Mirroring Canadian Industrial Policy: Strategy Formation at Dominion Textile from 1873 to 1990
|
| Abstract |
The authors track the strategies of what they label a "quintessentially Canadian company," the Montreal-based Dominion Textile Inc., through most of its history, from 1873 to 1990. Created entrepreneurially, but soon consolidated politically, Dominion Textile became the dominant player in the textile manufacturing industry in Canada, faltering bureaucratically before it renewed itself competitively. The authors argue that the company mirrored Canadian industrial policy remarkably closely throughout its life, through the states of "getting there" politically, "staying there" positionally, and "keeping there" competitively. Overall, they conclude, the company was remarkably deliberate in its strategic behaviour, yet that deliberateness exhibited emergent consequences. The company slowly collapsed over the 1990s, and closed in 1998.
