Air traffic and the aviation industry have grown rapidly on the
Chinese mainland in the two and a half decades since China's open
door policy. Accession to the WTO will further stimulate trade and
foreign direct investment (FDI), intensifying the demand for air
cargo services. It will also open up the Chinese economy to foreign
participation in the transportation and logistics sectors, making
these sectors more competitive and efficient. This book provides a
systematic and comprehensive study of China's air cargo industry as
well as its policy evolution. It covers the sources and
destinations of air cargo in mainland China and Hong Kong: whence
it comes and where it goes to. The major hubs of the transportation
network - Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou - are
discussed one by one. The virtual aspects of the network at these
hubs in terms of IT applications, preparedness, and needs are
examined and compared. Though the subject matter of this book is
air cargo, there is considerable coverage of the aviation industry
and policy on the mainland and Hong Kong. Changes have been
happening so fast there are few books and publications that cover
them systematically and comprehensively. Readership includes
business executives in airfreight companies, airports and airlines,
logistics specialists, aviation university lecturers and students.
4th Party Cyber Logistics For Air Cargo is a technical discussion
for researchers and practitioners to understand the issues, models,
and future directions of air cargo logistics in the cyber era. This
book introduces the many aspects of planning and control of air
cargo logistics processes in an e-Business environment. The authors
approach this subject matter from the perspective of the logistics
service providers. There is tremendous potential of achieving
industry-wide collaboration between agents of the air cargo
industry via an e-Business community platform. At the same time,
there are many intellectually challenging problems regarding the
architecture, ownership, decision support environment, and
knowledge management of such an e-Business platform.
The authors provide an evolutionary view to conceptualize the
developments of websites where e-Commerce activities and e-Business
activities co-exist. Four Web eras are detailed, providing an
impetus for the development of frameworks of an e-Business platform
for air cargo logistics, or e-Platform. The conceptual framework
captures the new elements in cyber logistics and what the framework
can do for the industry.
