Years later, now the owner of a successful software services firm and an adjunct Professor at the Telfer School of Management, University of Ottawa, Dr. Bowen has drawn on those early experiences and authored a book to help entrepreneurs.
In 2009, the book “The Entrepreneurial Effect”, a collection of articles by prominent Ottawa area technology entrepreneurs, including James Bowen, was published. It included a foreword contributed by Terry Matthews and the list of contributors reads like a who’s who of the industry.
On November 8, 2011, the Waterloo tech community will be launching Volume II of this book, featuring a distinguished list of Waterloo entrepreneurs and investors offering their advice.
The Waterloo version's foreword is written by Dr. Feridun Hamdullahpur, President, University of Waterloo and contains insights by: John Baker, James Bowen, Larry Borsato, Dave Caputo, Stephen Carkner, Yvan Couture, Ray dePaul, Rick Endrula, Jim Estill, Harley Finkelstein, Rod Foster, Vita Gaisma, Josie Graham, Brydon Gilliss, Ted Hasting, Cameron Hay, Kevin Hood, Tom Hunter, Iain Klugman, Dan Latendre, Carol Leaman, Aurelien Leftick, Moren Levesque.
