The effects of funding on the provision of educational services in Western Canada, 1976-1987Glegg, Alastair Robertson Lindsay 15 June 2018 (has links)
While considerable attention has been paid to the supposed qualitative outcomes of changes in level of financial support for public school education, comparatively little is known about the effects of funding changes on the provision of educational services. An examination of the levels of government expenditure on education in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba from 1976 to 1987 reveals a strong relationship between the state of the provincial economy and levels of financial support. During this period funding levels increased and decreased in all the provinces, with British Columbia experiencing the largest and most frequent fluctuations. Indices were developed for this study to measure the changes in levels of educational services provided. These changes were found to be closely associated with funding levels.
Analysis of data obtained from a sample of 20 British Columbia school districts revealed a similar pattern at the district level. In addition, the mix of services was studied, and significant changes were evident in the percentage of teachers employed in instructional as opposed to administrative and support positions. These changes were associated with changes in levels of financial support.
Certain characteristics of school districts were identified as having the potential to explain different responses to funding changes. Regression analysis was used to test the resulting hypotheses, and produced largely inconclusive results.
This study concludes that although the level and mix of educational services provided in western Canada varied as funding levels increased and decreased over the period studied, in the main school systems proved sufficiently resilient to maintain or even to increase the levels of service they ordinarily provided without dramatically altering the mix of instructional and support staff. / Graduate

First Nations popular music in Canada : identity, politics and musical meaningScales, Christopher Alton 05 1900 (has links)
In this thesis, First Nations popular music is examined as a polysemic
sign (or symbolic form) whose meaning is mediated both socially and politically.
Native popular music is a locus for the action of different social forces which
interact in negotiating the nature and the meaning of the music. Music is
socially meaningful in that it provides a means by which people construct and
recognize social and cultural identities. As such, First Nations popular music
functions as an emblem of symbolic differentiation between Canadian natives
and non-natives.
Native pop music plays host to a number of political meanings embedded
in this syncretic musical form. Struggle over meaning is mediated within the
music itself: in the lyrics, in the music, in the juxtaposition of musical styles,
and between music and text. Mediation on all of these levels is further
influenced by the mass media. Meaning on individual, local and national levels
is dependent on the socio-political positioning of both the performers and the
audience. Because socio-political positions are themselves fluid, political
meanings are also in constant flux. As a polysemic sign vehicle, First Nations
popular music is a locus for these various meanings and a site for the
construction and deconstruction of political discourse. / Arts, Faculty of / Music, School of / Graduate

Information technology linkage in the Canadian ForcesHartung, Sharon Irene 11 1900 (has links)
This is a case study of Linkage, and the factors that influence the social dimension of
Linkage, as found in the Canadian Forces at the base, or business unit, level. In the course of this
study, eight Canadian Forces bases or units were examined to assess their current state of Linkage
with regard to Information Technology (IT) Management.
The Department of National Defence is a public service organization responsible for the
defence of Canada. Like many large organizations today, the Canadian Forces (CF), is faced
with budget cuts, and needs to downsize. There is an awareness within the CF that effective use
of IT is one way to improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness in a time of cutbacks.
The traditional infrastructure of the CF has not kept pace with IT developments in
functional areas, such as within its own Administration Branch. An information handling crisis
is being faced by all Administration Branch personnel, and this situation is mirrored across other
branches of the CF. In the course of this study of the business unit level of the CF, it was
determined that Short and Long Term Linkage was influenced by Communication and Shared
Domain Knowledge factors. Research results also indicated that Success in IT Implementation
did not influence Linkage. Several other contributing factors were also identified, and a
Canadian Forces Information Technology Management Partnership System was proposed to
overcome these Linkage barriers.
The importance of effective management of IT cannot be underestimated. If effective
consideration of IT is made a part of the business planning process, Management Information
Systems (MIS) practitioners will allow businesses, including militaries, to extract the full benefit
and advantage from modern technological developments and procedures. Such is the goal of
MIS, and of this work. / Business, Sauder School of / Management Information Systems, Division of / Graduate

Canadian firms in China: home and host country factorsWang, Baoling 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis examines Canadian FDI (foreign direct investment) in China from 1978 to 2006 in the context of globalization and with a focus on the challenges faced by Canadian firms when doing business in China. Building on John Dunning's 'eclectic model' of FDI and Kobrin’s ‘bargaining’ approach, this study explores the relative importance of home country (Canadian) and host country (Chinese) factors in explaining outcomes for Canadian firms in China in the mining, manufacturing and service sectors.
Using interview data collected from Canadian high-level management personnel working in these sectors during 2005 the study argues that it has been largely the host country factors that have been at work in causing difficulties for Canadian companies in China. These include issues such as Chinese government regulations and institutions, cultural differences between Canada and China, as well as market and business environment impediments in China. On the other hand, home country factors, particularly the small size of Canadian firms in China, have also played an important part in affecting the operations of Canadian firms there.
The empirical analysis of the mining, manufacturing and service sectors revealed that Canadian firms in China are not a homogenous group and their experience and challenges can only be understood in the context of the particular sector that they are engaged in. In particular, Canadian firms in the mining sector have been more subject to pressures from the Chinese state, while firms in the manufacturing sector have been subject more to factors surrounding the Chinese market and business environment. Firms in the service sector have fallen in between, and have been subject to both factors such as state regulation and local market and business conditions. The survey analysis of some Canadian successful firms in China also suggests that the fate of Canadian firms does not hinge solely on cultural dynamics associated with either home or host country or regulatory issues, but also on the very real efforts that individual companies make to understand local conditions, and to become accustomed and to prosper in China. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate
