Abstract

A 1970 report of the Organization for Economic Corporation and Development indicated that Canada ranked last on a list of about 10 industrialized counties in terms of innovations. This ranking has been used to support frequently held contention that Canada is technologically uninnovative. However, the OECD list had no criteria for the inclusion or exclusion of a particular innovation. The OECD data has areas of difference with other independent measures of innovation. A comparison is made to a related study by Gellman Associates. This latter study shows that the Canadian position is not as poor as indicated by the OECD list.
