State of marketing in the lumber industry?Marketing sophistication in private sawmilling companies in the United States
• “…companies do not have a holistic understanding of marketing. When talking about the definition of marketing, they tend to emphasize marketing practices occurring in their daily operations and ignore the thinking and planning behind them.”
• “Although a production-oriented mentality still largely persists, it is quite clear that many of the studied companies are pursuing an outward-looking, market-oriented approach.”
• “…we find underdeveloped thinking on the organization and implementation of marketing within forest products industry companies.” “…they have a sales department with a sales executive.”
Han and Hansen 2016, 2017

The Future of FPM
• “…the genesis of B2B marketing theory needs to be rooted in real practitioner problems while applying the rigor of academic research.”
• My observation:• Academics are becoming even more academic
Cortez and Johnston 2017
![Page 29: Past, present, and future of forest products marketingIUFRO 5.10 Forest Products Marketing and Business Management • 1990 Montréal World Congress • Steve Sinclair forms group](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/61097f13ad970c2f7f7865f3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Parting Shot
• Just as we advocate that the bioeconomy phenomenon is a chance for the forest sector to reinvigorate itself, maybe it too is a chance for the academy to aspire to a higher level. By a higher level I mean both a higher level of sophistication in approaches and methods, but also a higher level of relevance to practitioners.
