Logistics is concerned with the distribution and storage of goods. The imminent institution of the Single European market and the recent changes in Eastern Europe have had profound consequences for logistics in Europe. This book examines the current status of logistics and its likely future role. It shows how the needs of manufacturers and retailers are being altered, how the provides of logistic services - carriers, freight forwarders and information technology companies - are coping, and considers the rise of the mega carriers.
