11 Forest industry promoted domestic harvesting 2008 (Vehicle Administration Finland 2009)
12 Large delayed winter work site reserves show normal removals for February in Finland, but after that... Mäki-Simola, E. Metinfo, Metsätilastotiedote 10/2009 Commercial removals, Mill. m 3 Maximum Average Minimum
13 Wood purchases dropped in Finland Mustonen, M. Metinfo, Metsätilastotiedote 11/2009 Wood purchases of industry, Mill. m 3 Maximum Average Minimum
14 Industry reactions Industry has cut production in factories Only obligatory" winter site cuttings will be carried out No wood will be cut for storage; inventories full with imports Lay-offs of wood procurement personnel Operations moved to Sweden, imports from there Wood markets preserved "alive" Harvesting enterprises at stand still at least 4-5 months
15 How do customers react on recession? Sharing poverty Weakest firms fail in every size/enterprise class Which firms continue? Criteria of choice: price, size, "best-loved" etc. Less transactions, larger enterprises => more negotiation power Let area/key entrepreneurs make decision Mixed strategies Others? Own machines or subcontractors
16 Wage and depreciation cost dominate (Statistics Finland 2009)
17 Theoretical recession endurance of Finnish harvesting enterprises based on the situation at the end of 2007 Cash burn rate = how long an enterprise can pay obligatory expenditures Here only interests, amortization-free period negotiated Small person enterprise: Turnover < , 1 machine, 0,3 employees Large limited company: Turnover > , 6 machines, 9 employees Enterprise size and type Wage payment Cash burn rate = endurance in months Lower quartile Median Upper quartile Small person enterprise Wages paid Large limited company Wages paid 0 2,5 6,5 Small person enterprise Wages not paid Large limited company Wages not paid In reality times are much shorter Enterprise is usually only source of income for the owner There are other obligatory periodical expenditures Employees can not bear long lay-off
18 Did the record year 2007 reduce bankcrupties in harvesting business? -There was wood harvesting enterprises in 2007 Statistics Finland material -During share of bankrupties varied in harvesting business 0,4-1,0 % and in all businesses 0,7-1,0 % data not yet complete
19 Entrepreneurs have to response to changing environment (after Gibb 2000) Global Pressures State repositioning Greater uncertainty and complexity - The need for an entrepreneurial response Organisational repositioning Individual repositioning
20 ow can entrepreneurs react? inimising cost Negotiations with customers No investments, negotiate amortization -free period Laying-off personnel eveloping business Resizing and reshaping for future New compensation structure Part time operations New customers, services or change of business Training and developing him-/herself and personnel ositive attitude to enterprising Seeking new business opportunities Learning processes
21 Model of small business information seeking as a response to environmental threat and opportunities (after Lang, Calantone & Gudmundson 1997) Intension to expand firm Market extension in future Intension to expand product/service Relative competitivenes Perceived opportunities Perceived threats Information seeking Association memberships Use of consultative and other services Media usage Competitors as threats
22 Questions What is the volume of work after the depression? Who operates the business, who are operators? Machines exist, who owns them? What could be done for future? Proactivity Planning of investments and financing Risk analysis Only profitable agreements => solidity Cost factors affect on compensation New businesses: forest bioenergy? Ability to operate abroad????
