- Articles and reports: 88-003-X20020036375Geography: CanadaDescription:
A theoretical link between innovation and economic growth has been contemplated since the late 1700s. Professor Ajay Agrawal discusses the significance of knowledge spillovers, the relation to innovation and growth, and the closely related concept of absorptive capacity. Clearly, the immense complexity of the issue of innovation and economic growth has increased scholarly interest in the topic.
Release date: 2002-11-01 - 2. Innovation in organizational settings ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20020036376Geography: CanadaDescription:
One can argue that every organization that provides goods and services is interested in innovation to maximize its competitiveness. The question is whether the organizational structure (the bureaucracy) as the means to organizational ends is conducive to innovations. This paper discusses Dr. Soma Hewa's insights on some of Max Weber's thoughts to understanding the role of innovation in organizations.

Canadian firms are well aware of the benefits of using knowledge management (KM) practices and most of them incorporate some aspects of KM in their management toolkit. Knowledge sharing, creation, generation and maintenance are perceived as important to a firm's productivity.

The public sector is often considered staid and unchanging. Based on recent findings, this perception may need to be updated. Four-fifths of Canadian public sector organizations introduced significantly improved organizational structures or management techniques between 1998 and 2000. This rate of introducing organizational change is twice that recorded by the private sector (38%). The public sector also led the private sector overall in the introduction of significantly improved technologies (85% versus 44%).
Release date: 2002-06-14 - 6. Innovation in an evolving economy ArchivedNotices and consultations: 88-003-X20020026374Geography: CanadaDescription:
Statistics Canada's annual Economic Conference provides a forum for the exchange of empirical research among business, government, research and labour communities. The conference is also a means to promote economic and socio-economic analyses while subjecting existing data to critical assessment as part of an ongoing process of statistical development and review. This year's theme was Innovation in an Evolving Economy. At the May 6-7, 2002 conference there were 12 presentations, based directly on the analysis of Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division (SIEID) data. These presentations were given by SIEID analysts, by Statistics Canada analysts in other groups, by facilitated access researchers and by analysts using published or commissioned estimates.
Release date: 2002-06-14 - 7. IP protection practices by manufacturing firms ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20020016147Geography: CanadaDescription:
Canadian manufacturing firms fall into two groups: The first uses patents and trademarks as a part of successful innovation strategy consisting of regular R&D financed by R&D grants and tax credits introducing world-first innovations. These are usually large firms in the technology-intensive core sector. The second group includes firms of all sizes in all sectors that rely mostly on trade secrets. They typically transfer technology from abroad by introducing Canada-first innovations and rely on government information services more than on R&D grants and tax credits.

In September 2000, a small international group met to develop a survey on knowledge management. Creating the pilot questionnaire required a cooperative effort on behalf of survey taking experts, knowledge management specialists and policy analysts. Bringing together a preliminary questionnaire that met the basic requirements of a group of dynamic and outspoken experts, each with individual and collective objectives was not a simple task.

In recent years, comparing national innovative performances has become increasingly important as countries recognize the importance of innovation for economic growth.
Release date: 2002-02-15 - 10. The importance of competition for innovation ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20020016163Geography: CanadaDescription:
Firms have to be highly innovative to gain competitive advantage in today's increasingly competitive global market. The competition-innovation linkage is empirically examined using Statistics Canada's Survey of Innovation 1999. The evidence shows competition has a positive and significant impact on both technology invention and technology adoption.
