Abstract
Norwegian goat milk production is based on summer grazing on diverse forest or alpine rangeland, and the quality of these pastures is important for milk quantity and quality. We used n-alkanes and long chained alcohols found in plant waxes as markers to estimate diet composition in goats grazing on a heterogeneous rangeland during two periods in summer; early (beginning of July) and late (end of August). Some of the goats were fitted with GPS collars that recorded their position. Preliminary results show a diverse diet, where ferns, sedges, blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillis) and birch (Betula pubescens) were preferred in early summer. In late summer the diet was particularly diverse, coinciding with a general decline in plant quality.

This study examines the relationship between customer orientation, innovativeness, autonomy, risk taking, growth willingness and growth in low technology micro-firms. A survey was sent to 3000 CEOs in the Norwegian wood industry and resulted in 514 usable respondents. Customer orientation, innovativeness, risk taking, autonomy and growth were conceptualized and analyzed as first order constructs using confirmatory factor analysis and OLS regression. The findings showed that customer orientation, innovativeness and autonomy have a significant impact on growth in micro-firms. The study found no support for interaction effects between innovativeness, autonomy, risk taking and customer orientation, however the interaction effect between customer orientation and autonomy was significant at the 10% level.
