Study: Effect of changing technology use on plant performance in the manufacturing sector , 27.7.04
The Daily, Statistics Canada
According to a new study, manufacturing companies that increase their use of advanced technology during the mid-1990s also experienced greater growth in labour productivity during the same period.
The study also found a significant link between productivity growth and growth in market share. In other words, advanced technology use led to growth in labour productivity, which in turn led to growth in market share.

Over the period studied, plants exchanged substantial amounts of market share as some plants grew and others declined. About 15% of market share in an average four-digit industry was transferred from continuing plants that lost market share to plants that gained market share. At the beginning of the period, plants that subsequently increased their market share were 16% less productive than those about to lose market share; by the end of the period, they had become 17% more productive.[...] Complementary investments in firm competencies were also shown to be important. Firms did particularly well if they stressed a strategy that focussed on the use of advanced technologies.[...] The economic analysis study The Effect of Changing Technology Use on Plant Performance in the Canadian Manufacturing Sector (11F0027MIE2004020, free) is now available online.
