Why Canadian Companies Often Lack Success Globally

Business journalist Andrea Mandel-Campbell is the author of "Why Mexicans Don't Drink Molson". She believes that Canadian businesses are being left in the dust by savvy global competitors. The title of the book reinforces her argument; that although Canada makes some of the best beer in the world, we don't have a brand-name beer that's known internationally. Are Canadians too timorous or purely lacking ambition? She argues that some Canadian businesses that have succeeded in the global market, often have immigrant founders.
