Description

WP1 defines the context in which the BASAJAUN project will address construction processes in connection with sustainable regional development. This report investigates the wood construction value chain in three regions: France, Poland and Finland. For this purpose, we realize two survey, which estimates the strategic competitiveness of companies and identify the barriers of entry for new candidate of the value chain. Furthermore, we analyze the major opportunities for business innovative models and bottleneck, and identify the solutions to overcome, according the respondents. Our results provide evidence that:
• quality of good final product sold or delivery reliability are the most significant drivers of competitive advantage while the size of companies is of moderate or minor importance to gain market share – according respondents of three regions.
• all barriers to entry can be overcome or easy overcome for new enter, except capital requirements and government policy (especially in Poland).
• the governance of the wood value chain is broadly similar in three regions, even if there is some particularities (high importance in judicial governance in Poland, in collective governance in France).
• lack of cooperation, collaboration and common strategy between actors of the wood value chain as the main common bottleneck between three regions
• the most opportunities for upgrading is adopting new technologies and improving product and process by cooperation between several links of the wood value chain
