This book was released on 2001 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study reviews the importance of the manufacturing sector to the Canadian economy. 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 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: 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.
Download or read book Canadian Manufacturing Volume I written by Zohar, Uri and published by Lorimer. This book was released on 1982-01-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What were the causes of the decline in productivity in Canadian manufacturing in the post-World War Two period, and how could it best be addressed? Professor Zohar's analysis examines the productivity of labour and capital in nineteen industry groups--from food and beverage products to chemical industries--that constituted the contemporary Canadian manufacturing sector. He quantifies various factors contributing to productivity and compares each industry group against an average benchmark for the entire sector. The results inform his discussion of industrial strategy. Canadian Manufacturing is a precise, analytical examination of important aspects of the Canadian economy at a crucial period in national development.

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. The paper presents a model that examines the effect of innovation on plant performance and plant survival. It uses a unique data set that allows us to develop a detailed time profile of plant performance both before and after the introduction of an innovation. We find strong evidence that labour productivity growth is faster and survival rates higher after the introduction of a process innovation. Process innovation is also linked to gain in market shares through its effect on productivity growth. In contrast, product innovation appears to have little impact on plant performance and a negative impact on plant survival. We find that R&D, technology competencies and past innovation are linked to higher rates of innovation. Previous nnovation experience is linked to innovation but previous growth is not.

Book excerpt: "This paper examines the challenges that the manufacturing sector has faced over the last half century--focusing on both long- and short-term performance. It first examines whether there is evidence that this sector is in long-term decline. The paper also investigates how the industry has responded to specific shocks during this period--from exchange-rate movements, trade liberalization and business cycles."--Document.

Book excerpt: "This paper is designed to examine the past performance and potential of manufacturing within the Canadian economy, the manner in which governments have influenced industrial development, alternative policies which could be brought to bear to strengthen the capability of manufacturing and the economy. Specifically, this paper looks at the postwar record of production, employment and foreign trade in terms of their own evolution and in relation to the economy as a whole. It compares Canadian results with those of other industrialized countries"--Object, page 5.

Book excerpt: From the Preface: The Symposium reviewed the major developments that have marked the growth of Canadian manufacturing industries in the 1960s and considered the key issues likely to affect the important sector in the 1970s. The members of the Symposium concurred that the performance of Canadian manufacturing would have an important influence on Canada's over-all economic development in the decade ahead. Attention was directed particularly to certain basic questions concerning an industrial strategy for Canada, and to a wide range of factors that may affect the growth and competitive position of Canadian manufacturing. In a broad perspective, the effect of international developments, particularly those in the United States, on Canadian manufacturing, were assessed.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the relationship between productivity of a manufacturing plant and its participation in exporting activities. There are 2 possible explanations for a positive relationship between the two. First, higher productivity and higher efficiency may be required if plants are to enter export markets. Second, by exporting, plants may learn of superior technologies and management techniques and increase their productivity. The paper examines both possibilities. It also examines differences in the effect of exporting on productivity between foreign- and domestic-controlled plants, and between young and older plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The waning of the commodity boom places renewed emphasis on manufacturing as an engine for Canadian growth. However, Canadian manufacturing exports have been relatively stagnant since 2000. While the exchange rate depreciation over the past two years has energized export growth, the response has not been as strong as would have been expected given the size of the depreciation. More fundamental issues appear to be impeding the growth of the Canadian manufacturing sector. This study analyzes the structural factors behind export competitiveness by using unique Canadian data on exports, which are disaggregated both by province and by product. Matching exports to similarly disaggregated data on R&D, the capital stock and other supply-side variables, we find that these variables significantly affect export growth, beyond the impact of the exchange rate. In particular, investment in R&D, capital infrastructure and vocational training improves innovation and production capacity. These results are robust to a factor-augmented approach that controls for multicollinearity.
