Abstract

Historically, the forest sector has been an important industry for the Norwegian economy, particularly for rural areas. Even though growth patterns among rural communities have differed, all have been greatly affected by urban centralization, global markets, and economic decline in the agricultural sector. The multi-dimensional value of natural resources creates possibilities for local economic development, and landowners are a key factor in releasing this potential. Innovation research within the use of forest land has experienced rejuvenation in recent years as reduced income from agricultural products, saw logs and pulp logs has become a critical policy issue at national and regional levels. Four innovation-oriented studies have recently been completed at the University of Life Science and the Forest and Landscape Institute in Norway. These studies examined Entrepreneurial attitudes effect on probability for start-upsEntrepreneurial attitudes impact on innovation and performancesocial networks, learning orientation and entrepreneurial climate impact on innovativeness. This presentation will highlight the most important findings from these studies and outline implications of the findings that may be used by policy makers, landowners and research.
