Macrologistics is a strategic view of logistics as a production
factor on national scales to support a shift towards
sustainability. The book details logistics' evolution from a
functional discipline to a value chain optimiser and, ultimately,
an enabler of sustainability, including the evolution of metrics to
support this shift. Macrologistics instrumentation involves
striving towards the lowest total cost of ownership for national
economies where, to improve decision-making, these costs should
ultimately include the societal and ecological costs incurred due
to logistics activities. From Logistics Strategy to Macrologistics
represents macrologistics research outputs for a number of
developing economies, identifying distinctive macrologistics policy
and infrastructure investments themes to address national logistics
challenges in developing economies. The book culminates in a
discussion on the potential future role of logistics to support the
shift to a more sustainable society, where an acceptance of a
degrowth paradigm might be required, and even advisable, for a more
secure, fulfilling future. Logistics (and economics) scholars,
researchers and practitioners should steer their work towards
contributing to the development of an ecologically sustainable
society, where resources and returns are shared widely, sustainably
and equitably.
