Abstract

This study evaluates different strategic courses of action concerning the whole forest industry sector. The assessments are based on the opinions of a group of experts in Finnish forest industries. The aim of the study is to evaluate the factors of success and their relative weights, and to evaluate the formulated strategy alternatives of the forest industries for the future (the year 2010 and beyond). The decision support method Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been utilised in the assessment of different strategies. With AHP, it is possible to evaluate several strategies and to synthesise qualitative and quantitative factors in the decision making.
