 he North American forest products industry is in the midst of a dynamic period of change. Factors such as the changing resource quality and availability, price volatility, public resource legislation, federal court decisions, changing technologies and new product development, and emerging global markets have contributed to the dynamic nature of this change. The result of these and other factors has been a dramatic change in the nature of competition within the forest products industry. This is true not only in the North American market but also in other major foreign markets. Topics discussed in this proceedings, edited by Dr. Ivan Eastin and Dr. Eric Hansen, include:
- structural changes within the global forestry sector;
- structural changes affecting the forest products industry;
- structural changes in the dynamics of timber supply; and
- strategic responses to structural change within the forest products industry.
These papers were presented during the Industry Focus Session of the 1995 Annual Meeting of the Forest Products Society.
