Risk Taking: Profit Research

Research Organization Dept: The ambition that leads them to move to a new country tends to predispose immigrants to the kind of risk-taking that leads to innovation, Michelle Downie, the report's author, told News. A study suggests better integrating immigrants will help Canada overcome its poor record on innovation, according to CBC. An earlier report by the Conference Board, an Ottawa-based non-profit research organization, suggested Canada lags behind other advanced economies in innovation, ranking it 14th out of 17 in its capacity to develop new approaches in research and development and immigrants punch above their weight when it comes to increasing the rate of innovation in Canada, the Conference Board of Canada said in a report released Friday. "They tend to be very driven and they want to exceed their own expectations, so they're always pursuing more and trying to work harder." As reported in the news.
