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.
