The enterprise-focused framework of supply chain, which an overwhelming majority of books on supply chain management (SCM) have adopted, falls short in explaining recent developments in the real world, especially the so-called Wal-Mart model, in which a 'factory' is a virtual logistics network of multiple international manufacturing firms. The book fills the gap and examines supply chain and transport logistics. The success of the Wal-Mart model rests on dynamic innovations in two key dimensions, namely, all-mode logistics service facilitation and industrial organization of supply chains, on which existing SCM textbooks have little coverage. For example, managing transport utility and facility, such as seaports and airports, has become expected parts of logistics and SCM, especially in an international orientation; which, however, are seldom covered in the textbooks on SCM and logistics. Supply chain and transport logistics as termed in this book is precisely based on this intriguing interrelationship, referring to supply-chain centered logistics of enterprise-crossing characteristics, including both service facilitation and industrial organization (IO) aspects of logistics. This book also includes the development of a unified methodological framework which underpins all the characteristics of the intriguing interrelationship between supply chain management and logistics. It covers many aspects of the important and innovative developments well. The book offers a unique coverage of integrated logistics of navigation, aviation and transportation. The book not only answers the urgent need for a book on supply chain management and transport logistics but also highlights the central role of supply chain logistics in the emerging fields of sustainable (green), humanitarian and maritime supply chains and the importance of studying supply chain management together with transport logistics. It also explains the difference between supply chain
