7/30/2019 Final Canadian Aerospace Industry
1/22
1. Introduction
Canada is a North American country consisting often provinces and three territories. There
are several industries in Canada. Under manufacturing industry aerospace and defense is one
of them.
Canadian aerospace and defense, space and defense firms, have built successful businesses
in Canada for domestic and global markets. Canadian priorities encourage investment in
knowledge-based businesses across the industrial spectrum, and a strong focus on innovation.
Canada supports its aerospace and defense, space and defense industries through attractive
investment fundamentals; leading-edge knowledge infrastructure; risk-sharing investments in
technology development; commitment to investing in skills and research; and new business
opportunities.
Aerospace and defense is a vital and growing component of Canada's economy, a leading
employer and contributor to research and development as well as the country's top exporter of
advanced technology. Canada is one of only a handful of nations with a full range of
aerospace and defense design and manufacturing capabilities. Although a number of
companies are subsidiaries of foreign corporations, in many cases they have been assigned -
and capitalized on - mandates to manufacture for the world market. The industry represents
the best in aircraft, electronics, avionics, communications, simulators, space technology,
repair and overhaul, gas turbine engines and engineering.

2. Country Analysis
2.1 Country Profile:
Canada is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories.
Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to
the Pacific Ocean in the west, and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Spanning over 9.9
million square kilometers, Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, and its
common borderwith the United States is the longest land border in the world. Canada is a
federation under a system of parliamentary monarchy. They are ruled by Queen Elizabeth II
of Great Britain, who is represented by the Governor General, a symbolic figure with no real
authority. Executive authority lies with the prime minister, who is generally the leader of the
political party with the greatest number of benches in the House of Commons. The prime
minister in turn names his cabinet positions from the House (Enciso 2007, 104). Canada is
divided into ten provinces: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick,
Newfoundland and Farmer, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Saskatchewan.
There are also three territories: the Northwest, the Yukon, and Nunavut.
Canada covers most of the North American continent with a surface area slightly
greater than that of the United States. Canada shares an 8,893 kilometer border with the same,
extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. Canada covers
41% of North America and has the second most surface area of any country on Earth .It has a
varied topography and is rich in natural resources. Canada has huge reserves of oil and large
quantities of fresh water sixty percent of the worlds lakes are in Canada. The southern part
of the country boasts a robust agricultural sector. At that time most of the population was
French but in the following decades thousands of British colonists immigrated to Canada
from the British Islands and the American colonies. In 1873 a parliamentary federal
government was established under the British crown. Canada was proclaimed an
independent dominion within the British Empire in December of 1931. The British crown
became monarch of Canada. The British parliament granted direct authority to the Canadian
parliament to run day-to-day operations, although important legal decisions were still made
back in the United Kingdom. Canada finally obtained its constitutional autonomy in 1982.

2.2 Macro-environmental Factors:
A macro environmental analysis can be completed alone or in a brainstorming session,
however doing some research before starting.
To simplify the Macro Environment Analysis the following 6 broad heading will provide
some structure, a good start is to list all of the trends you can think of or can find and indicate
whether they will have a positive impact or negative impact on the size of your industry.
2.2.1 Economic Trends:
GDP output in August rose 0.3% following an upwardly revised 0.4% rise in July, originally
reported as up 0.3%. All of the strength in the month was in the goods-producing side of the
economy where activity rose 0.9% following a revised 0.7% gain in July (was 0.4%). These
increases along with a 0.6% rise in June have more than offset the 1.7% drop in goods-
production that occurred in May where various factors including wildfires in Northern
Alberta weighed on the mining sector. Service-producing industries were unchanged in
August though this followed an upwardly revised 0.3% gain in July (0.2% previously). The
strength in goods-producing industries largely reflected a 3.3% jump in mining output. This
in part reflected a 2.6% jump in oil and gas extraction though the mining support component
soared 16.5% in the month reflecting increased drilling activity. Manufacturing fell 0.4% in
the month despite motor vehicle production rising a robust 3.9%. The offset was mainly in
various nondurables.
Components declining in the month including: non-metallic mineral products, wood products,
chemicals and paper products. The latter three components all showed sizeable gains in July.
In terms of the other major goods producing industries, utilities fell 0.8% after a 1.4% jump
in July while construction was up a modest 0.1%. Within-service-producing industries,
financial services managed to rise 0.6%. However, this was offset by sizeable declines inwholesale trade (1.4%) and the arts and entertainment component (1.4%). The former
followed a 1.8% jump in July.
Canadian employment fell by 54,000 in October. The labor force contracted by 13,800 in
October and the unemployment rate rose to 7.3% from 7.1% in September. The October
report showed a decline in employment in the goods producing industries where the number
of employed fell by 51,900. Construction (-20,100) and manufacturing (-48,400) jobs were
3
7/30/2019 Final Canadian Aerospace Industry
4/22
cut in the month. In the services side of the economy, employment dipped by 2,000. All jobs
lost were fulltime with 71,700 positions cut. Part-time employment rose by 17,700. On net,
full-time employment is still up by 198,200 in 2011. The public sector shed 3,800 positions.
Private sector employment reported 32,000 jobs cuts.
Still, the declines over the three month period only reversed 71% of July's 94,500 surge. The
number of self-employed individuals was down by 18,100 following the 38,900 increase in
September. The year-over-year gain in average hourly wages for permanent workers slipped
to 1.3%, a tad slower than September's 1.6% pace and still well below the average 2.3% in
the first half of the year.
2.2.2 Political and Legal Factors
The political-legal dimension of the general environment also affects business activity. The
philosophy of the political parties in power influences business practices. The legal
environment serves to define what organizations can and cannot do at a particular point in
time. The legal environment facing organizations is becoming more complex and affecting
businesses more directly. It has become increasingly difficult for businesses to take action
without encountering a law, regulation, or legal problem. A very brief listing of significant
laws that affect business would include legislation in the areas of consumerism, employee
relations, the environment, and competitive practices. Many of the laws also have an
associated regulatory agency. Powerful U.S. regulatory agencies include the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Estimates of the cost of compliance vary widely, but could well exceed
$100 billion annually. Many of these costs are passed to consumers. However, costs of legal
expenses and settlements may not be incurred for years and are not likely to be paid by
consumers of the product or owners of the company when the violation occurred. Still,
potential legal action often results in higher prices for consumers and a more conservative
attitude by business executives.

2.2.3 Technological Factors:
Technology is another aspect of the environment a firm should consider in developing
strategic plans. Changing technology may affect the demand for a firm's products and
services, its production processes, and raw materials. Technological changes may create new
opportunities for the firm, or threaten the survival of a product, firm, or industry.
Technological innovation continues to move at an increasingly rapid rate. Technology can
change the lifestyle and buying patterns of consumers. Recent developments in the field of
microcomputers have dramatically expanded the potential customer base and created
innumerable opportunities for businesses to engage in business via Internet. Whereas
computers were traditionally used only by large organizations to handle data processingneeds, personal computers are commonly used by smaller firms and individuals for uses not
even imagined fifteen years ago. Similarly, new developments in technology led to a
reduction in prices for computers and expanded the potential market. Lower prices allow
computers to be marketed to the general public rather than to business, scientific, and
professional usersthe initial market.
Technology may also cause certain products to be removed from the market. Asbestos-related
illnesses have severely limited asbestos as a resource used in heat-sensitive products such as
hair dryers. Further, a number of chemicals that have been commonly used by farmers to
control insects or plants are prohibited from use or require licensure as a consequence of
those chemicals appearing in the food chain.
2.3 Goods Are Traded:
Although Canada is heavily involved in international trade, the US is by far its largest and
most important trade partner. In 2009, 75.02 percent of Canadian exports were directed to the
US, while 51.1 percent of imports came from the US.
Bilateral trade between Canada and the US increased by 52 percent between 1989 (when the
US-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) came into effect) and 1994 (when the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was implemented). Although NAFTA
dramatically improved US-Canada trade relations, disputes still remain that pertain to
intellectual property rights, softwood lumber, beef, tomatoes and other agricultural products.

2.4 Country SOWT analysis according to economic condition:
SWOT analysis is a method for analyzing a business, its resources, and its environment.
SWOT is commonly used as part of strategic planning and looks at:
1. Internal strengths
2. Internal weaknesses
3. Opportunities in the external environment
4. Threats in the external environment
6

SWOT can help management in a business discover:
1. What the business does better than the competition
2. What competitors do better than the business
3. Whether the business is making the most of the opportunities available
4. How a business should respond to changes in its external environment

industry comprises more than 400 firms located in every region of the country. Collectively,
these aerospace and defense companies employ more than 80,000 Canadians. Since 1990,
Canadian aerospace and defense industry sales have more than doubled, reaching $23.6
billion in 2008.
In addition, the Canadian aerospace and defense industry is the countrys leading advanced
technology exporter Canada exports more than 80 per cent of its aerospace and defense
output.
Aerospace and defense companies in Canada are global market leaders in regional
commercial helicopters, aircraft, avionics, business jets, aircraft engines, flight
simulation, landing gear, and space systems.

Canadian aerospace and defense firms offer innovative solutions backed by sustained
investment in research and development, and a highly skilled workforce. As a result,
Canadas aerospace and defense industry is robust and dynamic, with a long history of
innovation and success throughout the world.
3.3 Canadas competitiveness:
The evaluation of the aerospace and defense industry in other leading nations is critical in
understanding the current position of the Canadian aerospace and defense industry globally.
Some of the key developed markets in the global aerospace and defense industry are:
i. France;ii. Germany;
iii. US;
iv. UK; and
v. Japan.
There is an additional group of nations that are becoming increasingly relevant. It is
anticipated that many of these developing nations will be heavily supported by their
governments in the hopes of creating a strong domestic aerospace and defense industry.
These countries are:
i. Brazil;
ii. China;
iii. India; and
iv. Russia.
The countries listed above are chosen based on three criteria:
1. Representative mix of the different types of aerospace and defense markets;
2. Global importance of the countrys aerospace and defense industry; and
3. Availability and consistency of relevant industry data.

Canadas aerospace and defense industry plays a critical role in the domestic Canadian
economy. Canadas aerospace and defense industry ranks among the top 10 globally by
almost every measure. For example, Table 17 lists the top 5 countries in terms of revenues
generated from aerospace and defense manufacturing and Table 18 lists the top 5 countries in
terms of aerospace and defense employment.
Once normalized by GDP, Canada ranks second among the top five countries in terms of
aerospace and defense revenue. A similar story is seen in employment once one normalizes
by each countrys population with Canada also ranking second among the top five countries
in terms of aerospace and defense manufacturing employment. This analysis shows thatCanada relies more heavily on the aerospace and defense industry for revenue and
employment than most other countries.
3.4 Comparing among manufacturing industries
There are several industries under manufacturing sector. Aerospace is one of the largest
industries. Comparing to other industry aerospace standing is remarkable, which we can see
in below statistics.

The aerospace and defense industry generates a significant fraction of Canadas total exports
at just under 4% in 2008.
Finally, the importance of Canadas aerospace and defense industry is reflected in Canadas
reputation as a leader in other countries.
3.6 Regional Economic Integration:
Regional Economic Integration: agreements between groups of countries in a geographic
region to reduce, and ultimately remove, tariff and nontariff barriers to the free flow of goods,services, and factors of production between each other. By entering into regional agreements
groups of countries aim to reduce trade barriers more rapidly than can be achieved under the
auspices of the WTO.
The specter of the EU and NAFTA turning into economic fortress that shut out foreign
producers with high tariff barriers is particularly worrisome to those who believe in the value
of unrestricted free trade

3.7 Trade Regulations of Aerospace Industries:
3.7.1 Trade Policy and Economy
Canada's liberal trade regime has facilitated the economy's successful adjustment to a number
of external shocks, and helps explain Canada's good economic performance during the last
several years. However, productivity growth remains relatively slow, compared to other
developed economies. Certain trade barriers still persist in some agricultural activities. In the
second quarter of 2007 gross domestic product grew 3.4%, down from 3.9% in the first
quarter but more than double the average pace of growth in the last three quarters of 2006.
Domestic demand growth remained solid in the second quarter, with 4.3% growth compared
to 2.8% in the previous quarter. Consumer spending, residential investment and business
fixed investment all showed healthy gains. In August, the unemployment rate was 6% - the
lowest level in the past three decades.
3.7.2 Import Controls and Licensing
Most Aerospace goods can enter the Canada market without import restrictions. However,certain commodities are prohibited from importation under the provisions of the Canadian
Customs Tariff regulations, while others are regulated under the Export and Import Permits
Act.
The Export and Import Controls Bureau (TPI) is responsible for administering the Export and
Import Permits Act. The import Controls List comprises textiles and clothing, agricultural
products, steel products and weapons; whereas the Export Controls List contains agricultural
products, refined sugar, peanut butter, textiles and clothing, weapons and nuclear energy
materials and technology, dangerous goods etc.

16/22
3.7.3 Product Standards and Requirements
The National Standards System is the system for developing, promoting, and implementingstandards in Canada and the Aerospace industries maintaining standard in all types of
products to provide best to their customers. If certification of an Aerospace and Defense
product is required, it should be obtained before the goods are imported into Canada.
Additional and requirements may be imposed at the provincial level. The contact point in
Canada concerning product standards and requirements is the Standards Council of Canada.
3.7.4 Marking and Labeling
Country of Origin marking is required on many categories of imported merchandise. Goods
with no proper country of origin indication cannot be released from Customs until they are
suitably marked. Aerospace requires bilingual labeling in English and French for most
products, showing product identity declaration in common generic name, and net quantity
declaration expressed in metric units of weight volume or numerical count, as applicable.
Dealer's name and place of business must also appear on the labels.
3.7.5 Customs Tariff and Tax
Canada adopts the Harmonized System (HS) of the Tariff Schedules. All commercial imports
are subject to customs duty and the goods and services tax (GST) unless exempted. Duties are
assessed on the transaction value (the price actually paid or payable for the goods), including
commission, brokerage, packing, royalties and transportation to the Canada point.
Hong Kong and China origin goods are eligible for the preferential tariffs under the Canadian
General Preferential Tariff Scheme. A provincial sales tax is assessed on all imports to
British Columbia (7.5% of the duty paid value), Manitoba (7%), Prince Edward Island (10%),
Quebec (7.5%) and Saskatchewan (6%). In addition, a broad-based value added sale tax,
known as the goods and services tax is levied at 7%. In the three Atlantic Provinces
(Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia), these taxes were combined to form a
harmonized sales tax at a standard rate of 15% for all goods and services. Excise taxes are
also charged on automobiles, automobile air-conditioners, and some petroleum products.
Under the Special Import Measures Act, the Government imposes countervailing duties onimported goods that cause injury to Canadian industry through subsidies in the country of
16
7/30/2019 Final Canadian Aerospace Industry
17/22
origin and anti-dumping duties on goods at prices that are less than their selling price in the
country of origin.
Recently Canada also the Aerospace industry imposes anti-dumping duties on several imports
from the Chinese mainland including, carbon steel fasteners, laminated flooring, wood slats,
hot rolled carbon steel and high-strength low alloy steel plate, hot rolled carbon and alloy
steel sheet and strip etc.
The Canada Revenue Agency can assist traders to determine the proper tariff classification,
value for duty, origin, and the duty and tax rates that apply, and will provide written rulings
on request.
3.7.6 Documentary Requirements
A complete documentary package should be presented to the Customs when the imported
goods arrive at the country's border. The package includes:
1. Cargo Control Document prepared by the carrier based on the shipper's information;
2. Commercial Invoice indicating the buyer, seller, country of origin, price and detailed
description of the goods with quantity and unit price;
3. Import permits, health certificates and examinations as required by other Federal
government departments: e.g. the Canadian Food Inspection Agency examines and
gives permits for some meat products, and all restricted or controlled drugs require an
import permit from Health Canada; the Department of Foreign Affairs and
International Trade requires import permits for textiles and clothing;
4. Certificates of Origin for claiming lower customs duty rates for goods from USA and
Mexico (under North American Free Trade Agreement), Israel (under Canada-Israel
Free Trade Agreement) or Chile (under Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement) or
Form A Certificate of Origin applies to goods covered by the Generalized System of
Preferences;
5. Bill of Lading to satisfy the direct shipment condition of preferential tariff treatment -
goods must be shipped on a through bill of lading from the country of origin to a
consignee in Canada;
6. Other documents include Insurance Certificate, Packing List, Pre-shipment
Inspection and pro-forma Invoice as requested.
3.7.7 Consumer Protection
17
7/30/2019 Final Canadian Aerospace Industry
18/22
The Federal Hazardous Products Act prohibits certain items as being too dangerous to permit
their usage. These goods cannot be imported, sold, or advertised in Canada. The manner of
selling, advertising, labeling and packaging of a wide range of products likely to be in danger
to the health or safety of the public, including any products or substance that is poisonous,
toxic, flammable, explosive or corrosive is also regulated. These items can be imported, sold
or advertised only as stated under regulations.
3.8 International HRM Policies
With the advent of globalization, organizations - big or small have ceased to be local, they
have become global. This has increased the workforce diversity and cultural sensitivities have
emerged like never before. All this led to the development of Global Human Resource
Management.
Even those organizations who consider themselves immune to transactions across
geographical boundaries are connected to the wider network globally. They are in one way or
the other dependent upon organizations that may even not have heard about. There is
interdependence between organizations in various areas and functions.
The preliminary function of global Human Resource Management is that the organization
carries a local appeal in the host country despite maintaining an international feel. To
exemplify, any multinational / international company would not like to be called as local,
however the same wants a domestic touch in the host country and there lies the challenge.
Enumerate the objectives of global HRM as follows:
1. Create a local appeal without compromising upon the global identity.
2. Generating awareness of cross cultural sensitivities among managers globally and
hiring of staff across geographic boundaries.
3. Training upon cultures and sensitivities of the host country.
The strategic role of Human resources Management in such a scenario is to ensure that HRM
policies are in tandem with and in support of the firms strategy, structure and controls.
18
7/30/2019 Final Canadian Aerospace Industry
19/22
Specifically, when we talk of structures and controls the following become worth mentioning
in the context of Global HRM.
1. Decision Making: There is a certain degree of centralization of operating decision
making. Compare this to the International strategy, the core competencies are
centralized and the rest are decentralized.
2. Co-ordination: A high degree of coordination is required in wake of the cross
cultural sensitivities. There is in addition also a high need for cultural control.
3. Integrating Mechanisms: Many integrating mechanisms operate simultaneously.
Global HRM Policy:
Here also the role is no different hiring individuals with requisite skills to do a particular job.
The challenge here is developing tools to promote a corporate culture that is almost the same
everywhere except that the local sensitivities are taken care of.
Also, the deciding upon the top management or key positions gets very tricky. Whether to
choose a local from the host country for a key position or deploy one from the headquarters
assumes importance; and finally whether or not to have a uniform hiring policy globallyremains a big challenge.
Nevertheless an organization can choose to hire according to any of the staffing policies
mentioned below:
1. Ethnocentric: Here the Key management positions are filled by the parent country
individuals.
2. Polycentric: In polycentric staffing policy the host country nationals manage
subsidiaries whereas the headquarter positions are held by the parent company
nationals.
3. Geocentric: In this staffing policy the best and the most competent individuals hold
key positions irrespective of the nationalities. Geocentric staffing policy it seems is
the best when it comes to Global HRM. The human resources are deployed
productively and it also helps build a strong cultural and informal management
network. The flip side is that human resources become a bit expensive when hired on
a geocentric basis. Besides the national immigration policies may limit
implementation.
19
7/30/2019 Final Canadian Aerospace Industry
20/22
Global HRM therefore is a very challenging front in HRM. If one is able to strike the right
chord in designing structures and controls, the job is half done. Subsidiaries are held together
by global HRM, different subsidiaries can function operate coherently only when it is enabled
by efficient structures and controls.
4. Conclusion
This report provides an overview of the current environment of the global aerospace
and defense industry, as well as provides a profile of the Canadian aerospace and defense
industry and the future trends predicted by Canadian aerospace and defense companies. The
aerospace and defense industry is very capital intensive, and requires substantial research and
development (R&D) activities. In 2009 aerospace and defense companies invested an estimated
total of C$1.9 billion. The R&D component is the largest type of investment, constituting 72.7% of
total investment, with the remaining 27.3% being spent on property, plant, and equipment (PPE).
The Government of Canada has various programs designed to fund aerospace and defense R&D
activities, providing funding for an estimated 33.8% of the total aerospace and defense R&D spend in
Canada in 2009. The majority of survey respondents indicate that this level of governmental funding
is not sufficient when compared to the funding provided to aerospace and defense companies from
foreign governments. This finding is especially pronounced among survey respondents based in
Quebec and B.C., and less so from survey respondents based in Ontario and Manitoba. The role of
government in the aerospace and defense industry is widely recognized as being of strategic
importance. A 2009 study by aerospace and defense consultant, Aero Strategy LLC, suggests that
another developing trend globally, and one with implications for Canada, is the growing collaboration
between aerospace and defense companies and foreign governments to create high value aerospace
and defense clusters within their respective countries.142 This means that global competition faced by
the Canadian aerospace and defense industry will continue to increase due to foreign competitors
collaboration with their own domestic governments.
In addition, survey respondents also indicate that they expect factors such as the generaleconomic recovery, the health of airlines, the price of fuel and technological innovations, and
20
7/30/2019 Final Canadian Aerospace Industry
21/22
the level of military activity worldwide, to drive demand for Canadian aerospace and defense
products and services over the next three years.
Similarly, survey respondents note that factors such as access to low cost global supply
chains, access to qualified labor and capital, increased foreign competition and government
funding will drive the supply of Canadian aerospace and defense products and services over
the next three years.
5. Recommendation
The study discussed about the Canada and its Aerospace Industry based on the information
from different sources. From the information and statistics we have found that Canada has a
large impact on world export import industry.
The recommendation for the Manufacturing Industries of Canada, in concert with other
departments of the Canadian Government, formulate and implement a firm and clear
regulatory and policy framework to ensure the continuity and sustainability of this national
resource, and to increase its impact on Canada's economic, social and strategic well-being.
The products which are harmful in Aerospace industry, those goods cannot be imported, sold,
or advertising in for in Canada, including any products or substance that is poisonous, toxic,
flammable, explosive or corrosive is also regulated by the Govt. These items can be
imported, sold or advertised only as stated under regulations.
The Canadian Industry should increase its efforts to promote the importance of Canadas
Aerospace policy and programs to Canadians, and suggests how this might be done.
The Aerospace Industry polices Canadian Govt. should take to promote
In the freedom of fair and open trade between sovereign nations, In the freedom and open exchange of thoughts and cultural ideas They should increase their efficiency level. The movement of the factors of Industry should be flexible. They should increase their productivity level both for civil and military sector.
21
7/30/2019 Final Canadian Aerospace Industry
22/22
They should increase their supplier channel in other nations so that their products canbe available.
In the freedom of development of scientific knowledge, technical know-how and
intellectual property. In the freedom of development and exchange of information on issues of global
concern, and
In the freedom to democratically elect governments to uphold our Canadian values
