A comparison of innovation in the furniture manufacturing industries of Croatia and The United States
In fall 2009 and in spring 2010 we conducted mail-based surveys of 430 and 409 randomly selected members of the U.S. and Croatian furniture manufacturing sectors, respectively. The primary objective of these studies was to compare manufacturing and business process innovation between these countries. Although the U.S. and Croatia have very different socioeconomic, geographic, and cultural characteristics, results indicate that over the past 5 years their furniture sectors have both lost considerable market share in the markets they serve and have experienced a decline in domestic consumption due to pressure from other furniture manufacturing countries and the global economic recession. Manufacturing facility closures, industry consolidation, and process/production innovation may be the driver to shape the future of the furniture sectors in both countries.
