Abstract
This chapter illustrates the use of strategic roadmapping
as a policy tool for regions or industry sectors to
formulate a strategy to renew and transform their
industrial base when faced with structural decline,
diminishing opportunities, and intensifying competitive
pressures. This approach is illustrated by the case study
of the forest and wood products industry in the Green
Triangle region in the southeast of South Australia, both
the road maps produced and the staged policy
recommendations made for immediate, short, and long-term
action. The chapter concludes by summarising the key
arguments for the use of strategic roadmapping as policy
tool for industrial transformation, and identifying some
future avenues for strategic roadmapping in the forest
and wood products industry and in manufacturing industry
in general.
