The term [truncation] was used in the 1972 federal government report, Foreign Direct Investment in Canada. The report said: "Truncated subsidiary operations usually lack the capacity and opportunity over time to develop the full range of activities normally associated with a mature business enterprise." The term describes a branchplant economy, in which subsidiaries are unable to initiate new products or develop new markets, while the country as a whole becomes overly dependent on foreign technology, know-how, and decisions. Too many of the conditions necessary for businesses to pursue their own commercial objectives are absent; they are located in the foreign parent companies.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - truncated%20subsidiary
