Abstract

In the present paper the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Turkish forest products industry was investigated with the help of quantitative research methods. Focus groups and interview methods were adopted as the methodology. The scope of the study is limited to wood-based panel, laminate flooring and furniture industries which are the leading branches within forest products industry of Turkey. The respondents are white-collar workers randomly chosen from engineers, managers or marketing directors of large-sized enterprises from Ankara and Bursa. The enterprises were limited with mentioned cities due to these cities are of great importance for the industry in management and marketing activities. Results showed that COVID-19 pandemic affected the labour force and income negatively. The key finding of this work is that if the pandemic lasts longer the substantial economic side effects will be inevitable. Also, the results suggest that at first the companies should focus on raw material supply and secondly to domestic market rather than the international market.

Özet

Bu makalede COVID-19 salgınının Türkiye orman ürünleri endüstrisi üzerindeki etkisi nicel araştırma yöntemleri yardımıyla araştırılmıştır. Metodoloji olarak odak grupları ve görüşme yöntemleri benimsenmiştir. Çalışmanın kapsamı, Türkiye orman ürünleri sektörünün önde gelen dalları olan ahşap esaslı panel, laminat parke ve mobilya sektörleri ile sınırlıdır. Katılımcılar, Ankara ve Bursa'da faaliyet gösteren büyük ölçekli işletmelerin mühendisleri, yöneticileri veya pazarlama müdürleri arasından rastgele seçilen beyaz yakalı çalışanlardır. İşletmelerin adı geçen şehirlerle sınırlı kalması, bu şehirlerin yönetim ve pazarlama faaliyetlerinde endüstri için büyük önem taşımasından dolayıdır. Sonuçlar, COVID-19 salgınının işgücünü ve geliri olumsuz etkilediğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanın en önemli bulgusu, pandemi daha uzun sürerse ciddi ekonomik yan etkilerin kaçınılmaz olacağıdır. Ayrıca sonuçlar, şirketlerin öncelikle hammadde tedariğine, ikinci olarak da uluslararası pazar yerine iç pazara odaklanmaları gerektiğini göstermektedir.
