including video conferencing and social media. The Centre maintains two frequently visited websites: www.business.queensu.ca/knowledge and www.easternontarioknowledge.ca.
b Interdisciplinarity.
The Centre’s collaborative approach engages scholars across disciplines and institutions to foster innovation and excellence. Recent and developing projects include Queen’s scholars from the Schools of Business, Policy Studies, Nursing, Rehabilitation Therapy, and Urban and Regional Planning; the Departments of Economics and Geography; and the Office of Student Affairs; as well as external researchers from the Universities of Cambridge, Guelph, Lethbridge, London, Missouri, and Wilfrid Laurier.
c Curriculum reform and inclusivity
Although not a teaching centre, The Monieson Centre does provide learning opportunities for undergraduates at Queen’s School of Business and across Queen’s. Recent Monieson Centre projects have involved upper year undergraduate students who created community profiles and case studies, and carried out student consulting, as part of the Geog 337, Comm 401 and Comm 404 courses. In addition, the Centre has provided field projects to MBA students for their course work.

e Course format (length, weight, delivery mechanisms, location, etc.) N/A
f Innovative teaching and learning techniques (i.e. e-learning, field study, exchange, capstone experiences, co-curricular activities, etc.).
The Monieson Centre recognizes the value of departmental and interdepartmental collaboration to provide innovative learning experiences for students at and beyond Queen’s School of Business. Centre research projects currently provide real world training and learning opportunities for students as they study the business environment in Ontario. Community partnerships have enabled fully funded internship opportunities. In addition, the Centre is working with Students Affairs to provide service learning placements in Ontario as part of a proposal for community-based research that is under review by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
Graduate and undergraduate students play various roles in the Centre’s projects. Some complete research related to their theses. Others serve as RAs and acquire data gathering, analysis and writing skills. Several co-author papers with faculty.
g TA support and adjunct teaching N/A
h Infrastructure (physical) – N/A
2 What are your areas of demonstrated excellence in research and graduate teaching?
Identify no more than three.
• Managing knowledge for collaborative innovations • Canadian economic policy and business practice innovations • Evidence-based community economic and business development
a What metrics do you use to establish “excellence”?3
• Research projects are assessed by the number of high quality articles in progress or published, and the number of highly regarded faculty, students, and clients engaged.
• External research funding is assessed by the calibre of the funding agencies involved, number of proposals submitted, success of applications, and amount of research funding received.
• The reputation and awareness of the Centre are assessed by the number of high quality publications, nature of researcher and practitioner testimonials, attendance at Monieson Centre conferences and events, and traffic - including visits and downloads – on our websites.
b Are there parallel areas of strength in other units in your Faculty or elsewhere at Queen’s that might merit this being a University area of emphasis?
1. Managing Knowledge for Collaborative Innovations: The Centre’s experience in knowledge management and mobilization has made it a focal point for departments across Queen’s seeking expertise in this area. Several Queen’s centres and research teams are collaborating with industry and seeking to apply (and, when appropriate, commercialize) research outputs.
Appendix 11: The Monieson Centre’s Response to “Where Next?”
73
2. Canadian Economic Policy and Business Practice Innovations: A number of Queen’s departments, centres and research teams are focused on solutions to important economic, policy and business challenges.
3. Evidence-based Community Economic and Business Development: The Centre’s expertise in knowledge-based community economic development facilitates interdisciplinary collaborations and multi-stakeholder partnerships. Faculty and students in departments across Queen’s participate in related community-based research and events. The Centre currently has strong ties with over 40 regional, provincial, federal, and industry partners.
3 Outline the current and future relationship between research and teaching in your unit and programs.
Speak specifically to:
a Undergraduate participation in research (current and future)
Long-term community partnerships offer undergraduate students practical field work and internship opportunities related to course work. In addition, undergraduate RAs play key roles in Monieson Centre research projects.
b Graduate student role in the relationship between research and teaching (current and future)
Although not a teaching centre, the Centre affords significant learning opportunities for graduate students. They receive high quality training from Queen’s School of Business and other visiting faculty while performing duties as research assistants in Monieson Centre projects. Graduate students have produced knowledge syntheses through the Centre’s SSHRC-funded Knowledge Impact in Society project, completing literature reviews and then translating the academic literature so that it may be accessible to a wide audience. Graduate students are responsible for website discussion areas and blogs.
Through a twice-annual competition, the Centre provides funding to graduate students studying the knowledge economy and knowledge-based enterprises. This funding assists them in completing their thesis and summer research requirements.
c Role of postdoctoral fellows and research associates if applicable
Occasionally the Centre hosts postdoctoral fellows and research associates.
4 What international activities is your unit engaged in (please feel free to use material generated for the November 2009 query from the Principal to Deans) and what additional activities would it wish to engage in, given resources?
The Monieson Centre maintains an active international presence including:
• A recently completed SSHRC International Opportunities Fund project • Hosting a visiting US scholar through the Canada – US Fulbright program • Participation of a number of international scholars as research fellows, participants in
research projects, and members of the Centre’s Advisory Board • International research presentations such as an OEDC workshop in London, UK, and • The Centre director’s service in international committees and events.
5 What factors distinguish your unit from similar ones in other universities?
The Monieson Centre is the only centre at Queen’s that specifically concentrates on managing knowledge. It reports to the Dean of Queen’s School of Business (QSB) and, via QSB, to Queen’s Senate, allowing the Centre to serve the entire Queen’s community, bringing a business perspective to each project it undertakes. The Centre aims to bridge the gap between academic theory and practice, benefiting academics, business leaders, policy makers, and government officials.
Appendix 11: The Monieson Centre’s Response to “Where Next?”

6 The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) is interested in multilateral partnerships between universities and between colleges and universities as mechanisms to improve student access to and mobility in the post-secondary sector (i.e. university transfer credits, college credit transfer toward baccalaureate degrees, college offerings of baccalaureate degrees)4. Are there opportunities within the evolution of your academic programs to consider these types of partnerships?
In keeping with the MTCU goals of establishing multilateral partnerships, at times the Centre collaborates with community colleges on community economic development projects.
7 Some funds will be centrally allocated beginning in the 2011/12 budget year for new initiatives and established or emerging areas of excellence. State how you would allocate any net new resources awarded to your unit.
The Monieson Centre would use new resources to expand its ability to serve Queen’s, the local community, and academic and non-academic audiences beyond eastern Ontario. The Centre would provide more research funding opportunities to Queen’s faculty and graduate students. The Centre would increase its interaction with graduate and undergraduate students, assisting with providing additional thesis research opportunities, and research assistant positions. The Centre would provide greater visibility to Queen’s in Canadian communities and internationally, specifically reaching audiences that would benefit from its expertise in managing knowledge for collaborative innovations, and creating novel solutions to pressing economic and business challenges.
8 Provide a brief response on behalf of your unit to the general content of Where Next?, paying particular attention to areas in which you see the potential for your unit to move forward using existing resources.
The Monieson Centre is well suited to assist Queen’s in its vision “to be the mid-sized Canadian university that best combines a strong undergraduate education – inside and outside the classroom – with the benefits of a research intensive environment.” The Centre has a proven record in advancing knowledge for collaborative innovations, especially with regard to economic and business challenges. It regularly brings together interdisciplinary research teams of scholars and students from Queen’s School of Business, other Queen’s departments, and other universities. Using existing resources, the Centre can grow these partnerships and expand the reach and range of its activities. Evidence-based community development is much needed to assist Canada in addressing critical economic and business challenges. As a research centre, we are well positioned to be a leader in this regard.
