“…We selectively focused on key challenges and opportunities, and possible actions. Under our four suggested main pathways (and eventually beyond), further elements not covered in this paper could be important, for instance looking into the importance of innovation policies (Weiss et al, 2021) or participatory policy approaches specifically for public forestlands (Buchy and Hoverman, 2000;Maier et al, 2014). Moreover, our four introduced pathways are not mutually exclusive, but often complementary parts of a larger policy framework.…”

“…Forests, and their management and products, can significantly contribute to climate change mitigation as carbon sinks, including substitution effects (Lindner et al, 2017;Ludvig et al, 2021, Brunet et al, 2021. Although carbon sequestration in forests can be more (cost-)effective outside of Europe, e.g.…”

“…European forests are also a significant carbon sink, especially when wood products and substitution effects are included (Ludvig et al, 2021). They store annually around 9 percent of the EU's Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Janssens et al, 2003: Lindner et al, 2017, albeit possibly with a declining trend (Nabuurs et al, 2013), Knoke et al, 2021).…”

“…Therefore, it is interesting to examine the Neo-Schumpeter view of the optimistic bias regarding the relationship between technology, economy, and society. The focus is also on the technology's ability to ensure strong economic growth and social well-being (Weiss et al, 2021;Callegari & Nybakk, 2022). These strengths of Schumpeter's entrepreneurship contribute to changing the post-crisis environment.…”

The digitalization technology transformation of entrepreneurship has positive impacts but also increases inequality and disrupts the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This study aimed to examine the impact of digitalization technology transformation on rural entrepreneurship and explain its mitigation efforts using exploratory sequential mixed methods. The policy acceptance model method was used to reduce uncertainty in analyzing entrepreneurial behavior patterns. Data were collected using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews equipped with ethnographic observations. The results showed that the digitalization technology transformation of rural entrepreneurship supports various new potentials. These include decent work opportunities, family entrepreneurship, and local economic growth. However, the technology increases inequality and the fear of traditional markets that could disrupt achieving other sustainable development goals (SDGs). This inequality and the risk of uncertainty could be mitigated by the social solidarity economic transformation business model based on the potential of local humanist wisdom. Therefore, this study could provide scientific information and implications for social and institutional policies. It could also contribute to the literature on new institutional and social entrepreneurship innovation theories related to the wave of Kontratieff Schumpeter.

“…To develop a framework to support innovation, a deeper understanding of existing innovation activities, and the reasons behind the lack of them, is needed. However, innovation research linked to the forest sector usually lacks more advanced experimental designs and quantitative methods [4]. Another limitation is that more than 90% of this sector is comprised of enterprises with less than ten employees, i.e., micro-enterprises, which are usually excluded from official business surveys, such as the Community Innovation Survey (CIS).…”

Underrated Innovativeness of Micro-Enterprises Compared to Small to Medium Enterprises in the Slovenian Forest-Wood Sector

Although micro-enterprises represent most of the enterprises across different sectors, they are excluded from official statistics on innovation activities. What we know about micro-enterprises is based on smaller quantitative and qualitative studies that are country- and sector-specific. To understand the innovation activities of Slovenian enterprises in the forest-wood sector, we conducted our own quantitative study in 2019 based on the Eurostat’s Community Innovation Survey (CIS) questionnaire. Based on responses from 294 enterprises, we compare how micro-enterprises and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) differ in innovation strategies, product, and process innovations, co-operation with other organisations, innovation activities, and innovations with environmental benefits. The results indicate that, in some respects, enterprises with two to nine employees are at least as innovative as small to medium enterprises, or even more so. We argue that innovation surveys should lower the employee count threshold to attain better representative insight into the innovation landscape.
