Latin America is a well recognized and growing market, but its poor
infrastructure, explosive urbanization, expensive and inefficient
logistics, and multiple social problems continue to pose major
problems to logistics professionals and academics. The uniqueness
and complexity of these issues have long daunted scholars, and
there remains an important gap in the literature around Latin
American supply chain management and logistics (SCM&L). Supply
Chain Management and Logistics in Latin America brings together
leading scholars across Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru,
Panama, and the USA in order to address this gap. The chapters
collected here, all of which are drawn from selected papers
presented at the 2016 MIT SCALE Latin American Conference on
Logistics and Supply Chain Management, offer perspectives from five
different countries-Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Peru-and
provide insights into cases and new methods written by people who
have faced the challenges they discuss. The authors cover a broad
range of subjects: in addition to general contributions to
qualitative and quantitative methods in supply chain management and
coverage of cases of global importance such as the Panama Canal
expansion, they offer insights into regionally specific problems
around freight corridors in Colombia, reverse logistics and
recycling in Colombia, supply risk management in Colombia, and
socially oriented logistics in low-income communities in Peru.
Since Latin America is one of the most urbanized regions in the
world, with about eighty percent of the population living in
cities, questions around urban logistics also receive heavy
coverage, with four chapters discussing issues unique to very
high-density cities and megacities such as Sao Paulo, Rio de
Janeiro, Bogota, and Quito. For its explorations of important
themes, methods, and local topics within a crucial and
ever-expanding market, Supply Chain Management and Logistics in
Latin America is a valuable resource for educators, researchers,
and practitioners.
