    • 1. Artificial intelligence adoption and productivity in Canadian firms
      Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600400002
      Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely recognized as a transformative technology with the potential to reshape business operations and drive productivity growth. Understanding the relationship between AI adoption and business performance is critical for shaping policies that foster innovation, technology diffusion and sustainable economic growth, especially given Canada’s persistent productivity challenges. This article summarizes key findings from the study “The Role of Complementary Capabilities in AI Adoption and Productivity: Firm-Level Evidence from Canada” by Li and Liu (2026), published in Canadian Public Policy. Using a novel firm-level database that links multiple waves of the Survey of Digital Technology and Internet Use (SDTIU) to administrative business microdata, the study examines factors influencing AI adoption among Canadian businesses and explores the relationship between AI adoption and firms’ labour productivity.

Using data from two technology use surveys, this article profiles individual and business users of digital government services and examines the barriers faced by current and potential users.

    • 11. Canadian firms connect with government on-line Archived

      Geography: Canada

    • 12. Our Lives in Digital Times Archived
      Articles and reports: 56F0004M2006014
      Geography: Canada
      Description:

      This paper uses statistical information to begin to shed light on the outcomes and impacts of information and communications technology (ICT). Some of the expected outcomes associated with ICT are presented, while factual evidence is used to demonstrate that these outcomes have so far not materialized. The paperless office is the office that never happened, with consumption of paper at an all-time high and the business of transporting paper thriving. Professional travel has most likely increased during a period when the Internet and videoconferencing technology were taking-off; and, e-commerce sales do not justify recent fears of negative consequences on retail employment and real estate. The paper further demonstrates that some of the key outcomes of ICTs are manifested in changing behavioural patterns, including communication and spending patterns.

    • 13. Are Small Businesses Positioning Themselves for Growth? A Comparative Look at the Use of Selected Management Practices by Firm Size Archived
      Articles and reports: 88F0006X2006010
      Description:

      It is well-known that small firms are managed differently from large firms, and this paper provides further evidence in support of this idea while suggesting that some small firms are adopting management behaviours of larger firms. Could these small firms be positioning themselves for growth or using organisational innovation as a tool for survival or adopting some formal organization practices early? In 2004, the Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology provided a list of eight management practices that according to interviews with small and medium-sized firms indicated potential firm growth. The management practices listed were organisational structures; employee feedback surveys; mentoring or coaching programs; and written strategies for marketing; managing growth; commercialisation of intellectual property; succession management; and risk management.
