Abstract
Describes the history and evolution of the log home manufacturing industry, a rapidly growing embryonic industry capitalizing on the back-to-basics lifestyle changes in the United States. Focuses on one of the leading firms in the industry, but allows a discussion of several of the other industry leaders as well. Designed for use in a two-day series on the analysis of strategic problems in an embryonic industry. What are the characteristic strategic issues in these types of industry environments? How do we anticipate and predict industry changes that will occur? How should an industry leader respond to the environment?
