Global Logistics Strategies

Global Logistics Strategies examines how the logistics industry has developed, how it is influenced by macro-economic factors and demand-side trends, what the risks are to the industry and how it will develop over the coming years. It features strategies and recommendations that companies can leverage. John Manners-Bell examines individual logistics segments looking at each one's unique micro-economic dynamics: freight forwarding, contract logistics, shipping, road freight, air cargo and express are defined, explored and described in detail. The book also examines the individual supply chain dynamics and logistics demands of the major vertical sectors: Automotive, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Retail, Consumer and High Tech.
