Abstract

This study indicates that overall growth of Internet use in the solid wood forest products industry in the United States is expected to increase over the next 2 years. Currently, firms with 1995 sales less than $1 million are the predominant users of the Internet among study respondents, with small secondary manufacturers being more likely than primary manufacturers to have implemented the Internet into their organization. However, respondents indicated this will change within the next 2 years when the majority of large firms (1995 sales over $100 million) will be using the Internet for sales to customers, purchases from suppliers, and other business applications.
