The trend towards the globalization of factor, product and financial markets is drawing an increasing amount of attention. Work is underway to develop methodologies and to harmonize among countries data on the economic activities of globally operating corporations. An understanding of their business models, corporate strategies and organizational structures is also needed to gather and, more importantly, interpret information about their innovation activities. This note identifies four main models of globally operating corporations according to their impact on technology transfer and innovation in their host countries.
Release date: 2003-10-20 - 2. Commercializing the results of research in Canadian universities and hospitals: an update ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20030036654Geography: CanadaDescription:
Many people in the federal and provincial governments, in universities, hospitals and other organizations are asking the same questions about the commercialization of university research: Is it increasing? What are the benefits? How do universities and regions compare? Statistics Canada's 2001 Survey of Intellectual Property Commercialization in the Higher Education Sector shows that commercialization activities took a giant leap from 1999 to 2001. This article includes the results for universities only.
Release date: 2003-10-20 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X20030036655Geography: CanadaDescription:
Although there were over 8,000 companies in Canada reporting research and development (R&D) expenditures in 2000, only 30 of these accounted for over half of all business R&D spending. The result is that only a small number of companies in key industries have a significant impact on Canada's total $11.4 billion business R&D spending. The highest levels of concentration of R&D spending were found in the communications equipment manufacturing sector, while computer systems design and related services showed the lowest.
Release date: 2003-10-20 - 4. Why non-innovators don't innovate ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20030036656Geography: CanadaDescription:
Statistics Canada's Survey of Innovation 1999 collected information on the innovation activities of firms in Canadian manufacturing and selected natural resource industries. The results provide insight into why a firm chooses to take the path of innovation or opts to be a non-innovator. For most non-innovators, the perception is that innovation is not required or is irrelevant to their industry. Non-innovative firms analysed here are those that did not introduce a new or significantly improved product or process in the previous three years and that did not carry out any innovative activities during the survey period.
Release date: 2003-10-20 - 5. The growing importance of business R&D ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20030036659Geography: CanadaDescription:
One of the most commonly used measures of research and development (R&D) performance is the GERD/GDP ratio or total R&D expenditures (Gross Domestic Expenditures on Research and Development) as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). How does Canada compare with the other members of the G-7 and the OECD in terms of its GERD/GDP ratio? From 1989 to 1999, Canada reported the highest level of growth among G-7 countries.
Release date: 2003-10-20 - 6. The federal S&T community-a new Web site ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20030036660Geography: CanadaDescription:
The federal science and technology (S&T) community is made up of numerous government departments and agencies with distinct mandates and specializations, all united by their need for skilled, committed, innovative S&T professionals. The new website at www.sciencetech.gc.ca offers a comprehensive view of what they do. Here's where you can learn more about some of the remarkable achievements of Canada's S&T community, and about the exciting scope of its continuing work.

Release date: 2003-07-31 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X20030026560Geography: CanadaDescription:
Food processing is one of Canada's largest manufacturing industries, consisting of more than 3,000 establishments. Employing close to 230,000 people in 1998, it boasted a gross domestic product of $15 billion that same year. The relationship between the use of advanced manufacturing technology and firm performance during the 1990s, as measured by growth in labour productivity and growth in market share, is the subject of a recently released Statistics Canada study, which finds that a high-technology orientation is closely associated with success.
Release date: 2003-06-27 - 9. A discussion of the emerging nanotechnology ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20030026561Geography: CanadaDescription:
Nanotechnology is an emerging technology. Has it reached the point that warrants the development of a comprehensive statistical measurement program? If so, what indicators should be used? Major spending initiatives in nanotechnology investing are currently underway. There is precedence for using developed methods and techniques to address the questions 'who,' 'what,' 'where' and 'why.' Statistics Canada's experience may be invaluable in the development of a nanotechnology statistical program.

In 2001, Canadian biotech firms raised $980 million in financing capital, a sharp drop from the $2.1 billion raised in 1999. Overall, 114 firms out of 188 (61%) that attempted to raise capital either failed or did not reach their targets. Why are biotech firms encountering difficulties in raising financing capital?
