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


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


7/22

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.

11


12/22

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.

Figure: Aerospace business comparison

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


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


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


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


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


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


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
