  • Facing the Facts: Reconsidering Business Innovation Policy in Canada Peter Nicholson
    IRPP INSIGHT October 2018 | No. 22 Facing the Facts: Reconsidering Business Innovation Policy in Canada Peter Nicholson IN BRIEF The federal government’s main strategy to sustain economic prosperity in coming years is through innovation. Yet for decades, successive governments have attempted to pro- mote business innovation and failed. Indeed, Canadian businesses have managed to be successful despite their poor innovation performance. This time may be different. Global- ization, technology, sustainability concerns and population aging will inevitably impose a shift to innovation as a core business strategy. Hence the need for an ambitious and comprehensive innovation policy to help promote economic growth. For this strategy to succeed, however, will require nothing less than a whole-of-government approach and a recognition that business is the primary vector of innovation in the economy. EN BREF En matière de prospérité économique, la principale stratégie fédérale des prochaines an- nées se résume en un mot : innovation. Même si plusieurs gouvernements des dernières décennies ont aussi misé sur cette stratégie, elle n’a pas connu le succès escompté. Obte- nant de bons résultats malgré leur déficit d’innovation, les entreprises n’étaient pas pous- sées à se réinventer. Mais la donne a changé. De la mondialisation aux transformations technologiques en passant par le développement durable et le vieillissement démogra- phique, une série d’enjeux contraignent désormais les entreprises à innover pour demeu- rer compétitives. D’où la nécessité d’une politique d’innovation ambitieuse qui favorise la croissance de l’ensemble de l’économie. Pour en assurer l’efficacité, il faudra toutefois adopter une approche pangouvernementale et reconnaître que l’entreprise est le tout premier vecteur d’innovation au sein de l’économie.

This year new disclosure requirements under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) broadened the range of corporations required to provide disclosure regarding women in leadership positions and added new requirements for disclosure regarding visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples and persons with disabilities. Our sixth annual comprehensive report on diversity disclosure practices now covers disclosure by TSX-listed companies and CBCA corporations subject to disclosure requirements. We continue to provide detailed disclosure on TSX-listed companies to provide year-over-year comparisons. However, we now include new chapters summarizing the results of our review of CBCA company disclosure.

  • Big Potential, Small Reward? Business Class Immigration to Canada
    HIEBERT, Daniel (2008), “Big potential, small reward? Business Class immigration to Canada”, in OLIVEIRA, Catarina Reis and RATH, Jan (eds.), Migrações Journal - Special Issue on Immigrant Entrepreneurship, October 2008, n. 3, Lisbon: ACIDI, pp. 31-47 Big potential, small reward? Business Class immigration to Canada Daniel Hiebert* Abstract The Canadian system of admitting Business Class immigrants is considered within the broader context of Canadian immigra- tion policy. The basic assumptions of the programme are pre- sented and evaluated. The level of economic participation and success of Business Class immigrants is compared with that of other groups admitted into Canada. Available data suggest that Business Class immigrants fare poorly in Canada’s labour market and do not make a substantial entrepreneurial contri- bution. The reasons for this apparent failure are discussed, and I argue that the Business Class immigration programme is ba- sed on flawed assumptions. Keywords Canada, immigration policy, business immigration, immigrant entrepreneurship, economic integration. * University of British Columbia, Co-Director, Metropolis British Columbia. Migrações _ #3 _ October 2008 31 Big potential, small reward? Business Class immigration to Canada Daniel Hiebert Introduction Canada has experimented, for nearly four decades, with a variety of programmes designed to attract entrepreneurially-inclined immigrants. These programmes are predicated on several critical assumptions: that a person who has been suc- cessful at entrepreneurship is likely to repeat that success; that business strate- gies that work in another country can also work in Canada (‘business is business’, regardless of the national context); and that people who apply to these program- mes do so in good faith and actually intend to establish businesses in Canada (that is, rather than applying to the Business Class programme as an easy way of gaining admission to Canada).

It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date Da (5/*K DE-6 (2/88) Abstract In research on immigrant enterprise, scholars argue that entrepreneurs mobilize informal support and resources from ethnic affiliations to overcome barriers associated with their immigrant or 'racial' status. The presumed relationship between ethnicity and entrepreneurship is relatively straight forward: immigrant entrepreneurs facing cultural or economic barriers use ethnic resources to propel their economic strategies. This assumption is brought under scrutiny in a study of Chinese Canadian immigrant entrepreneurs in Vancouver, Canada who arrived after 1967, many of whom are skilled professionals, affluent investors, and experienced entrepreneurs. Some have formed corporate ethnic enterprises and many maintain extensive social and commercial ties abroad.

  • Reawakening Canada's China Policy
    GILLEY REAWAKENING CANADA’S CHINA POLICY 121 BRUCE GILLEY* INTRODUCTION It is an exciting time to be talking about Canada’s policy towards China. But for the first time the reason lies less in the dramatic changes occurring in China itself, which continue, but rather in the fresh thinking about China going on here in Canada. We are in one of those periods in which old alignments and assumptions are being questioned and new ones put onto the table. This rethink is being driven partly by global factors. China’s rise to greater diplomatic and economic pre-eminence, for example, is forcing Western nations to ask how they might respond to that rise in a useful fashion. American policy towards China, meanwhile, has reverted to more realist underpinnings since the terrorist attacks of September 2001, forcing other nations to take the lead on certain aspects of the China issue. At the same time, there are distinctive domestic reasons that have turned those necessary conditions into sufficient ones. The ferment is of course linked to the election of a new Conservative government in 2006, with explicit promises to change our approach to China. But this is not a partisan issue: members of parliament from all parties,1 as well as public opinion polls, have long shown a broad concern with the drift in our China policy. Rather, what is happening is a democratization of our China policy that reflects a more general democratization of our foreign policy (McCormick 2006). For the first time, the mandarins of Canada’s China policy – Sinologists, business interests, “old friends of China,” and steady-as-she-goes bureaucrats – are being challenged by citizen-barbarians at the gates.

Entrepreneurship and Small Business, Vol. 27, Nos. 2/3, 2016 Women entrepreneurs in Northern Canada: contexts and challenges Barbara Orser* and Allan Riding University of Ottawa Telfer School of Management, 55 Laurier Ave., E, Ottawa, ON, K1N 6N5, Canada Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract: Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, Canada’s three Northern territories, are characterised as the most northerly permanently inhabited regions in the world, and the least populous regions of Canada. It is not yet clear, what if any gender-related issues stymie the growth of female-owned Northern Canadian enterprises. This study presents a perspective on the contexts of, and challenges facing, female entrepreneurs in Northern Canada. To inform this work, the study draws on previous research, analyses of survey data, and interviews with 11 key informants conversant with entrepreneurship in Northern Canada. Findings are used to advance questions for future research about women’s Indigenous (in the Canadian context, Aboriginal) and non-Indigenous (non-Aboriginal) entrepreneurship in Northern Canada. Keywords: women; female; gender; entrepreneurship; Indigenous; Aboriginal; small business; business owners; SMEs; Canada; Inuit; Yukon; Northwest Territories; NWT.
