Abstract We surveyed district rangers in the Southwest Region (Region 3) of the USDA Forest Service to determine what management skills were most important to them. They were asked to identify skills that are important now and would be important to district rangers in the future. They selected from a list of 20 skills divided equally into technical, administration, communication, and political categories. Five of the skills were identified as most important. Regardless of whether the rangers were grouped by background experience, education, or by district characteristics, their scoring of the skills was substantially similar. West. J. Appl.

Forest Conditions

Weighted estimation formulas are developed for producing stratified estimates of means and variances where data come from plots that can contain multiple forest conditions. Each plot is mapped to allow the analyst to focus on specific forest types or conditions. The weights required to accommodate mapped plots are somewhat more complicated than the weights for unmapped plots. In particular, these weights depend on the mapped condition of interest. The implication is that a single plot weight or expansion factor will not suffice for all analyses as it does for unmapped plots. The methods are demonstrated using USDA Forest Service inventory data.

The Competitiveness Of Enterprises

For most enterprises the main purpose of their activities is to obtain proper financial results. For this reason, management of the enterprises requires a preliminary assessment of their economic potential. In particular, this concerns the potential to increase the competitiveness of enterprises. The assessment of the enterprise competitiveness potential is a prerequisite for determining the reserves of increasing its competitive advantages. The competitiveness is to a large extent affected by the management skills of business owners and managers. In particular, this refers to the ability to develop and implement a scientifically based strategy of competitive struggle and to manage the factors that shape the competitiveness. Nowaday much attention is paid to the assessing the competitiveness of both individual products and enterprises that produce them. It is worth to mention that the issue of managing the enterprise competitiveness is studied by many scientists. At the same time, the issue of managing the competitiveness of enterprises in modern scientific literature is more focused on the problem of better use of the real enterprise competitive potential rather than the question of this potential developing. The objective of the paper is to establish the essence and justification of assessment indicators of the enterprises competitiveness potential. This potential captures the ability of enterprises to provide a certain level of competitiveness in the future. Therefore, the following main tasks were consistently solved: the essence of the competitiveness potential were determined; the general approaches to its assessment were proposed; regularities of managing the factors of the enterprises competitiveness formation were determined. A two-stage assessment of enterprise competitiveness potential is proposed. The first stage is the measurement of the existing level of competitiveness. At the second stage changes of the competitiveness indicators in the future are projected. Further research on the assessment of the competitiveness potential of enterprises requires the construction of formalized models of rotation of industry leaders as a result of technological changes.
