A COMPARISON OF FURNITURE MANUFACTURER DEMOGRAPHICS AND PRODUCTION PROFILES: THE UNITED STATES AND CROATIA

The United States and Croatia are very different countries, and as such, one might expect their furniture manufacturing sectors to also be very different. In fall 2009 and spring 2010 mail-based surveys of randomly selected members from furniture manufacturing sectors in both countries were conducted. The objective of this paper is to compare company demographics and manufacturing characteristics in a large developed country (US) and a smaller less developed country (Croatia). Characteristics included number, age and educational level of employees ; age, number and commonality of machines used in production processes and ; expectations on number of manufacturing processes and number of employees respondents expected over the next three years.
