Creative destruction in Finland’s forest sector |
|
|
Creative destruction is a process, in which the old economic structure is
replaced by a new and better one. In the Finnish forest sector, this kind of
process took place in the late 19th century, when tar production vanished
and pulp and paper production emerged. Now the forest sector appears to be
again in the similar state. The beginning of the creative destruction
process is a hard time for many since the negative destructive impacts
dominate. However, once the positive creative impacts start to be firmly
established, new economic vitality is to be expected.
