15. The Rise of Hybrid Entrepreneurs: A Cross-Country Empirical Analysis.

Author

Duhamel, Marc and St-Jean, Etienne

Abstract

Recent work on hybrid entrepreneurship is shattering the myth that entrepreneurship is an "all or nothing" career. However, the factors explaining this phenomenon remain ambiguous, and the theories that could explain it are embryonic. We offer a preliminary analysis in testing the concurrent effect between the individual-level explanations as well as the macroeconomic factors. We used the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Adult Population Survey to calculate rates of hybrid entrepreneurs in all of the 103 participating countries from 2011 to 2020. We found a steady rise in hybrid entrepreneurship in this period, suggesting that this phenomenon is growing all over the world. However, we showed that the level of economic development is the main explanatory factor of the phenomenon, illustrating a probable capital-deepening effect with the rise in employment wages.

23. Trends and complementarities in the Canadian automobile industry

Author

Johannes Van Biesebroeck, Chen, Zhiqi, and Duhamel, Marc

Abstract

Three issues have deeply influenced the Canadian automobile industry in the last decades. Proliferation of models and vehicle-types has reduced the average sales per vehicle with important consequences on the manufacturing side. Manufacturers have responded by adopting flexible production technologies in their assembly plants. One of the most important features of the flexible technology is the ability to build different models on the same assembly line. Many firms also reorganized their supply chain. Changes in outsourcing patterns, even sharing research and development with suppliers, and just-in-time inventory management are the most visible exponents of this transformation. These three trends are discussed with an eye to their interrelatedness, the impact on industrial performance, and policy options available to Canada. The importance of each trend independently and their joint impact is evaluated using plant and firm-level data. © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, represented by the Minister of Industry Canada, 2010.
