Book excerpt: Published in 1984, How Ottawa Decides is an insider's view of how Ottawa tried throughout the 1970s to establish priorities and act on them. The book anatomizes the politics of the bureaucracy and the Cabinet, showing how power really operated in Ottawa during this period.

Book Synopsis Planning and the Economy by : Hugh Thorburn
Download or read book Planning and the Economy written by Hugh Thorburn and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since World War II, the way economic policy has been formed both in Canada and abroad has changed radically. This book shows that the course taken in Canada has much to do with the crisis in the Canadian economy in the post-war period. Thornburn examines the response of other Western nations to the changing economic order of the postwar world, and then turns to an analysis of Canadian economic policy-making at the federal level and in all ten provinces. Thorburn points to the need for a central planning agency to correct the drift in Canada's economic policy. First published in 1984, Planning and the Economy is a strongly argued entry into the vital debates over Canadian political and economic policy in the early 1980s.
Book Synopsis The Great Economic Debate by : Cy Gonick
Download or read book The Great Economic Debate written by Cy Gonick and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Great Economic Debate, Cy Gonick shows how economic theories work--and how they don't work. As economists argue in circles, the closed nature of the Great Economic Debate puts Canada's future in peril. Building on his provocative analysis of the strengths and flaws of classic economic theories, the author takes a fresh, wide-ranging look at the Canadian malaise. Canada's future lies not in the ornate models of conservatives, post-Keynesians or social democrats, Gonick says, but in a rejuvenation of democracy in the community and in the workplace. Eschewing traditional economic theories, The Great Economic Debate expresses Cy Gonick's unique vision of economic recovery, strengthening his reputation as one of Canada's most insightful political economists.
Book Synopsis The Other Macdonald Report by : Daniel Drache
Download or read book The Other Macdonald Report written by Daniel Drache and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1982 the Macdonald Commission began its $20-million mission to find a consensus on Canada's future. The commission held hearings in 28 towns and cities, met with 700 concerned parties and assembled nearly 40,000 pages of testimony. In his Report, Commission chair Donald S. Macdonald announced Canada must make a "leap of faith" and embrace free trade with the U.S., apparently signalling the victory of a globalizing, corporate vision of the country's development. The Other Macdonald Report reopens the debate, presenting twenty key submissions to the Commission by organizations such as the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, the United Auto Workers, the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, the Canadian Mental Health Association and the National Farmers Union. Together these groups offer a vision of Canada where human needs take priority over capital and technology. The Other Macdonald Report offers alternatives to the corporate vision for Canada's future, alternatives forged during the vibrant free trade debates of the mid-1980s.
Book Synopsis A History of Canadian Economic Thought by : Robin Neill
Download or read book A History of Canadian Economic Thought written by Robin Neill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1991-06-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A History of Canadian Economic Thought, Robin Neill relates the evolution of economic theory in Canada to the particular geographical and political features of the country. Whilst there were distinctively Canadian economic discourses in nineteenth-century Ontario and early twentieth-century Quebec, Neill argues that these have now been absorbed into the broader North American mainstream. He also examines the nature and importance of the staple theory controversy and its appositeness for the Canadian case. With full accounts of the work of major Canadian economists including John Rae, H.A. Innis and Harry Johnson, A History of Canadian Economic Thought is the first definitive treatment of the subject for 30 years.
Book Synopsis The Development of High Technology Industries by : Michael J Breheny
Download or read book The Development of High Technology Industries written by Michael J Breheny and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, originally published in 1988, reviews the development of high technology industries at global and selected national and local levels, providing a unique insight into reasons for and consequences of such modern industrial development. It appraises government policies for assisting the development of this sector and focuses on the fact that high tech industry tends to be concentrated in particular regions of countries which attain the status of 'successful populations'. High technology industry seems to offer little benefit to declining manufacturing areas and the book offers explanations for these regional concentrations and assesses the likely consequences.
Book Synopsis Targeting High-growth Industry by : Roy Edwin George
Download or read book Targeting High-growth Industry written by Roy Edwin George and published by IRPP. This book was released on 1983 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the back cover: The question of an industrial strategy for Canada has had a prominent place in Canadian debate for many years. Most recently, there have been several advocates for adoption in Canada of a strategy of "picking winners". This means identifying and providing government support to industries with a high growth potential. As a corollary, it means not providing support to industries deemed to be "non-winners"....Professor George has approached the question by undertaking an examination of Canadian experience to date along with an examination of the experiences several other countries have had with a strategy of targetting high-growth industries. He brings to light information Canadian policy makers should take into account if they contemplate adopting such a strategy for Canada.
Book Synopsis Trade, Industrial Policy, and International Competition, Second Edition by : Richard G. Harris
Download or read book Trade, Industrial Policy, and International Competition, Second Edition written by Richard G. Harris and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Harris’s now classic study on trade and industrial policy was written for the Royal Commission on the Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada (also known as the Macdonald Commission). First published in 1985 when the Canadian economy faced dramatic changes arising from the emergence of manufacturing competitors among newly industrialized nations and increased protectionism in the US, its recommendations were instrumental in the negotiation of the North America Free Trade Agreement. Addressing the key issues surrounding the design and choice of policies for the Canadian economy, Trade, Industrial Policy, and International Competition reviews the theory and evidence concerning trade liberalization as a mechanism to enhance economic growth, disinvestment in sections that are disadvantageous in the international marketplace, and future problems for the marketing sector caused by increasing competition from developing countries. Drawing from many streams of conventional economic thinking, Harris develops an original and sophisticated model for assessing the broader economic impacts of trade liberalization on the Canadian economy. He concludes that free trade and industrial policy should be regarded as complementary, not substitutes for one another, and recommends a free trade agreement with the United States as a top priority. A new introduction by David Wolfe situates this work within its time and shows how Harris’s analytical insights and policy prescriptions are as relevant today as they when they were originally crafted three decades ago.

Providing an essential background to developments in industrial geography, this title will be valuable to students with an interest in the economics, characteristics and advancement of industrial change.
Book Synopsis Innovation and Knowledge Creation in an Open Economy by : John R. Baldwin
Download or read book Innovation and Knowledge Creation in an Open Economy written by John R. Baldwin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-07-03 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of innovation - its intensity, the sources used for knowledge creation, and its impacts - is based on a comprehensive survey of innovation of Canadian manufacturing firms. Attention is paid to the different actors in the system, who both compete with and complement one another. The study investigates how innovation regimes differ across size of firm and across industries. Owing to the high degree of foreign investment in Canada, special attention is paid to the performance of foreign-owned firms. The innovation regime of Canadian innovators is compared with results of studies of other industrialized countries. The picture of a typical innovator is a firm that combines internal resources and external contacts to develop a set of complementary strategies. The study finds that innovating firms depend not only on R&D, but also on ideas and technology from various other sources, both internal and external to the firm.

Book Synopsis Managing the Multinational Subsidiary by : Hamid Etemad
Download or read book Managing the Multinational Subsidiary written by Hamid Etemad and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1986, is concerned with the changing world environment for multinational business and the relationships between multinational parent companies and their subsidiaries which will be necessary to meet the challenges that are being faced. The study argues that key changes to the environment are: the revolution in manufacturing which has permitted cheap production in one location of complicated products for a world market; ‘world product mandating’, whereby all a company’s country subsidiaries produce different product lines for the world market; pressure and incentives from host governments for technology transfer in their favour and for research and development facilities within their territory; the growth of highly efficient international trading and distribution intermediaries; and the complications of increased ‘barter’ trade arising from international debt problems and currency shortages. All this means that the management of multinational subsidiaries has to change. This book reviews the challenges and shows a way forward.
