1. Investment in Intangible Assets in Canada: R&D, Innovation, Brand, and Mining, Oil and Gas Exploration Expenditures Archived
Articles and reports: 15-206-X2009026
Geography: Canada
Description:
This paper presents estimates of intangible investment in Canada for the purpose of innovation, advertising and resource extraction. It first expands upon work by Beckstead and Gellatly (2003), Baldwin and Hanel (2003), Beckstead and Gellatly (2003), Beckstead and Vinodrai (2003) and Baldwin and Beckstead (2003) who argue that the scope of innovative activity extends beyond research and development (R&D) as defined by the Frascati Manual. It extends the definition of innovative activities to include all scientific and engineering expenditures - regardless of whether they are market-based or produced with a firm. The paper also considers expenditures on intangible items such as brands or resource exploration.
The paper contributes to the existing literature by creating intangible investment estimates (science and engineering knowledge, advertising, mineral exploration by industry) using Statistics Canada's high quality and internally consistent databases. It produces estimates that accord with other intangibles studies (Corrado, Hulten and Sichel 2005, 2006; Jalava, Ahmavarra and Alanen 2007) and shows that traditional R&D type investment estimates account for about a quarter of intangible science and engineering investments.

2. Organizational and technological improvements in Canadian firms and organizations, 2004 to 2006 Archived
Articles and reports: 88-003-X200800210739
Geography: Canada
Description:
The 2006 Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology (SECT) included two questions that dealt with the issues of organizational and technological change. This article will examine organizational and technological change in the private and public sectors, providing the first look at this cross-economy data. An upcoming article will explore the relationship between the introduction of significantly improved organizational structures, management techniques, or technology and the training associated with implementation of these changes.

3. The transmission of technology and knowledge to innovative Canadian manufacturing firms Archived
Articles and reports: 88-003-X200800210742
Geography: Canada
Description:
In its recently released science and technology (S&T) strategy, Mobilizing Science and Technology to Canada's Advantage (Government of Canada 2007), the federal government stated its commitment to improving its ability to measure and report on the impact of federal S&T expenditures. In response to this challenge, the Policy Research Initiative (PRI) collaborated with departments and agencies that conduct and fund S&T to explore these issues. This article provides a summary from one of the PRI reports, The Transmission of Technology and Knowledge to Innovative Manufacturing Firms by Publicly Funded Research Organizations.

4. The use of patents and the protection of intellectual property in the Canadian manufacturing industry Archived
Articles and reports: 88-003-X200800110584
Geography: Canada
Description:
Using data from the Survey of Innovation 2005, this article will examine the use of patents by Canadian manufacturing plants. Survey findings establish that plants use strategic methods more than patents for intellectual property protection. Patent use varies both by how big the plant is and whether it is innovative or non-innovative. In addition, the use of patents by Canadian manufacturing plants varies by the subsector in which they are classified.

7. Why don't plants innovate? Findings from the Survey of Innovation 2005 Archived
Articles and reports: 88-003-X200800110595
Geography: Canada
Description:
The 2005 Survey of Innovation asked non-innovative manufacturing plants why they did not innovate; that is, why they did not introduce a new or significantly improved product or process to the market during the three-year reference period 2002 to 2004. Lack of market demand was the main response. An examination of repondents' other specified reasons shows that some non-innovators may actually be innovative although they do not perceive themselves to be. Innovative and non-innovative plants perceive success factors, such as developing and seeking new markets, in significantly different ways. Non-innovative plants are not expected to be innovative in the near future.

8. Commercializing innovative products: An overview of new statistical indicators Archived
Articles and reports: 88-003-X200800110596
Geography: Canada
Description:
In the fall of 2007, Statistics Canada designed a survey to gather information on how successfully businesses commercialize innovative products. What strategies must businesses use to achieve their ends? How can they attain their business goals? How is commercial success or failure measured? These are some of the challenges that drove the development of a new survey on commercializing innovation.

9. 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).

10. 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.

16. 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.

19. Multinational Enterprise Project Archived
Articles and reports: 88-003-X20060019101
Geography: Canada
Description:
In the current environment, economic activities undertaken by enterprises extend beyond national borders. As a result, national and international statistical offices are faced with new challenges for the accurate measurement of these activities. These challenges call for increased statistical standardization together with greater international co-operation. The Multinational Enterprise Project (MNE) arose from a presentation made by Statistics Canada during the session on globalization at the June 2003 Conference of European Statisticians in Geneva. This article highlights results and recommendations of the first phase of the project.
