Climate for entrepreneurs : a comparative study / by Dr. I.A. Litvak and Dr. C.J. Maule, Department of Economics, Carleton University.: C54-1/20-1974E-PDF

"The scope of this study is to provide empirical data about the characteristics of successful Canadian technical entrepreneurs, about the characteristics of their firms, and about their perception of the environment for entrepreneurship in Canada. A unique feature of this study is that the Canadian data is collected and analysed on a regional basis -- Ontario, Quebec, Prairies, British Columbia and Maritimes. The population examined in this study consists of 112 entrepreneurs involved in the establishment of one or more technologically-based enterprises in the secondary manufacturing sector. Most of these enterprises are small, with a present annual sales volume of less than $1 million. Special emphasis is given to comparing Canadian born with non-Canadian born entrepreneurs"--Scope and objectives.
