About the Book
Foreign investment has played an important role in Canadian economic development. Foreign investment also poses some important political challenges to host country governments. The studies in this volume examine the effect of foreign direct investment on the innovative capabilities of host countries with emphasis on the Canadian experience. These studies also assess the merits of public policies designed to increase the innovative activity of foreign firms in host countries.
