Abstract
  • Families. Forestry. Two significant topics in the history of the United States and, particularly, of the Pacific Northwest. Families and forestry have been linked since the days when 19th century Americans made their way west, clearing homesteads and setting up farms and ranches. Although the nature of the forest products business has changed dramatically over time, and particularly since the turn of this century, the nature of family involvement in forest products businesses has not. In the Pacific Northwest, family businesses historically have dominated the forest products industry--Weyerhaeuser, Simpson, Pope & Talbot, to name but a few. Today, family firms of all sizes operate in the forest products industry in the Pacific Northwest. What issues face family concerns in this important and volatile industry? This monograph examines ten Oregon and Washington family businesses in the forest products industry. The majority of the businesses studied are small (less than 500 employees) and all are closely held. Smaller firms were chosen for the study because of easier access to personnel and because of the likelihood of similar experiences. The purpose of the study was to ascertain the issues facing these family firms as they operate in the forest products industry. This paper will discuss important issues facing family businesses in general as reported by family business research­ers, and then discuss the findings drawn from interviews with the ten forest products businesses. It is hoped that as a result of this study, family firms in the forest products industry will have a better understanding of the issues they face in common with other family firms in the forest products industry. In turn, it is hoped that this knowledge can help these family firms manage the business and the family more effectively.
