University of Oregon School of Business Administration Bureau of Business Research, UO Studies in Business No. 4.
A look back on sources and uses of domestic and foreign hardwoods, and opportunities for growth in the hardwood industry for Oregon businesses of the time.
This study was designed to discover means by which Oregon manufacturers would be able to take greater advantage of the raw material supply and growing consumer markets of the Pacific basin countries. The study sought to determine how Oregon’s wood-using industries could draw more strategically upon the rich store of hardwoods available in Pacific basin countries and other overseas sources. It sought, too, to stimulate the interest of Oregon home-builders and other buyers of wood products in decorative hardwoods and in the local businesses that make them available in finished form.
