The Abstract

This book presents an analysis of the evolution of competitive strategies within the forestry industry. Although the discussion takes place in a relatively narrow field of business on the global scale, the argument is that the chosen context serves as an illustrative setting for a discussion related to global corporate evolution of firms since the industry studied has only recently entered a stage of development characterized by intensified global competition.

Acknowledgements

This study of strategy evolution in the paper and pulp industry is a part of a larger project which initially started from Professor Juha Näsi’s idea to study the strategic development paths of the major Finnish companies. So, Juha deserves my warmest gratitude as without his dynamic attitude the project would never have been realized. However, I would assume that neither Juha nor anybody else could have estimated of how the project would emerge and widen to cover various issues in the industry evolution.
