An article by Bill Burpitt, associate professor of business administration, will appear in the Academy of Entrepreneurship Journal.
Titled “Strategies for Firms in Declining Industries: A Study of the Furniture Industry,” the article is based on Burpitt’s research into the industry in North Carolina and examines first-tier supply firms to furniture companies.
Burpitt’s research also aims to explore how furniture firms can position themselves to compete with low-cost, off-shore producers, chiefly Chinese firms.
