Oregon’s Forest Sector Innovation System: An Investigation Towards Advanced Performance

The forest products industry has faced numerous challenges in remaining innovative: outside forces such as industry culture and policy provide few incentives while poor communication among industry actors impedes creative growth from within. This article outlines results gathered from personal interviews with industry professionals and an industry survey on key policies, incentives, organizations, and the condition of Oregon's forest sector innovation system. We conducted this research in order to provide recommendations for an improved forest sector innovation system that can, in turn, increase competitiveness and synergies among forest sector companies, higher education, and other businesses in Oregon.
