British Columbia's forest economy is at a crucial crossroads. Its
survival, Roger Hayter argues, rests on its ability to remain
flexible and open to innovation – a future by no means assured
given recent policy initiatives and the current contested nature of
British Columbia's forests. Flexible Crossroads looks at the
contemporary restructuring of British Columbia's forest economy,
demonstrating how both resource dynamics – the transition from
old growth to managed forests – and industrial dynamics –
changing technology and global market forces – have shaped this
transformation. Conceptually, the restructuring is portrayed as a
shift from a commodity-based, cost-minimizing production system
(Fordism) to a more product-differentiated, value-maximizing
production system informed by the imperative of flexibility.
