  • 1. Differences in the characteristics of innovative and non-innovative manufacturing plants Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X200900110849
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This article explores differences in characteristics of innovative and non-innovative manufacturing plants in Canada using results from the Survey of Innovation (SOI) 2005. It finds that innovative plants are more likely than non-innovators to be large, to have employees with higher education credentials, to engage in research and development (R&D) and marketing activities and to have full-time R&D employees. Innovative plants are also more likely to receive external funding, to export and import, to use both formal and informal methods of intellectual property protection, and to have differences in how they rate the importance of success factors.

  • 2. Commercialization activities of innovative manufacturing plants: Findings from the Survey of Innovation, 2005 Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X200800210741
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Innovation commercialization, the process of introducing a new or significantly improved product to market, is an important innovation activity for a plant and is the final stage in new product development. Without successful commercialization, innovations may not return any benefits for a plant's innovation efforts. The Survey of Innovation 2005 asked innovative manufacturing plants questions related to commercialization activities and provides information on the type of these activities being undertaken. Market success is measured in terms of the share of revenues in 2004 from product innovations introduced during the years 2002 to 2004.

  • 3. Five types of innovation in Canadian manufacturing: First results from the Survey of Innovation 2005 Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X200700210316
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    The most recent Statistics Canada Survey of Innovation (2005) distinguished five types of innovation. The questions on types of innovation were redesigned in response to the 1997 revision of the Oslo Manual, which incorporated new insights on innovation in the service industries, and broadened the concept of process innovation to include not only production processes but also methods of product delivery. This article examines the five different types of innovation in Canadian manufacturing establishments and industry groups.

  • 4. Motives for co-operation in innovation: Evidence from the 2005 Canadian Survey of Innovation Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X200700210317
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This article summarizes the findings of an econometric study using data from the 2005 Canadian Survey of Innovation. The study looked at the decision of firms in the Canadian manufacturing sector to co-operate on innovation projects. The analysis reveals that the factors influencing the decision to co-operate in order to access external knowledge are very similar to those influencing cost-sharing motives. It also finds that public funding leads firms to co-operate in order to access external knowledge and research and development (R&D).

  • 5. Innovation and global supply chains: Findings from the Survey of Innovation 2005 Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X200700210322
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This article sheds light on selected characteristics of firms, both innovators and non-innovators that participated in a global supply chain. Using results from the Survey of Innovation 2005, four indicators of global supply chain participation are explored: sales; source of raw materials and components; source of new machinery and equipment; and contracting out of R&D services.

  • 6. Research and development outsourcing and innovation: Evidence from micro-data Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X200700210330
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Recent improvements in information and communications technologies (ICTs), coupled with the rise of new global players such as China and India, have enabled firms to outsource a growing share of their activities. This has allowed them to benefit from cost savings and to focus on their core competencies. While domestic and foreign outsourcing of certain manufacturing functions have been prevalent for decades, only recently has the trend extended significantly to services such as legal, accounting, data entry, and research and development (R&D).

  • 7. How do innovative manufacturing establishments acquire knowledge and technology: Findings from the 2005 Survey of Innovation Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X20070019619
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    The 2005 Survey of Innovation asked innovative manufacturing establishments questions related to how they acquired knowledge and technology for innovation and from whom. This article analyzes the two thirds of manufacturing establishments that were innovative that is they introduced a new or significantly improved product or process during the three reference years, 2002 to 2004 and sheds light on their purchase of knowledge and technology, the importance of information sources, and their collaborative partners.

  • 9. Measuring the impact of nonprofit innovation enablers Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X20060029243
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Innovative firms cite industry associations as important sources of ideas more frequently than they cite federal government research laboratories or universities according to data from Statistics Canada's 2003 Innovation Survey. We need a better understanding of the contributions and impact of nonprofit innovation enablers such as industry associations, and to achieve that we need to overcome obstacles to identifying them and their contributions in the data. Without this understanding, policy makers may overlook an important class of actual and potential innovation enablers.

    Articles and reports: 88-003-X20060029244
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Research and development (R&D) is a crucial activity in the innovation process. Firms that do not engage in this activity, seriously jeopardize their competitiveness and their creativity in relation to competitors (Griliches, 2000; Belderbos et al. 2004). This article discusses acquisitions strategies of research and development services.
