Chapter 3 in Port-Focal Logistics and Global Supply Chains, 2014, pp 32-57 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter reviews the mainstream supply chain and logistics studies, which are mainly firm-focal. After that, it will investigate the operations management of global supply chains, together with global outsourcing as an operational driver towards port-focal supply chain and trade logistics. Finally, it will study the operations management of port-focal supply chain and trade logistics, the concept of environment heterogeneity being identified as an important missing factor in the development of ports, logistics and supply chains.
