Emerging markets hold the key to the development of the global logistics
industry over the next 20 years. Whilst developed economies struggle to
come to terms with huge levels of debt, newly industrialized markets are
showing strong growth prospects as manufacturers and investors look at
low-cost production locations. Essential reading for anyone involved in
emerging markets or global logistics, Logistics and Supply Chains in
Emerging Markets is the definitive guide to maximising opportunities
in emerging markets. This book explores the inherent challenges for
global logistics providers when investing and operating in
widely-dispersed and sometimes unstable emerging markets.
Taking into account the social, economic, and political context, John
Manners-Bell, Thomas Cullen, and Cathy Roberson guide you
through the key considerations and provide a realistic evaluation of the
infrastructures in place to support expansion in emerging markets.
Logistics and Supply Chains in Emerging Markets analyses prospects
for Asia, Latin America, Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East,
including the potential of future logistics hotspots. There are
dedicated sections on the BRIC transport and logistics sectors.
Supported by a unique downloadable survey of 800 top executives,
Logistics and Supply Chains in Emerging Markets gives you
unrivalled access to top executives' evaluation of which emerging
markets have the greatest potential to become future logistics hotspots,
and how they integrate with global supply chains now and in the future.
