Download or read book Policy Analysis in Canada written by Laurent Dobuzinskis and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-06-30 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of what some academics refer to as 'the policy analysis movement' represents an effort to reform certain aspects of government behaviour. The policy analysis movement is the result of efforts made by actors inside and outside formal political decision-making processes to improve policy outcomes by applying systematic evaluative rationality to the development and implementation of policy options. This volume offers a comprehensive overview of the many ways in which the policy analysis movement has been conducted, and to what effect, in Canadian governments and, for the first time, in business associations, labour unions, universities, and other non-governmental organizations. Editors Laurent Dobuzinskis, Michael Howlett, and David Laycock have brought together a wide range of contributors to address questions such as: What do policy analysts do? What techniques and approaches do they use? What is their influence on policy-making in Canada? Is there a policy analysis deficit? What norms and values guide the work done by policy analysts working in different institutional settings? Contributors focus on the sociology of policy analysis, demonstrating how analysts working in different organizations tend to have different interests and to utilize different techniques. They compare and analyze the significance of these different styles and approaches, and speculate about their impact on the policy process.

Download or read book The Economics of Vertical Disintegration written by D. G. McFetridge and published by Vancouver, B.C., Canada : Fraser Institute. This book was released on 1988 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the back cover: The fundamental question addressed by this study is the extent to which service functions formerly performed within industrial firms have been contracted out. If the service sector has grown primarily because manufacturing and other industries have contracted out janitorial, security and other business services, then there in not much economic significance to service sector growth. This also implies that observed declines in manufacturing employment may also represent nothing more than inter-sectoral shifts in the location of employment. This study breaks new ground in developing a series of statistical approaches to the measurement of contracting out. Based on a solid theoretical framework, three new empirical measures of contracting out are presented. The results vary somewhat by method but the overall conclusion is that contracting out is an important phenomenon.

Download or read book Telecommunications in Canada written by Steven Globerman and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the back cover: The telecommunications industry in several important and dramatic ways does not fit the stereotype of a service industry. In particular, it is a relatively capital intensive industry that has enjoyed well-above average rates of productivity growth. Technological changes affecting the industry in recent years have been marked and have spawned new communications activities such as cellular radio. The employment growth generated in the industry has been associated with an increase in average educational levels, rather than a significant "deskilling" that numerous observers of the service sector worry about. The prospects are for continued performance along these lines. However, continued government restrictions on competition in the industry could thwart the realization of many of the benefits of productivity and technological change on both the supply and demand sides of the market.
