Book excerpt: This paper examines the determinants of innovation and the role of innovation in productivity growth, shifts in market share, and survival in the Canadian manufacturing sector. It presents a model that examines the effect of innovation on plant performance and plant survival, using a unique data set that allows development of a detailed time profile of plant performance both before & after the introduction of an innovation. Both process innovation and product innovation are considered along with their linkages to labour productivity, survival rates, plant performance, and gain in market share. Relationships between innovation and research & development, technology competencies, and previous innovation & growth are also explored.

The first part analyzes the sector in seven sections, each of which outlines a different thread related to sectoral performance: the presence of manufacturing industries in the Canadian economy, labour productivity in Canada and in comparison with other countries, employment performance, destinations of manufacturing shipments, production costs, and capital investment by industrial group. The second & final part attempts to explain the similarities & differences found in the performance of individual industries described in part one. It reports on the use of advanced technologies, summarizes connectedness in manufacturing, discusses innovation and human capital issues, and notes major challenges faced by the sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report builds on 2 types of research on the structure and performance of Canadian manufacturing industries. One line addresses industries of domestic producers who serve the small Canadian market in competition with imports and is concerned with the productive efficiency of these industries but not with their short-run responses to international competition. The other line concerns the short-run sensitivity of responses of the manufacturing industries' prices, output, and employment levels to disturbances, focused on responses to domestic disturbances but not international. Using annual data on many individual industries, the study builds a statistical model of adjustments to changes in international competition such as changes in prices and varieties of importable goods, and in Canadian tariffs and the exchange rate. It tracks the effects of those changes on the selling prices of Canadian producers, quantities of imports and exports, and the key input decisions of employment and capital expenditures. It draws conclusions about these adjustment processes for the typical manufacturing industry but also shows how these adjustments vary among sectors and types of industries.

Book excerpt: From the Executive Summary: The purpose of this study is to measure and analyse the recent performance of Canadian manufacturing and to examine the extent to which the recent weakness of this key sector of the Canadian economy reflects cyclical factors in Canada and other industrialized countries as opposed to structural problems which are long-term in nature. The analysis proceeds first at an aggregate level in which the performance of the manufacturing sector as a whole is viewed relative to the performance of the overall economy. Then the manufacturing sector is divided into 32 separate industries in order to get a clearer view of Canada's areas of strength and weakness within manufacturing.

Book excerpt: This study of innovation - its intensity, the sources used for knowledge creation, and its impacts - is based on a comprehensive survey of innovation of Canadian manufacturing firms. Attention is paid to the different actors in the system, who both compete with and complement one another. The study investigates how innovation regimes differ across size of firm and across industries. Owing to the high degree of foreign investment in Canada, special attention is paid to the performance of foreign-owned firms. The innovation regime of Canadian innovators is compared with results of studies of other industrialized countries. The picture of a typical innovator is a firm that combines internal resources and external contacts to develop a set of complementary strategies. The study finds that innovating firms depend not only on R&D, but also on ideas and technology from various other sources, both internal and external to the firm.

Book excerpt: "Industrial R&D (IR&D) is the private sector's investment of time and resources in the development of new ideas, technologies, and processes to promote business performance and create better products. IR&D also contributes to meeting pressing social challenges, ranging from development of new medical treatments to mitigation of environmental impacts to changing the ways in which Canadians work together. The returns on investments in IR&D can be high for the firms undertaking it, the economy at large, and, in particular, the region in which the IR&D takes place. IR&D and innovation are not synonymous. IR&D consists of any scientific research or technology development undertaken by Canadian businesses. Innovation, on the other hand, is a broader concept that can be defined as 'new or better ways of doing valued things.' IR&D is a critical driver of innovation, which, in turn, plays an important role in catalyzing productivity gains across the economy, thereby stimulating wealth creation and improving living standards for all Canadians. The historically low rate of investment in IR&D in Canada compared to other countries is one of the key factors that also accounts for the consistently wide gap in productivity growth between Canada and the United States"--Executive summary.
