What are the core characteristics of high-growth technology firms in Canada? What international business practices are linked to growth? A new report published by the Lazaridis Institute for the Management of Technology Enterprises at Wilfrid Laurier University, Grow Global: Key Performance Drivers of Canadian Technology Firms, examines these questions and identifies a range of factors linked to the success and growth of Canadian tech firms.

  • Using a cooperation- and reputation-based commercialization strategy that integrates new ideas into an established value chain.
