DHL: From Startup to Global Upstart is the story of a startup that
became the first worldwide logistics service organization, fighting
regulation, trade restrictions, customs, and many other technical issues
to develop processes that have stood the test of time to become the
accepted norm in delivery throughout the world. It is a story of using
"soft powers," persuasion, and ingenuity, working with, and around,
emerging technologies to eliminate barriers to success. This book
provides an extraordinary look into how a little startup with grit and
perseverance succeeded in the face of overwhelming odds and
revolutionized many of what are now accepted transportation and supply
chain practices.
Po Chung, DHL International co-founder, and Roger Bowie, former DHL
Worldwide Services Director, discuss how DHL paved the way for one day
international package delivery and how they have maintained their global
leadership position against powerful American titans.
