71. Starting the New Century: Technological Change in the Canadian Private Sector, 2000-2002 Archived
Articles and reports: 88F0006X2004001
Description:
Technological changes are occurring at home, work and play. In the workplace, change occurs in how business is conducted, its production processes and office procedures and much of this change is related to the introduction of new or significantly improved technologies. This paper is based on information from the 2002 Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology (SECT) (see the Appendix) and concentrates on the acquisition of significantly improved technologies in the private sector. The private sector and its two major subsectors, the goods producing and services producing sectors, are presented by employment-size groups. The technological change rates by major sector are also provided.
Technological change in the workplace includes the seemingly simple purchases of off-the-shelf technologies such as accounting software; colour printers with double-sided printing and facsimile capabilities; and sophisticated medical diagnostic machines and equipment. Acquisition of new or significantly improved technologies is not limited to purchases, but also includes leasing and licensing as well as customizing and developing technologies. Another technology acquisition method, which could incorporate all of the other technology acquisition methods, is 'putting into place an improved production facility' by, for example, retro-fitting pulp and paper mills. At the turn of the new century, the Canadian private sector is not resisting the lure of change - 4 out of 10 private sector firms introduced technological change from 2000 to 2002.

77. Who's Sharing What with Whom? How Canadian Businesses Used Electronic Networks to Share Information in 2001 Archived
Articles and reports: 88F0006X2003002
Description:
Today, businesses and individuals are more frequently using electronic networks to obtain information; but are they also using these networks to share information or to create business solutions? Individuals can turn to the Internet to check out companies that post annual reports, catalogues and job opportunities. Businesses can post their catalogues, ask for and reply to tenders, offer training, communicate with customers and suppliers, and post job opportunities over electronic networks. Finally, public sector administrations have entered heavily into electronic information sharing under such initiatives as Government On-Line.
The Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology captured how, in 2001, businesses used the Internet, intranets, extranets or electronic data interchanges (EDIs) to make information available within their organizations, to their suppliers or customers, or accessible to other organizations. Businesses were asked the types of information, or interactive or network-based activities they made available via electronic networks. Information included product descriptions or catalogues, order status, demand projections, inventory data, customer information and job opportunities. The one interactive or network-based activity captured was electronic training. The information flows captured by this question provide a better understanding of how e-business, in particular electronic customer and supplier relationships, is operating in Canada.

78. Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology - Custom Tabulations
56C0007
Description:
These custom tabulations provide data from the Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology (SECT), which is being conducted by Statistics Canada on behalf of Industry Canada. The SECT provides a set of comprehensive data from a sample of Canadian private and public sector enterprises on the use of computers, Internet and websites, as well as the involvement of the Internet in electronic commerce. The survey covers most industrial sectors with a few exceptions, such as construction; local governments; production of crops and animals; and fishing, hunting and trapping. Participation in this survey is mandatory.

The objective of SECT is to measure both the use of various technologies by Canadian businesses and the extent to which the Internet is used to buy and sell goods and services. This survey also measures the barriers to buying and selling over the Internet.

Electronic commerce is defined as sales over the Internet, with or without online payment. Included are the value of orders received over the Internet, Extranets and electronic data interchange (EDI) on the Internet. Excluded are sales using EDI over proprietary networks. Automatic teller machines are excluded, as is the volume of financial transactions conducted over the Internet. Included are service charges received for conducting transactions over the Internet.

24. An Historical Comparison of Technological Change, 1998-2000 and 2000-2002, in the Private and Public Sectors Archived
Articles and reports: 88F0006X2004007
Description:
This paper presents data on technological change that have been made comparable from the Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology (SECT) for 2000 and 2002. It shows that when comparable data for the 1998 to 2000 and 2000 to 2002 periods (based on the definition and survey universe employed by SECT 2000) are used, the propensity to adopt new technologies in the private sector has remained constant at about 40%. The rate of technology adoption in the public sector remained at four out of five organizations introducing significantly improved technologies (a level about twice as high as that for the private sector). This rate also shows little change from 2000. The paper presents the comparable technological change data, while explaining differences in the wording of the survey questions and universe between the two reference years. Information is provided for private and public sectors, selected employment size groups and sectors of both private and public sectors.

25. Technological Change in the Public Sector, 2000-2002 Archived
Articles and reports: 88F0006X2004008
Description:
For 2002, the rate of technology adoption in the public sector stood at close to double that of the private sector: 82% versus 42%. Quite obviously, not all turn-of-the-century technological change within the public sector was directly linked to the Year 2000 phenomena. Rather, public sector organizations appear to refresh their technologies on a continual basis. It also appears that the public sector remains committed to supporting the acquisition of significantly improved technologies through training.
This paper is based on information from the 2002 Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology (SECT) and concentrates on the acquisition of significantly improved technologies in the public sector. To provide context, comparisons are made with the private sector, with special attention given to employment size groups. The paper outlines the methods employed to acquire new technologies. It also provides an overview of three sectors within the public sector: educational services, health care and social services, and public administration.

28. Information and Communication Technology Use: Are Small Firms Catching up? Archived
Articles and reports: 11-621-M2004009
Geography: Canada
Description:
This paper examines the adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) in small and large firms and the technology gaps that exist between them. It covers the period from 1999 to 2002 and uses the Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology.
Initially, incorporating ICT into a business was a challenge for many small firms because of the cost of the infrastructure and the inability to quickly adjust their business plans accordingly. More recently however, small firms in Canada have managed to close the technology gap between themselves and large firms regarding basic technologies such as personal computers, e-mail and Internet use.
Small firms continue to lag behind large firms in regard to implementing more complex technologies such as websites, intranets, extranets and online sales systems. The new challenge for small firms will be closing these technology gaps.
