Abstract

Learning Objectives Logistics plays a huge part in improving a company’s competitive position. In many cases it is prerequisite for the creation of new business fields and for opening up additional markets. This chapter deals with various existing business models in the industry, trade, and service sectors; with the main focus on the logistical requirements and structures, which will be further explained through some exemplary industry solutions. In particular, the chapter illustrates the effects on logistics resulting from internationalization and globalization, from increasing division of labor and the forms of collaboration caused by this, and from new procurement concepts and sales channels brought about by e-commerce. The reader will gain insights into the consequences business decisions can have on logistics – and why the functions of logistics should be taken into account at an early planning stage.
