Abstract

The classification of topics into switchpoints of uncertainty, switchpoints of opinion-spread and trends provides a useful indication how a topic should be considered in the strategic planning of a company. Based on this classification “lessons learned” should be an individual matter for each specific company. Nevertheless, the study closes with a short discussion of an issue that may have a decisive impact on the long-term development of the Logistics industry. This discussion posits the idea that it may be preferable or even necessary for most players in the Logistics industry to support the fast enforcement of strict regulations that accelerates the development of more efficient transportation technologies. Failure to do so could reinforce countless trends and developments that, in the long run, will reduce and substitute the overall need for transportation on the customers’ side – and thereby will significantly reduce the volume and overall growth prospects for the Logistics market.
