The Smaller, Independent Manufacturer

12 Quebec Case Studies

By: Amboise, Gérald d',Rob Dainow,Yvon Gasse,Institute for Research on Public Policy

From the back cover: The objective of this book is to provide students in administrative sciences with a number of cases of Quebec manufacturers presenting several aspects of managing the small and medium-sized business. The cases are drawn from four sub-sectors: shoe manufacturers, sporting goods, machine and equipment building and aviation manufacturing. Each case presents a problem that is common to the industrial sector and that must be resolved. A brief expose of each sub-sector is provided in order to familiarize the reader with the realities of the particular industry. In addition to the cases, the book presents four articles that discuss particular preoccupations of the small and medium-sized business.

Entrepreneurship Among Canadian Students

Empirical Study in Relation to the Entrepreneurial Potential

By: Yvon Gasse,Maripier Tremblay,Université Laval. Faculté des sciences de l'administration. Direction de la recherche

A study carried out at Laval University helped to determine the entrepreneurial potential on the campus and, at the same time, provided us with a better understanding of the students' needs and expectations with regard to entrepreneurship. The students were selected randomly from a complete list of the Laval University students. A total of 600 students were interviewed. We attempted to see, through this research, how the students' values, attitudes and behaviour, that is their entrepreneurial potential, could predispose them to founding a company, creating their own job or having the intention to do so. 1 Paper presented at the 2003 INTENT Conference, Grenoble, France, September 8-10, 2003 According to the data, approximately 3.2% of the students are presently involved in starting up a business. Moreover, it would seem that 32.5% of the students have already thought of starting up a business or one day being self-employed. Among these, 43% planned to do so more than five years after their studies, whereas 7.9% intended to do so during their studies. Our research was also aimed at determining the role that Laval University should play in supporting entrepreneurial students. Moreover, the results show that the respondents preferred certain methods for teaching entrepreneurship. Furthermore, the motivations behind wanting to start up a business were the desire to become their own boss (30%), followed by the wish to be self-sufficient and independent (14%). The main obstacle that kept the students from starting up a business or becoming self-employed was above all (45%) a lack of funds.
