The article investigates whether Internet users spend less time with other people or on other activities.
Release date: 2001-12-11 - 5. Interpreting innovation indicators ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20010035967Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 1997, 41% of engineering services firms identified themselves as innovators, but only 4% of them had introduced breakthrough products or processes that had the potential of putting these firms in the role of global leaders. There's more than meets the eye in interpreting the myriad of indicators describing the "system of innovation".
Release date: 2001-10-31 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X20010035971Geography: CanadaDescription:
Biotechnology firms are generally flexible and innovative in their approaches to survival and growth in Canada and also on the world stage. Read an overview of some of the business strategies and practices used by biotechnology firms to conduct research and development and for some, commercialization of their products.
Release date: 2001-10-31 - 7. Tourism and the trend towards consolidation: The airline, hotel and distribution industries ArchivedArticles and reports: 87-403-X20010015904Geography: CanadaDescription:
The phenomenon of consolidation, characterized by mergers, acquisitions and alliances, is an excellent means of responding to globalization, and constitutes an increasingly common way for companies to position themselves on the global chessboard.
Release date: 2001-10-12 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2001174Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper investigates the evolution of the industrial structure in the Canadian manufacturing sector and its relationship to technological change by examining the take-up of advanced technologies and how it is related to the stochastic growth process in the plant population. Its framework is grounded in the view that growth is a stochastic process that involves learning. Experimentation with new technologies rewards some firms with superior growth and profitability. Examining how growth is associated with the choice of different technology strategies indicates which of these is being rewarded.
The evolution of this process is studied by examining the relationship between the uptake of advanced technologies and the performance of plants in the manufacturing sector. This is done by using cross-sectional data on advanced technology use and by combining it with longitudinal panel data on plant performance. In particular, the paper examines the relationship between the use of information and communications technology (ICT) and the growth in a plant's market share and its relative productivity.
The study finds that a considerable amount of market share is transferred from declining firms to growing firms over a decade. At the same time, the growers increase their productivity relative to the losers. Those technology users that were using communications technologies or that combined technologies from different classes increased their relative productivity the most. In turn, gains in relative productivity were accompanied by gains in market share. Other factors that were associated with gains in market share were the presence of R&D facilities and other innovative activities.
