The feature article of the May issue, highlights the relationship between growth and profitability for Canadian businesses from 2001 to 2007. It is shown that profitability (measured by the return on assets) is a better predictor of high performance (high profits and high growth) than growth in the number of employees, revenues or assets. Articles on job creation, self-employment, business insolvencies, SME sales risk, and immigrant entrepreneurs and the importance of exporting are also included.
