How does Canada need to respond to the growing trend of globalization in order to be competitive?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but should include some of these points:
- Canadian business is under pressure to forge international links as there will be less distinction between domestic and foreign enterprises.
- Canada must attract more investment in plants that further process our natural resources. Such
investment will lead to productivity growth, increased competitiveness, and greater employment
opportunities.
- Businesspeople must be willing to invest money in operations outside of Canada.
- Governments must "think globally" when developing programs and policies, and be aware of the trend to globalization and encourage business to react appropriately.
- Canada must increase investment in research institutions and improve government purchasing policies.
