1990年代初出现的森林管理核证是解决森林丧失和退化问题的一个潜在的市场办法，但核证的木材尚未在木材和木材产品市场中占有很大的份额。虽然缺乏经认证的木材供应被认为是一个问题，但人们对接受经认证的产品的市场障碍知之甚少。这项研究旨在确定和比较英国造纸和建筑行业采用认证木材和木材产品的障碍。研究结果表明，个别公司之间和行业之间的壁垒显着变化。查明的主要障碍包括：组织方面的制约因素-战略承诺、制度、工作人员技能和资金供应不足;供应方面的制约因素-材料的可得性、供应链的复杂性、根深蒂固的供应商关系;以及需求方面的制约因素-缺乏知识、需求疲软、对价格敏感、传统期望和替代品的可得性。讨论了克服这些障碍的方法。版权所有© 2005约翰威利父子有限公司和ERP环境。
Whilst forest management certification emerged in the early 1990s as a potential market-based solution to the problem of forest loss and degradation, certified timber has not yet taken a significant share of timber and wood product markets. Although the lack of supply of certified timber is acknowledged as a problem, market barriers to the uptake of certified products are poorly understood. This study sought to identify and compare barriers to the uptake of certified wood and wood products in the UK's paper and construction industries. Findings indicate marked variation in barriers between individual companies and between the industries. Key barriers identified include: organizational constraints – strategic commitment, inadequate systems, staff skills and financial provision; supply constraints – material availability, supply chain complexities, entrenched supplier relationships; and demand constraints – lack of knowledge, weak demand, price sensitivity, traditional expectations and availability of substitutes. Ways to overcome these barriers are discussed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.
