“…These changes were brought about by globalization, new technological innovations, and the relative decline in demand for printing paper, which is the industry's traditional high‐end market (cf. Ojala et al ; Järvinen et al . ; Klepper and Thompson ; Ghosal and Nair‐Reichert ; Teece ; Hetemäki ).…”

Prior research on competitive dynamics has failed to offer tools to understand distorted patterns of competition that emerge from distinct institutional and historical contexts. Our analysis suggests that a joint effect of institutional rules, governance structures, and shared cognition plays a pivotal role in firm-level competitive behavior and capability development. We show how globally significant market positions can result from specific institutional arrangements between firms and governments, especially if coupled with interfirm contractual commitments. Our results call for more attention to these interfirm commitments that are built on formal rules and governmental support, but whose impact they yet exceed.

“…For the application of this alternative, the amount of residual solid needed to satisfy the process steam for LA production and the remaining solid available for pellet production has to be determined. The calorific value of pine sawdust after the steam explosion treatment is estimated with the higher heating value (HHV) parameter, as shown in Eqn (1): 56 HHV (MJ kg -1 ) = 0.1736Ce + 0.2663L + 0.3219 (1) where Ce, L, and E are the weight percentage on dry biomass basis of polysaccharides (cellulose and hemicelluloses), lignin, and extractives, respectively.…”

“…In recent decades, the forest industry and the forest products trade have endured major changes as a consequence of globalization, climate change, high energy prices, and the financial crisis. Finland, Norway, Sweden, Canada, the USA, and some countries in South America have a large forested area available to be harvested and used in industrial processes . The global forest industry is relying increasingly on forests located in South America, Africa, and Asia.…”

Pine sawdust is an important lignocellulosic waste from the primary industrialization of wood, and its valorization using the biorefinery concept could add new value chains to the forest industry. Compared with large‐scale biorefineries, small‐scale ones involve lower capital and logistics costs, lower risk, and can increase the use of labor in rural areas. A scheme was proposed for the use of the hemicelluloses obtained from the spent liquor of a steam explosion pretreatment of pine sawdust. With the proposed scheme, levulinic acid (LA), formic acid (FA), acetic acid and furfural are obtained from the liquid fraction while pellets are produced from the solid fraction. This pine sawdust biorefinery allows about 747 kg of pellets, 57 kg of LA, 23 kg of FA, 18 kg of acetic acid, and 22 kg of furfural per 1000 kg of dry sawdust to be obtained. The energy used for LA production is one of the main production costs. When 95% of the residual solid is used to generate steam, there is an improvement in the internal rate of return (IRR). The heat integration allows a reduction of 10% in the steam consumption for LA, increasing the capacity for pellet production. The results obtained are therefore essential when seeking alternatives for pine sawdust biorefineries, focusing on the improvement of the production processes, satisfaction of energy requirements, and the reduction of the recovery costs. Three alternatives for the valorization of pine sawdust were analyzed and the best of them obtained an IRR of about 17%. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

“…En revanche, la ixation des prix dépend largement du niveau des échanges internationaux. Or, depuis plusieurs années, l'industrie papetière au niveau mondial rencontre des problèmes de surproduction, l'ajustement s'effectue de façon cyclique mais les phénomènes de tension conjoncturelle entraînent des ajustements structurels assez importants au niveau des différents groupes et conduisent à un processus de concentration sectorielle (Ojala et al, 2012). Selon certains travaux de prospectives, les capacités de production de l'IP en Europe pourraient ainsi diminuer de 25 à 30 % (par rapport à 2010) à échéance 2030 (Raunikar et al, 2010).…”
