The productivity problem in Canada’s economy is really a marketing and sales problem
Our national “productivity gap” has spurred analyses, reports and media articles for decades. While public debate in Canada has focused on productivity improvement for more than 50 years, we have made limited progress. Fresh thinking is required.
The stark fact is that Canada has the lowest number of manufacturing companies with more than 250 employees per one million in population in the OECD. While progress has been made on some fronts, we lag behind our competitors. Solving Canada’s perennial productivity problem will partially be addressed by creating companies that scale from startup to world-class status.
In addition, the data does not show that patenting is a factor. For example, Canadian software firms that engage in patenting take out more patents per firm and more patents per dollar invested than their U.S. counterparts.
