Abstract
AbstractThe technology adoption rate of Canadian manufacturers has been a subject of concern as it impacts on Canada's productivity and international competitiveness. This article builds on previous studies of upper echelons theory and examines the linkage between CEO characteristics and technological innovativeness in the Canadian context. Results show the linkage to be highly significant and lend support to the upper echelons theory. Implications for education, managerial practices, and public policies are discussed.RésuméLa vitesse avec laquelle les industriels canadiens adoptent une nouvelle technologie a un impact important sur la productivité au Canada et sur sa compétitiv‐ité à l'étranger. Le présent article, basé sur des études antérieures relatives à la Théorie des échelons supérieurs, analyse le lien existant entre le profit des PDG et l'innovation technologique au Canada. Les résultats montrent que ce lien est extrěmement important et appuient la Théorie des échelons supérieurs. L'article traite aussi des incidences de Vadoption, de la technologie sur Veducation, l'administration et la politique.
