How does the innovation system in the Slovak forestry service sector work?

摘要

Forestry as a sector is often considered a mature, "low-tech" industry which invests comparatively little in research and development and is mainly an innovation user (Rametsteiner et al., 2010; Weiss et al. 2011). However, developments in the sector have led to a widely shared perception that past practice might not necessarily bring future success. This opens up opportunities for innovations in the forest sector (Rametsteiner et al., 2005).
