Release date: 2004-12-24 - Articles and reports: 88F0006X2004022Description:
This working paper examines whether the innovative characteristics of small manufacturing firms that show high growth are significantly different from those of other types of small manufacturing firms. Two groups of small firms are analysed: those with 20 to 49 employees and those with 50 to 99 employees in 1997.
The data analysed in this paper are from the Survey of Innovation 1999, which surveyed manufacturing provincial enterprises with at least 20 employees and at least $250,000 in revenues. Data from the Survey of Innovation 1999 has been linked to the Annual Survey of Manufactures for 1997 and 1999, and the growth of firms was determined based on this data. Eight different indicators of the innovative characteristics of small firms are presented.
Release date: 2004-12-17 - 3. Are Investment Expectations Rational? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2004208Geography: CanadaDescription:
There is much debate over whether agents form rational expectations of variables or whether they suffer from systematic errors in judgment. This paper estimates models for plant-level survey data in order to test rationality for those manufacturing plants that report expectations of capital expenditures. An advantage of using such data is that rationality is tested in markets where agents may not have knowledge of each others' expectations so strategic motives behind purposefully irrational forecasts are minimized. Statistical estimates and test results suggest that expectations may indeed be rational depending on size. That is to say that the larger a plant is, the more resources it can expend on forecasting its future needs. Thus, the statistical results in this paper validate, for the first time, a class of assumptions in the macroeconomic literature.

This analysis gives some insights into how small firms that have made the transition to medium size are different from the rest of the pack in innovativeness, patent use, confidentiality agreements, and research and development tax credits collaboration. It is based on the 1999 Survey of Innovation.

This analysis provides an estimate of the numbers of small companies that have, and have not, grown to medium size. It determines which industries and communities have the highest proportions of quickly growing small firms, where the firms that have not yet grown to medium size are, and how they could be supported in their growth strategy.

Theories of business growth lead us to believe that, to grow, a company needs to be innovative, conduct research and development, have access to multiple sources of funding, protect its intellectual property, engage in alliances and establish itself in a market niche. In this article, interviews with Canadian technology-based companies show that some companies manage to grow by breaking these rules.
