Abstract
On November 29, 2002, the Canadian Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship/Conseil canadien des PME et de l'entrepreneuriat (CCSBE/CCPME), acquired ownership of the Journal of Small Business and Entrepreneurship. We would like to welcome you to this the first issue of the journal published since this change. The CCSBE/CCPME was formed in 1979 as the first affiliate of the International Council for Small Business. Its members include academics, educators, representatives of small business support organizations, researchers, government officials, students of entrepreneurship, and policy makers. The council's goals are to promote and advance the development of small business and entrepreneurship through research, education and training, networking and dissemination of scholarly & policy-oriented information. The Journal of Small Business and Entrepreneurship will enhance the CCSBE/CCPME's ability to pursue these goals, nationally and internationally. The Journal of Small Business and Entrepreneurship was established in 1983 and has been published continuously since. The founding editor was Raymond W.K. Kao. In recent years, the journal has been published by the Centre of Entrepreneurship (Centennial College) under the editorship of Mitch Lenko. While based in Canada, the journal has an international reach with more than half its subscribers and over 50 percent of its articles from outside the country. One of the first tasks undertaken by CCSBE/CCPME's following its assumption of ownership of the journal has been a restructuring in three areas: (i) editorship, (ii) the editorial review board, and (iii) publishing. Rather than appointing a single editor the CCSBE/CCPME appointed an editorial team consisting of a managing editor and five associate editors. The associate editors are Denis J. Garand, Faculte des sciences de l'administration, Universite Laval; Teresa Menzies, Faculty of Business, Brock University; Eric Morse, Richard Ivey School of Business, University of Western Ontario; Peter Robinson, Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary; and Christopher Ross, John Molson School of Business, Concordia University. The managing editor is Robert Anderson of the Faculty of Administration of the University of Regina. The editorial team decided to replace the Paper Referee Committee and the International Advisory Board, in place prior to CCSBE/CCPME's assumption of ownership, with a single body--the Editorial Review Board. Members of the review board are respected scholars from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania. An excellent group has been assembled (see page ii) and the work continues. The members of the board will be formally introduced to readers in Volume 17(1). The CCSBE/CCPME has entered into an agreement with the Faculty of Administration of the University of Regina to publish the journal for the next three years (2003-05). This is the first issue published under the joint auspices of the CCSBE/CCPME and the Faculty of Administration. Volume 17 Issue 1 will be published in October 2003. Volume 17, Issues 2, 3 and 4 will be published in February, June and October 2004. Thereafter, four issues will be published each year in January, April, July, and October. Articles will be published in French or English. The Journal of Small Business and Entrepreneurship is interested in research that pushes the boundaries of current entrepreneurial thought--theoretical pieces, qualitative and quantitative empirical work, and/or case studies. We are interested in work from all geographic regions. The contents of this issue are a good example of what we expect to bring to readers. We have two papers by Canadian authors, one in French; one paper by authors from the United States; and one paper from South Africa. The American paper and the Canadian one written in French both explore ethnic entrepreneurship, between the two touching on the experience of Arab, Hispanic, Chinese, Italian and Sikhs entrepreneurs in North America. …

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
