      <description><![CDATA[In this paper, we discuss the results of Ready-To-Assemble (RTA) furniture market research which was conducted to better understand the current dynamics in this furniture sector. Within the furniture industry, the RTA furniture segment is a high growth segment which is likely to continue to outperform most other segments in the industry. We conclude that for individual manufacturers to succeed, quality, pricing and, above all, design has to be progressive and competitive. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The objectives of this study were to examine the use of some lesser-used wood-based inputs and to determine their selection criteria by furniture and cabinet manufacturers in the Southern United States. In this research we found that no respondents used OSB (oriented strandboard). Respondents in all industry sectors studied said that they planned to increase usage of lumber and plywood. We also found that the main reason respondents are not using OSB, LVL, PSL and LSL is customer objections. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <pubDate>Mon, 15 Dec 2008 06:30:13 GMT</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[In this research, we studied the legal aspects and the various relevant clauses of a timber sale contract. We conclude that while a good contract is important, it is no substitute for being present at the work site. The landowner should walk the tract with the logger before commencement of the operations and visit the site often during harvesting. This way, problems can be prevented, and both parties will be much more satisfied. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this research, we studied Ghana's wood products sector and its competitiveness in the international wood products market. Our conclusions are that Ghana’s wood products industry can be competitive if changes are implemented collectively and in a coordinated and cooperative fashion by all stakeholders. These changes include improving processes and procedures in wood products value and supply chains and taking a more proactive approach in resource utilization and creating effective market. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this study, we studied how the Rural/Urban Digital Divide could be bridged. We conclude that internet is becoming an invaluable tool for development. However, there is a challenge of how to ensure that all participants, industrialized and developing, urban and rural, rich and poor, and all races benefit from this technology. America should strive to turn the digital divide into digital opportunities to maintain economic growth. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The findings of this research indicate that a reduction in air-dried lumber production in Ghana was significantly and negatively related to imposition of the air-dry levy but had no significant relationship with raw material levels. It was further observed that products that are processed further downstream, including rotary and plywood, could not be significantly affected by the strategies. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This paper empirically tests a theoretical model that makes the connection between organizational resources and capabilities and successful IICT adoption. Results suggest that, in addition to a robust information technology (IT) infrastructure, investment in organizational change management, the ability to sense changes in the technology environment, development of managerial IT knowledge, and a culture of freely shared internal information are key to a company's IICT development. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this study, we research US imports of tropical hardwood. The results indicate that the U.S. imports 161 different species of tropical hardwoods, 20 percent from Africa, 43 percent from Asia, and 37 percent from Latin America.  However, importers are often resistant to market new tropical wood species as it is difficult to introduce new species that compete with species currently accepted in the market. - Full Content set to .]]></description>
