Canadian start-ups : growth and scale-up transitions / May Song, Charles Bérubé.: Iu188-141/2020E-PDF
"This study presents a statistical description of Canadian firm size transitions, in terms of numbers of employees, by examining five cohorts of firm entrants during the period 2002 to 2006. The study found that the vast majority of Canadian firms, around 87 percent, remained within their size category during the observation period without scaling up or scaling down to other size categories. Indubitably, this number might vary according to the chosen size category definition. Regardless of the size category definition, however, 80 percent of firms experienced either no change in their employment figures or variation of plus/minus one to two employees over the observation period. As a result, we looked at various size category definitions without observing significantly different results as most scale ups and scale downs occur in the bottom of the distribution"--Abstract, page 1.
