“…They identify a new basis for competing or discover better ways to compete in existing ways. Innovation can prefer the form of a new product design, a new manufacturing technique, a new marketing strategy, or a new training method (Hanna et al, 2017). Companies must envision the future environment and new technological advances to remain competitive.…”

Businesses have been dynamically and quickly changing for centuries, largely due to technological improvements. Around the world, intelligent, digital, and integrated representations of technology are proliferating (Panetta, 2018). The Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual human-machine interfaces, and artificial intelligence are examples of cutting-edge business technologies that have substantial growth potential (Brynjolfsson, Hui, and Liu, 2019; Briggs and Buchholz, 2019). However, if a firm is not digitally structured and transformed for this purpose, it will be difficult for technology-driven growth to have the most impact on enterprises. To increase productivity and efficiency, digital transformation requires integrating information, infrastructure, processes, and people with digital aspects and procedures. An excellent example of digital transformation may be seen in the situations of LEGO and Starbucks. After reorganizing and going digital, LEGO climbed the value chain due to this new revenue stream from movies, mobile games, and mobile applications. Starbucks put a premium on customers’ loyalty to create a digitalized customer experience. By offering a simple and convenient purchasing experience, the mobile order and pay app became their main digital transformation objective (Anthony et al, 2020). In essence, digital transformation enabled new economic value exchange and competitive advantage for organizations like Starbucks and LEGO (Walsh, 2017). These and many other digital transformation stories transpire macro or national-level spillovers, with the government of the day being the driving force.

International competition, particularly in the forest products industry, is constantly increasing; even the largest companies have had to adapt to keep their market share. A successful strategy, for enterprises to remain competitive, is to establish collaborations with other business entities in order to access new markets and satisfy customer demand. The goal of this paper is to investigate the relevance of collaboration in the forest products industry via a systematic literature review method and explore the proposed collaboration mechanisms, main drivers, benefits, facilitators, and challenges of collaboration. A total of 70 articles were reviewed and results demonstrate the importance of collaboration in the forest products industry. Joint practices and contractual and economic practices are among the most popular collaboration mechanisms identified. Furthermore, lack of trust and developing a win-win collaboration condition seem to be the key challenges in this industry. On the other hand, cost based strategy, sustainability and environmental performance, and competition are among the principal drivers and benefits faced by the sector. Finally, financial incentives, bonuses and subsidies are the most important facilitators. A framework for inter-firm collaboration in the forest products supply chain is proposed in order to help firms identify the best-fit collaborative mechanisms for their particular collaborative initiative.

“…The relationship of forest and the changing climate is under good attention of the researchers not in recent years, but over the last many decades (Castanho et al, 2020;Hanna et al, 2017;Hayter, 2003;Hou et al, 2017;MacKinnon et al, 2020;Mishra, 2015). The research studies for the relationship between climate change and forests have explained their dual association to each other.…”

To get the meaningful results against the increasing challenges of the nature and climate, more focus is required towards sustainability in multiple dimensions. This study examines the six dimensions of forestry on four measures of climate change. The time duration of this study has considered the five decades; 1970-2018 on annual basis. Overall results are presented under descriptive results, whereas findings for the individual coefficients are presented. It is observed that There is a negative impact of agriculture, forestry, and fishing or FA on electric power consumption abbreviated as CH1, whereas positive and significant impact from FD, FE and FF is observed. On the other hand, for CH2 or energy usage, key determinants are FA, FD-FF under full sample period. For CH3 or Nitrous Oxide emission, there is highly significant and negative impact from FA, while FD and FF are also positively influencing the Nitrous Oxide emission during 1970-2018 on annual basis. For Methane emissions, positive determination is experienced from FD and FF. The findings under present study would provide good understand for the relationship between forestry factors and climate change dimensions in Thailand. In addition, literature contribution is also observed with the help of present study and in the regional context of Thailand too.As per the implication present study can be utilized for examining the relationship between forestry factors and climate change dynamics. However, some limitations are associated with this research like, examining the two directional association between forest and climate change, cross sectional regional comparisons, and implication of both short and long term relationship between the variables of the study. Future studies may reasonably address these limitations as it can provide some more literature contribution in the targeted fields.
