Innovative activity in Canadian food processing establishments: the importance of engineering practices / by John R. Baldwin and David Sabourin.CS11-0019/101E

The study first focuses on the importance of research and development activity and advanced business practices used by production and engineering departments.

Third, the effect of the nationality of a firm on innovation is investigated. Finally, industry effects are examined.--Page v
