Summary: "There is a lot of discussion these days about traditional industries becoming less prominent, or even disappearing. The advent of new technology, above all the Internet, seems to be the key driver behind this. Traditional shipping companies are an example of this trend. In their place, we are seeing the emergence of logistics companies, of which sea transportation is only one part. Land transportation, warehousing, even packaging and the distribution of goods to the end consumer, are key features of these new-style companies. This has been made feasible through the development of closer and faster links between the players in a value chain. The traditional roles in such value chains are also changing. For example, many European manufacturers have now outsourced these to low-cost countries in Asia"--Provided by publisher

内容説明・目次

内容説明

Innovations are dramatically changing the traditionally conservative global ocean shipping industry as it works to become more efficient and more sustainable. Academic and former shipping company owner Peter Lorange is best placed to make sense of how to approach and keep ahead of these changes. This book explains what the key innovations are, how to ensure a return on investment, the barriers to innovation and how to overcome them. Drawing on a number of specialist case studies, Lorange outlines the specific analytical and decision-making steps to consider and the actions to take to arrive at a new strategic blueprint for modern shipping companies. This book is invaluable for practising shipping company executives, advanced students of shipping, logistics, port management and maritime economics, and investors deciding whether to invest in a particular shipping firm.
