- 41. Biotechnology scientific activities in selected federal government departments and agencies, 2001-2002 ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-001-X20030017885Description:
Data on science and technology (S&T) expenditures and person-years allocated to biotechnology for the year 2001-2002 were collected from selected federal departments and agencies. The criterion for selection was significant activity in this field. Survey results contribute to the work of the Canadian Biotechnology Strategy.
Release date: 2003-02-07 - Articles and reports: 88F0006X2002017Description:
This paper is an exploratory study to help us identify and characterize innovation practices in Canada's dynamic service industries. It uses logistical estimates to demonstrate that innovation in the services sector is not homogeneous. For each type of innovation 'product, process or both. there is a different business strategy. Small firms do more product innovation, and clients, along with fairs and exhibitions, appear to be the primary sources of information.
Product innovation is generally done by technical services industries. Process innovation does not seem to favour any particular sector but, understandably, the factors that have the most impact on this type of innovation are company flexibility and information from patent literature, consulting firms and internal management. The most complex strategy-for both product and process innovation-is associated with large firms in the communications and finance sub-sectors. This type of innovation has a larger number of significant factors than the other two types. Finally, this paper shows that there are differences among the forms of innovation and that these differences apply within individual sub-sectors.

This publication provides an explanation of the estimation procedures used to calculate research and development (R & D) expenditures in the higher education sector for 2000-2001.
Release date: 2003-01-10 - Articles and reports: 88F0006X2002015Description:
This publication presents the national gross domestic expenditures on research and development (GERD) from 1991 to 2002, as well as the provincial GERD from 1991 to 2000. Up until 1985, GERD included research and development (R&D) expenditures in just the Natural Sciences and Engineering (NSE) field. Beginning in 1985, Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) activities were also included in GERD. An additional series of tables, showing R&D expenditures at the national level in either science from 1963 to 1990 or at the provincial level from 1979 to 1990, may be obtained from the Science and Innovation Surveys Section of the Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division.

- 11. The growing importance of business R&D ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20030036659Geography: CanadaDescription:
One of the most commonly used measures of research and development (R&D) performance is the GERD/GDP ratio or total R&D expenditures (Gross Domestic Expenditures on Research and Development) as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). How does Canada compare with the other members of the G-7 and the OECD in terms of its GERD/GDP ratio? From 1989 to 1999, Canada reported the highest level of growth among G-7 countries.
Release date: 2003-10-20 - 12. The federal S&T community-a new Web site ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20030036660Geography: CanadaDescription:
The federal science and technology (S&T) community is made up of numerous government departments and agencies with distinct mandates and specializations, all united by their need for skilled, committed, innovative S&T professionals. The new website at www.sciencetech.gc.ca offers a comprehensive view of what they do. Here's where you can learn more about some of the remarkable achievements of Canada's S&T community, and about the exciting scope of its continuing work.

In 2001, Statistics Canada conducted the third Survey of Intellectual Property Commercialization in the Higher Education Sector, which was designed to illuminate the overall process of intellectual property (IP) management. Over 100 universities, degree-granting colleges and affiliated research hospitals took part in this voluntary survey. The results show that over 60% of institutions are actively managing (identifying, protecting, promoting and/or commercializing) their IP. Royalties from licensing increased from $18.9 million in 1999 to $44.4 million in 2001. To date, universities and research hospitals have created a total of 680 spin-off companies.
Release date: 2003-10-20 - 14. Estimates of total spending on research and development in the health field in Canada, 1988 to 2002 ArchivedStats in brief: 88-001-X20030067877Description:
Expenditures on Health research and development are growing as a percentage of Gross Domestic Expenditure on Research and Development (GERD). GERD includes expenditure in the natural sciences and engineering and in the social sciences and humanities fields. This service bulletin presents details of expenditure on Health R&D performance and funding.

Release date: 2003-07-31 - 16. Industrial research and development ArchivedStats in brief: 88-001-X20030057878Description:
The statistics in this bulletin are derived from the 2001 survey of industrial research and development activities in Canada, which covers firms spending a million dollars or more on the performance or funding of research and development in Canada, and from the administrative data of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) for firms which spend less than a million dollars on the performance or funding of research and development
Release date: 2003-07-24 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X20030026560Geography: CanadaDescription:
Food processing is one of Canada's largest manufacturing industries, consisting of more than 3,000 establishments. Employing close to 230,000 people in 1998, it boasted a gross domestic product of $15 billion that same year. The relationship between the use of advanced manufacturing technology and firm performance during the 1990s, as measured by growth in labour productivity and growth in market share, is the subject of a recently released Statistics Canada study, which finds that a high-technology orientation is closely associated with success.
Release date: 2003-06-27 - 18. A discussion of the emerging nanotechnology ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20030026561Geography: CanadaDescription:
Nanotechnology is an emerging technology. Has it reached the point that warrants the development of a comprehensive statistical measurement program? If so, what indicators should be used? Major spending initiatives in nanotechnology investing are currently underway. There is precedence for using developed methods and techniques to address the questions 'who,' 'what,' 'where' and 'why.' Statistics Canada's experience may be invaluable in the development of a nanotechnology statistical program.
