The 17 contributions to this collection identify key areas where e-logistics is a necessary consideration for effective logistics practices and where many systems are already substantially
embedded in operational activities. The authors explain the economic importance of logistics, the role of information and communications technology in air, rail, road, and sea freight
management, and the success of new technologies for fulfilling e-commerce orders. The closing chapters describe regional electronic marketplaces, single window systems, and end-to-end global
order management. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
