Description
This research investigates the current state of evolution of the Canadian economy by focusing on the development of clusters of the innovative firms that find themselves on the leading edge of change in the country--the rapidly-evolving firms that lead the country in revenue growth rate. The analysis compares the evolving spatial distribution of these 'next wave' firms from 1998-2004 with the distribution of establishment firms, the largest companies in the country, over the same period. A decentralization analysis provides evidence suggesting that some decentralizing forces are at work in the next wave. A regional centre analysis demonstrates that previously-observed next wave activity in Vancouver and Victoria in the year 2002 is not a one-time occurrence, but is part of a larger growth trend in the region over the entire study period. A consistency analysis shows that the Toronto region includes several highly consistent urban hosts of next wave firms, but that cities in the Montreal region are more inconsistent next wave hosts. Finally, a sectoral orientation analysis depicts the centrality of Toronto and Montreal in the functioning of the national economy, while the major regional centre of Calgary experiences its greatest next wave success in sectors that play a minor role in next wave growth nationally.
