Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, Canadian firms have undertaken significant expansion abroad. Today about 1,300 Canadian-based firms operate foreign (primarily U.S.) subsidiaries. Other major industrialized countries have experienced a similar expansion of direct investment abroad. This process of globalization has created important intra-firm linkages throughout world markets. Today, one-third of world trade is intra-firm. This means that Canada's international competitiveness depends on both the presence of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in this country and Canadian-based MNEs abroad. This volume considers some major issues linked with Canadian direct investment abroad: whether and to what extent outward direct investment imparts net benefits to the Canadian economy over and above those realized by the investing companies themselves; labour-market issues (shifts in employment between low and high productivity sectors); technology issues (adoption, skills, diffusion, transfer, R&D); and tax issues (objectives and constraints on taxation of FDI, and location effects).

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multinational enterprises have become one of the distinctive institutions of our times. Controversy over their economic and political effects, and over appropriate public policy responses, has become common in home and host countries and in international agencies. Much of this debate is reminiscent of the role of large corporations generally, particularly in their interregional and intergroup effects. The multinational setting, however, would have raised distinctive issues even apart from the strong surges of nationalism and anti-imperialism which have marked recent history. Canada has a long and unusual experience with such enterprises. Foreign control of capital in the nonfinancial industries (manufacturing, petroleum and gas, other mining and smelting, utilities, merchandising) was already 20 percent in 1930 and 25 percent in 1948. It rose to 36 percent by the late 1960s, but has since receded to about 30 percent. In 1975, fully 55 percent of the capital in manufacturing was controlled outside Canada, as was 72 per cent of that in petroleum and gas, and 58 percent in other mining. These figures exceed those of other developed countries, although there have been striking increases in recent decades. About 80 percent of the direct invest ment capital in Canada is from the United States. Recently, Canadians have xi xii FOREWORD become aware of a surge of Canadian direct investment abroad, which on a flow basis has exceeded inflows (exclusive of retained earnings) for most of the 1970s.

Download or read book Silent Surrender written by Kari Levitt and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2002-11-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1970, Silent Surrender helped educate a generation of students about Canadian political economy. Kari Levitt details the historical background of foreign investments in Canada, their acceleration since World War II, and the nature of intrusions by multinational corporations into a sovereign state. Silent Surrender was prophetic in predicting that the ultimate consequence of relinquishing control of the Canadian economy to United States business interests would be political disintegration through the balkanization of the country and its eventual piecemeal absorption into the American imperial system. Republished with a new preface by noted scholar Mel Watkins and a postscript by the author, Silent Surrender's basic argument and underlying economic analysis remain remarkably fresh, particularly the question of whether cultural integration into continental American life has proceeded to a point where Canada is no longer a meaningful national community.

Download or read book Multinationals in North America written by Lorraine Eden and published by Calgary, Alta. : University of Calgary Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the policy choices and actions of the largest business corporations and the three national governments in North America (Canada, the United States, and Mexico) as they respond to the enormous changes in technology and trade policies that began in the early 1980s and have continued in the 1990s. Multinationals in North America focuses on multinational enterprises (MNEs) and nation states in the context of regional free trade (the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, FTA, and the North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA), and technological change as the underlying technology paradigm shifts from mass production to flexible production. MNEs and nation states are actors faced by change and, at the same time, are agents of change. Contributors examine the strategic options and interactions of MNEs and nation states as they attempt to manage their activities in a globalized economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper also compares foreign subsidiaries to Canadian corporations that have an international orientation. These additional comparisons show that the two groups of multinationals are quite similar, both with regards to the likelihood that they conduct some form of R & D and that they introduce innovations. These results indicate that it is as much the degree of globalization that affects the degree of innovativeness as the nationality of ownership. Overall, the survey results suggest that foreign-owned firms make a significant contribution to technological progress and innovation in Canadian industry.
