In industries like paper and pulp, the fastest and easiest way to react to growing competition was to compete with lower prices and to try simultaneously to reduce production costs. As posited in the introductory part, the dependency on raw materials and shared technological information have traditionally emphasized the importance of cost effectiveness and economics of scale in the P&P industry.
