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.

72. Canada's Journey to an Information Society Archived
Journals and periodicals: 56-508-X
Geography: Canada
Description:
This volume is Statistics Canada's second compendium publication on the subject of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in Canada. It builds on the material provided in our first compendium publication, Networked Canada: Beyond the information highway, as well as the ongoing Connectedness Series. It also goes one step further by representing a comprehensive compilation of measurements and analyses from diverse areas across the Agency. It traces the evolution of our economy and highlights many facets of our society's transformation.
Part 1 offers a profile of Canada's ICT sector, including key indicators of change. Changes occurring in individual industries that supply ICT goods and services are also analysed.
Part 2 addresses economy-wide issues (including health, education and justice) from a sectoral approach, covering ICT diffusion and utilization among business, households and governments.
Part 3 offers a collection of thematic analyses focussing on topical issues of the Information Society. These include the high-tech labour market, information technology (IT) occupations, the digital divide, telecommunications services, broadband use and deployment, and the use of ICTs by cultural industries.
Part 4 examines Canada's international involvement in the Information Society. Contributions from policy departments offer an account of the Canadian role in promoting a global Information Society, with particular emphasis on assistance to developing countries.

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.

38. Organizational and technological change in Canada Archived
Articles and reports: 88-003-X20020026372
Geography: Canada
Description:
The public sector is often considered staid and unchanging. Based on recent findings, this perception may need to be updated. Four-fifths of Canadian public sector organizations introduced significantly improved organizational structures or management techniques between 1998 and 2000. This rate of introducing organizational change is twice that recorded by the private sector (38%). The public sector also led the private sector overall in the introduction of significantly improved technologies (85% versus 44%).

Rates of organisational and technological change in the public sector by employment size groups are presented. Finally, the paper concludes with a look at these changes in the public sector based on industrial classification.

40. Information and Communications Technologies in Canada Archived
Journals and periodicals: 56-506-X
Description:
Information and communications technologies in Canada is designed to profile the growth and development of the Canadian information and communications technologies (ICT) sector. The publication provides a statistical overview of the ICT sector on the basis of key economic variables, including production, employment, international trade, revenue and research and development expenditures.
Statistics Canada's first quantification of the ICT sector appeared in the compendium publication entitled Networked Canada: beyond the information highway, catalogue no. 56-504-XIE. This publication updates these estimates with the most recent data, while providing improved industrial coverage and in-depth analysis of Canada's ICT sector.
Many different data sources have been used throughout the project, and while all efforts have been made to maximize the amount of data available, it has not been possible in all instances to consistently report for all ICT industries and all relevant variables. The conversion to the new North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) has largely contributed to these difficulties, and it is expected that a greater range of data will be available once all of the survey programs begin reporting on the basis of this new industry classification.
