Highly successful in hardcover, this analysis of both the current
status of logistic and its future role in European business is now
available in paperback for students of logistic, distribution,
strategy and international business.
Logistic in Europe is undergoing a period of unprecedented
change. The Single European Market, German unification and reform
in eastern Europe have together had a major impact on the
continent, with inevitable consequences for logistics. At company
level, there is also increasing petition from the newly
industrialized countries of the Pacific Rim, not to mention the
dismantle of trade barriers within Europe which have so far
afforded considerable protection to some European industries.
The two main sections of the book consider demand and supply the
market place for logistic services. In analyzing demand, the
authors focus on the changing needs on manufacturers and retailers,
the two principles users of logistics in advanced economies. On the
supply side they examine a number of different kinds of provider of
the logistics services, including carriers, freight forwarders and
information technology companies. These providers are both
responding to the needs on users, and initiating developments of
their own. The rise of the mega-carrier is an especially important
development, and one chapter is devoted to examining their
prospects for success.
