- 1. Manufacturing Overview Research Papers ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 31F0027MGeography: CanadaDescription:
The intent of this research paper series is to address a variety of topics related to the Canadian manufacturing sector as a whole. The papers in this series are based on the Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) and focus on the entire manufacturing sector (all 22 major manufacturing groups). Other data sources are used in specific papers. The topics covered include packaging products used by manufacturing industries, evolution of production costs, comparison of establishment groups (ranked by volume of shipments) and stages of processing.

Release date: 2002-10-16 - Table: 15-001-X20020076510Description:
This analytical paper focusses on how pharmaceutical manufacturing production is distributed and which factors favour its future growth, using such variables as its gross domestic product (GDP), employment, research and development (R&D) and innovation patterns. How this industry differs from other manufacturing industries is also discussed.
Release date: 2002-10-07 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X20020026373Geography: CanadaDescription:
The manufacturing sector is looked upon as the source of innovation and technological change, but the sheer size of service activity in the economy means that the competitive advantage will increasingly depend upon this sector's ability to innovate and produce technologies.
Release date: 2002-06-14 - 9. The Importance of Entry to Canadian Manufacturing with an Appendix on Measurement Issues ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2002189Geography: CanadaDescription:
Understanding the importance of the dynamic entry process in the Canadian economy involves measuring size of entry. The main purpose of this paper is to summarize the information we have on the amount of entry in Canada.
The paper also fulfils another purpose. Some studies have focused on cross-country comparisons (Geroski and Schwalbach 1991; OECD 2001). Interpretation of the results of these studies is difficult unless methodological issues regarding how entry is measured are addressed. Without an understanding of the extent to which different databases produce different results, international comparisons are difficult to evaluate. Cross-country comparisons that are derived from extremely different data sources may be misleading because of the lack of comparability.
Since there is more than one reliable database that can be used to estimate entry in Canada, this paper asks how measured entry rates vary across different Canadian databases. By examining the difference in entry rates produced by these databases, we provide an estimate of the range or confidence interval that should be used in evaluating whether there are real differences in measured entry rates across countries. We also offer guidance as to the questions that should be asked about the databases used by researchers who conduct international studies. Finally, we make suggestions as to areas of comparison on which international studies should focus.
Release date: 2002-05-29 - 10. Enhancing Food Safety and Productivity: Technology Use in the Canadian Food Processing Industry ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2002168Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper examines the factors contributing to the adoption of advanced technologies in the Canadian food-processing sector. The numbers of technologies used by a plant is found to be highly correlated with expected gains in firm performance. The benefits of enhanced food safety and quality, as well as productivity improvements, are closely associated with technology use. Impediments that negatively affect technology use include software costs, problems with external financing, lack of cash flow for financing, and internal management problems. Even after accounting for the different benefits and costs associated with technology adoption, the numbers of advanced technologies that are adopted are found to be greater in larger plants, in foreign-controlled plants, in plants that engage in both primary and secondary processing, and in the dairy, fruit and vegetable and "other" food product industries.

Release date: 2002-05-23 - 9. IP protection practices by manufacturing firms ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20020016147Geography: CanadaDescription:
Canadian manufacturing firms fall into two groups: The first uses patents and trademarks as a part of successful innovation strategy consisting of regular R&D financed by R&D grants and tax credits introducing world-first innovations. These are usually large firms in the technology-intensive core sector. The second group includes firms of all sizes in all sectors that rely mostly on trade secrets. They typically transfer technology from abroad by introducing Canada-first innovations and rely on government information services more than on R&D grants and tax credits.
Release date: 2002-02-15 - 10. The importance of competition for innovation ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20020016163Geography: CanadaDescription:
Firms have to be highly innovative to gain competitive advantage in today's increasingly competitive global market. The competition-innovation linkage is empirically examined using Statistics Canada's Survey of Innovation 1999. The evidence shows competition has a positive and significant impact on both technology invention and technology adoption.
