Transformation of the structure of the timber industry complex on the path to new industrialization

Abstract

The article shows a study to assess the structure of the timber industry complex of Russia in the pioneering days of a new industrialization. It is a radically new stage of scientific and technological progress that has no historical analogues in the degree of influence on human civilization. New industrial technologies, possessing enormous potential for changing the direction of technological development, at the same time have ambiguous social and environmental consequences. The timber industry complex is one of the most important and interesting objects for research, since the products of the industry are distributed throughout the world and play an important role for the economies of all countries. In developed countries, the forest industry complex accounts for about 10% of the total industrial production. Wood is an important type of raw material. Even considering the competition from new technologies and materials, the proportion in the structure of the global gross domestic product is almost not reduced. The fundamental problem of assessing and predicting the effects of new industrialization based on technological transformation using quantitative indicators forms the need to create a multisigmoidal innovation cycle for changing the structure: from obtaining new fundamental knowledge to their practical use.

Sustainable forest management as a basis for economic security

“…Separate indicators are interpreted as "mixed ecological and economic, ecological and socio-economic, socio-ecological" [11, p.13]. Yet, such experts in the field as S. Medvedev and S. Krylova [12,13] hold a different view point. It is important in both directions to focus on the construction of an aggregated indicator.…”

Malaysian timber industry policy: Achievements, challenges, and lessons learned

“…Out of the seven variables (i.e., key strategies), only two variables, supply of raw materials and human capital development, were positive and statistically significant, which affected the respondent companies perceived impediments to the success of NATIP. This finding has important implications as policy framework can have serious impediments if the follow-up action plan to implement the strategies are lacking, as reported by Amoah et al (2009) and Kirillova et al (2019). To assess how well the model fits the data, the Hosmer and Lemeshow test was developed, as suggested by Menard (2002).…”
