Download or read book Managing Global Logistics for Business Growth written by Anthony Barone and published by Buoyant Capital. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a lot of reasons why companies go global. A particular foreign market may present a greater profitability opportunity than the local market of the business. Perhaps, the business has reached the tipping point in its export business and the market has grown large enough to merit an additional manufacturing facility or partner in another country. Maybe access to skilled, lower-cost workers is an attraction. Possibly setting up a local shop in a foreign market will help circumvent trade barriers that are constraining the company’s growth. The book is for small to medium enterprises (SME), a business that has grown beyond the “start-up venture”. The SME would be an ongoing business, with employees, receivables, and payables. It has a business growth plan, and as the manager, you know what business you are in and have the resources to expand. SMEs typically do not have a cadre of specialists, particularly where logistics and trade compliance are concerned. Those duties are most likely being added to existing staff with similar domestic responsibilities. However, realize that global is not the same as local business, it is outside of common knowledge and there are matters that managers need to understand better so they do not make serious mistakes in the process of going global.

Download or read book Critically evaluate the development of Supply Chain Management over the last 30 years from its roots in physical distribution into a strategic boardroom level business issue written by Christian Bernhardt and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012-11-21 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1, Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh, language: English, abstract: ‘The real challenge is to improve the capabilities across supply chains significantly in order to drive out cost and realize revenue benefits – fast’ (Gattorna 2003, p.4). This statement both demon-strates the importance for enterprises and emphasizes the complexity of the supply chain require-ments these days. In times of strong competition almost everywhere it is especially important to meet customer needs and thus ‘achieving high levels of service’ (Taylor 1997, p.3). But where does Supply Chain Management (SCM) have its roots and what stands behind it? The purpose of this essay is to critically evaluate the development of SCM. It will both include an explanation of the differences between logistics and SCM and its reasons as well as an explana-tion why supply chain managers are now part of the senior management group. Therefore, the history of physical distribution, logistics and SCM will be mentioned, these three central terms will be defined precisely and four academic strategic approaches will be introduced briefly.

Download or read book Global Logistics and Supply Chain Strategies for the 2020s written by Rico Merkert and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-12-08 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logistics and supply chain management is facing disruptive economic, technological and climate change developments that require new strategies. New technologies such as the Internet-of-Things, digital manufacturing or blockchain are emerging quickly and could provide competitive advantage to those companies that leverage the technologies smartly while managers that do not adopt and embrace change could be left behind. Last but perhaps most important for mankind, sustainability aspects such as low-carbon transportation, closed loop supply chains or socially-responsible supply chain setups will become essential to operate successfully in the future. All these aspects will affect logistics and supply chains as a whole as well as different functional areas such as air cargo, maritime logistics or sourcing/procurement. This book aims to dive into several of these functional topics to highlight the key developments in the next decade predicted by leading global experts in the field. It features contributions and key insights of globally leading scholars and senior industry experts. Their forward-looking perspectives on the anticipated trends are aimed at informing the reader about how logistics and supply chain management will evolve in the next decade and which academic qualities and skills will be required to succeed in the "new normal" environment that will be characterized by volatile and increasingly disrupted business eco-systems. Future scenarios are envisaged to provide both practitioners and students with insights that will help them to adapt and succeed in a fast changing world.
