Abstract

Innovation and entrepreneurship research related to the forestry sector has progressed significantly in recent years, integrating an increasing number of topics and developing stronger theoretical grounding. Specifically, Schumpeterian theory is increasingly used as a framework of reference. This review of the application of Schumpeterian theory to the forestry innovation and entrepreneurship literature reveals a growing number of alternative theoretical interpretations, highlights several potential issues, and provides suggestions on how to address these issues to allow the debate to proceed on more solid theoretical ground. Furthermore, we suggest a Schumpeterian research agenda tailored to the current debates in the context of forestry research to illustrate the usefulness of Schumpeterian theory for the development of the field.
