Book excerpt: This paper investigates how changes in technology use of individual plants in the Canadian manufacturing sector are related to two measures of performance - productivity growth and market-share growth. The paper describes whether plants are adopting new advanced technologies and if they do so, whether they enjoy superior performance in these two areas. It makes use of panel data on advanced technology use from Statistics Canada's 1993 and 1998 advanced manufacturing surveys that are combined with longitudinal data on plant performance. Growth in technology use during the period is significantly associated with relative productivity growth. In turn, growth in relative labour productivity is translated into growth in market share. Plants that improve their production efficiencies or produce higher quality products are able to realize gains in market share. Growth in the use of advanced technologies also had a positive impact on a plant's growth in market share, probably through its impact on product innovation. The market rewards those businesses that managed to improve their efficiency or the quality of their product and concomitantly their labour productivity with an increase in market share. The paper also investigates other plant characteristics that are related to productivity and marketshare growth. R&D is related to market-share growth. The use of information and communications networks for ordering goods and services is associated with higher productivity growth.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the evolution of industrial structure in the Canadian food processing sector and its relationship to technological change. It does so by examining the impact of adopting advanced manufacturing technologies, amongst them information and communication technologies (ICTs), on plant performance. This study utilizes a linked dataset combining advanced technology use data from a 1998 special survey with firm performance data derived from administrative records covering the period 1988-1997. The data file contains information on advanced technology use (by type of technology), plant characteristics (size, nationality, emphasis given to training, nnovativeness) and plant performance (growth in productivity and market share). The paper first examines the characteristics of firms that adopt advanced technologies. It then asks how the use of these technologies is related to growth in productivity and market share. Plants that adopted advanced technologies were larger and foreign controlled. They tended to be more innovative along a number of dimensions other than just their technological orientation. They were the ones that adopted a number of advanced business production processes that made use of advanced technologies. They were plants that developed a human resource strategy that focused on developing a skilled workforce and emphasized training. Plants that adopted more advanced technologies enjoyed superior productivity growth. Process control and network communications technologies are particularly important to productivity growth in the food-processing sector. Those plants that increased their relative productivity growth and used more advanced technologies saw their market share increase. Once technology use was taken into account, few of the other characteristics of plants that were related to technology use contributed to increased relative productivity growth -- except for the emphasis given to a human resource strategy that focused on the development of skilled labour and training. Similarly, apart from technology use, none of the plant characteristics that are related to the use of advanced technologies were related to the growth in market share.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book excerpt: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
