The implications of deregulation & liberalization on the logistics service industry in Lao PDRThis study analyses the development of the Lao freight logistics sector with a special focus on factors influencing freight logistics services efficiency after the processes of liberalization and deregulation of the economy. Based on empirical data, the study focuses on two main dimensions of the Lao freight logistics sector: (i) the development of a private freight logistics sector since the formulation of the New Economic Mechanism (NEM) that progressively opened the Lao economy to the world; (ii) the Lao freight logistics sector's awareness of opportunities and challenges arising from Lao PDR's participation in ASEAN, GMS and hopefully the WTO in the near future.Strategic choice for Istanbul: A domestic or international orientation for logistics?The geographical location of Turkey in general, and Istanbul in particular, in a wider region encompassing the Black Sea, Balkans, Caucasus and Middle East provides an absolute advantage for the city to become an important international logistics node. Recent research has also identified Turkey as the fifth largest logistics market in the world. Therefore, promoting Istanbul as a logistics center of international importance has been high on the agenda of the Turkish central government, city authorities, and interest groups in recent years. To achieve this aim, local and central governments have been sponsoring new infrastructural projects to strengthen the position of the city as a world-class logistics center. However, other research has pointed to serious problems resulting from legislative shortcomings, lack of coordination among public bodies, mistakes in implementation, and insufficiencies in infrastructure and human capital. This article is based on a research project involving logistics firms in Istanbul designed to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of Istanbul in its quest to become as a logistics center serving a wider region beyond Turkey. The results of the interviews and survey have shown that today, logistics activity in the Marmara region (and Istanbul in particular) is mainly the result of economic activities taking place in a national context, rather than the result of entrepôt or logistics node operations at a regional or global level. In the promotional literature of public authorities, nevertheless, ’links with Turkic republics’ and ’a bridge between Europe and Asia’ are repeatedly referred to, despite their diminishing relevance to the operational requirements of Turkish logistics companies. Bureaucratic and legislative implementation deficiencies, and consequent transport shortcomings seem to occupy a more concrete and higher place on their agenda for the growth of logistics service provision. Policy formation needs to recognize this ordering of priorities in order to integrate economic and urban planning more effectively.Supply chain integration with third-party logistics providersThis study used the support of extant theory to propose that there are significant differences in the postures of firms that include logistics providers in their supply chain management efforts versus those that do not. Further, we identified four supply chain management constructs as being important factors in predicting firm performance, and then compared their levels of perceived importance of these factors across the two groups of firms. Our analysis supports the premise that information integration, 3PL selection criteria, performance evaluation, and relationship building are positively correlated with firmperformance. Also, our results show that firms that include 3PLs in their supply chain management efforts emphasize certain supply chain management constructs to a higher extent compared to firms that exclude 3PLs in their supply chain management efforts. The results of this study can be used in a Pareto sense of focusing on a few vital factors that can enhance firm performance.Global city regions and the location of logistics activity国际化区域中心城市在物流运作中的定位The aim of this paper is to extend and develop research surrounding the links between transport and urban regions. An understanding of transport activity has long involved the use of spatial frameworks, seen in the idea of a gateway city (with its surrounding hinterland) and in the identification of hubs or nodes. The particular framework used here is the global city region, a build-out from the much researched global city, and acknowledged as the most prominent feature of spatial development in the global economy. As these areas can accommodate important sea and airport infrastructure, the global city region can be expected to play a significant role in global logistics. Whether that significance extends just from the physical realm, as reflected in the infrastructure, or whether it is embedded in the scale and complexity of the advanced business services sector within the global city, is the issue that lies at the heart of the research. The research has set out to answer the question: “H ow important are these regions in logistics activity?”. The question has relevance in the context of transport geography as it provides an urban structure perspective on what is commonly seen as separate port or airport activity. Its relevance is enhanced as its answer relies upon a simultaneous analysis of both sea and air freight activity. Results show these regions counted for a substantial and growing share of sea and air freight between 1996 and 2006. In accounting for that outcome the research explores the particular effect of infrastructure (showing that global city regions with multiple seaport and airports play a special role) and also isolates the links with global city functions. The paper concludes with some insight on the special challenge these places create for strategic urban planning policy.Modeling the location choices of foreign investments in Chinese logistics industryThis paper attempts to identify the location determinants of foreign investment in the Chinese logistics industry. Based on a theoretical model, a nested logit model is introduced and estimated using data on 1775 foreign logistics establishments. We find that large market size attracts foreign investment, but high labor costs act as a deterrent. Good transportation infrastructure and high labor quality are positive factors. Logistics entrants prefer cities with many existing logistics providers, confirming the existence of service agglomeration economies. Capital cities attract more logistics investment, but there is no evidence that special economic zones and open coastal cities have significant advantages in attracting logistics investment.中国物流产业发展中的外商投资选择建模与决策Transport and the location of foreign logistics firms: The Chinese experience国外物流巨头在中国的产业转移与入驻地点选择：经验与预测Based on conditional logit models and recent census data, this paper attempts to study the influence of transport and other factors on the location of foreign logistics firms across Chinese cities. The results suggested that the location of foreign logistics firms depended on transport conditions in terms of roadway, railway and waterway, as well as market size, labor quality, agglomeration economies and government incentives. The importance of transport was found to vary with some firm-specific characteristics. Provincial roadway transport was more important for independent logistics firms and overseas Chinese firms compared to their counterparts. New logistics establishments were more sensitive to roadway transport infrastructure than mature firms. The implications for policy-makers are given in the end.A coordination-theoretic investigation of the impact of electronic integration on logistics performance区域一体化协同物流/物流电子化集成系统的效益调查分析内组织协调与电子化集成理论Using the Coordination Theory, we explored the impact of electronic integration of intra-organizational and inter-organizational business processes on organizational performance in terms of logistics cost and service improvements. Our work extends knowledge on adoption of information technology (IT) in logistics operations, with a focus on examining the performance implications of electronic integration within and between firms in a supply chain. Data was collected from 227 trading firms in Hong Kong and analyzed to investigate the research issues. Our empirical findings revealed that electronic integration is positively associated with logistics performance in cost but not in service, suggesting that electronic integration is not sufficient for delivering superior logistics services. Theoretical and practical implications of our results are discussed.Integrated inventory and transportation mode selection: A service parts logistics systemWe present an optimization-based model to gain insights into the integrated inventory and transportation problem for a single-echelon, multi-facility service parts logistics system with time-based service level constraints. As an optimization goal we minimize the relevant inventory and transportation costs while ensuring that service constraints are met. The model builds on stochastic base-stock inventory model and integrates it with transportation options and service responsiveness that can be achieved using alternate modes (namely slow, medium and fast). The results obtained through different networks show that significant benefits can be obtained from transportation mode and inventory integration.基于服务延伸与扩展的集成一体化仓储运输节点选择：制造加工区配件物流服务系统设计China's economic rise and its implications for logistics: The Australian case中国经济的提升对物流产业的启示：以澳大利亚案例为例说明China's economic rise has had a significant impact on the global economy in terms of trade patterns andorientation. Much has been done to quantify the impact of China's economic rise on international trade, but very little has been done to assess its implications for logistics. In this paper, we examine the effects of China's continued economic rise on the Australian logistics sector. Unlike previous work that used partial equilibrium models, we use a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. This allows us to capture the direct and indirect ramifications of trade and other economic developments associated with China's economic rise. The results are mixed between sub-sectors, but overall the Australian logistics sector would potentially benefit significantly from China's continued economic rise. However, these potential benefits will hinge partly on the Australian logistics sector's ability to respond to these opportunities.Deriving industrial logistics hub reference models for manufacturing based economies物流发展依赖于制造业基地的支撑和配件集散港的需求Global enterprises require extended logistics operations that integrate channel intermediaries into the network. The method for deriving integrated models for logistics hubs that improve the efficiency of manufacturers’ global operations is the focus of this paper. Under government sponsorship, six industrial logistics hubs were implemented by leading manufacturing sectors across Taiwan over a five year period from 2004 until 2008. Each industry sector had unique industry characteristics, business strategies, and logistics models. Therefore, this paper describes how generalized and quick to implement integrated logistics hubs are developed by studying the successful reference models and systems used by six independent industrial sectors. The research results provide a field tested method for deriving integrated logistics hub models in different manufacturing economies with notes that provide sufficient methodological detail for repeating the construction of logistics hubs in other manufacturing economies.Scenarios for the logistics services industry: A Delphi-based analysis for 2025 2025年的未来物流服务趋向：产业分析报告The logistics services industry will be significantly affected by future developments throughout the world. Therefore, developing future scenarios is an important basis for long-term strategy development. Nevertheless, research exposes that there is a lack of awareness among logistics researchers and practitioners about future scenarios. In this paper, we apply scenario planning and present the findings of an extensive Delphi-based scenario study on the future of the logistics services industry in the year 2025. The major contribution of our research is the development of probable and unforeseen scenarios of the future which may provide a valuable basis for strategy development in the logistics services industry.A new location-inventory policy with reverse logistics applied to B2C e-markets of China中国电子二手市场的回收物流仓库建设选址策略应用分析Based on the characteristics of consumer purchasing behavior over business-to-consumer (B2C) electronic markets in China,we consider a supply chain with one supplier, one B2C firm and multipledistribution centers(DCs) to jointly study supply chain location and inventory policies when product returns are allowed for. A new location-inventory policy is proposed and modeled as a bi-level programming problem: The upper level determines appropriate locations of third checking sites (3CS), and the lower level presents a coordinated inventory replenishment QS_R policy in light of the 3CS locations. An abstract network based on a B2C firm in China is adopted to illustrate the proposed model. We find that a QS_R policy is more effective on inventory control than the independent control policy is; 3CS added into the network improves the B2C firm's profit, and sensitivity analysis provides interesting managerial insights into the B2C firm's profit improvement in China.Keywords: China; Reverse logistics; B2C; Coordinated inventory policy; Bi-level programming交通运输与城市Transport, UrbanAn urban transport system considers all elements of transportation, including the infrastructure, rolling stock, and traffic flows, in a city as a functioning entity. The interrelationships among different system components are emphasized. As a result of the high concentration of human activities within a limited space, urban traffic congestion, especially at the commercial and business districts, is prevalent in all large cities worldwide. Both supply- and demand-oriented strategies have been implemented to tackle the congestion problems. At the city-wide level, transit-oriented development has been promoted to encourage passengers to use public transport more often and to reduce their reliance on private automobiles. Last but not least, urban freight transport constitutes an important component of the urban transport system. Careful planning of the urban goods movement is necessary to ensure the economic vitality of the urban economy on the one hand and to contribute to sustainable urban transport on the other.Author Keywords: Alternative fuel vehicles; Automobile-oriented development; Congestion pricing; Just-in-time delivery; Land use; Location efficient strategy; Mass transit systems; Paratransit; Smart growth; Sustainable urban transport; Transit-oriented development; Transport demand management; Urban freight distribution system; Walkable communities交通运输与全球化Transport and GlobalizationGlobalization depends upon transport. That dependence can be seen in history as the evolution and change in patterns of urban settlement can be closely linked to the structure and organization of the transport system in place at any particular time. In particular, this effect has been felt in the development of gateway cities and hubs, places where global transport services are concentrated. Along with these global transport services come national and regional connections, as well as the management, organization, maintenance, and repair skills, which add layer upon layer to the functions and influence of the gateway or hub. That outcome is perhaps best illustrated in the role of London in the global economy, a role that is reflected in the key role of its airports, and still includes a powerful influence over the management and direction of sea transport, even after the closure of its port activity. Within cities too, globalization has been imprinted through transport, often initially around the port and harbor, then in the service activity of the CBD and more recently around the airport. This imprint is embellished as the global gateways and hubs play a special role in logistics, which requires large storage and intermodal facilities. These facilities seek out space on the edge of the cities, usually concentratedin particular near sea, road, and rail routes. Hence, globalization and transport are deeply intertwined and one cannot be understood without the other.Author Keywords: Airports; Containerisation; Distribution Centres; Gateway cities; Global cities; Globalisation; Hubs; Intermodal; Seaports; Service sector; Transport corridors; Transport。
