This volume aims to fill a gap in the business literature by integrating cultural, functional and strategic aspects of global logistics. The authors combine diverse viewpoints to present a coherent perspective on contemporary global logistics from raw materials through production to the customer. Placing specific topics in logistics in the broader context of international trade and marketing issues, the authors describe diverse logistics function in detail, including: ocean, air, and surface carriers and systems; international sourcing; and the roles of government and intermediaries, giving the reader a solid foundation and ready reference of logistics information. They explore efficient approaches to financial aspects of logistics, such as terms of sale and payment and documentation and insurance, enabling the reader to minimize cost without compromising quality and speed. The authors demonstrate how to optimize international dealings by responding to cultural differences in the roles of personal relationships and written contracts in business; the application of local trade laws; and attitudes toward precision. This book also illustrates key points in action using examples.This resource should assist executives, managers, engineers, and technicians in implementing effective logistics strategies. It should also serve as an introduction to this increasingly important dimension of trade for engineering and business students. This book should be of interest to corporate and military logistics managers; import/export agents; students of marketing; and international business and management.

Both academia and the real world are showing a vastly increased interest in international logistics. Although this book covers the entire topic, it may not contain sufficient detail to answer all questions. The topic-and the challenge is much larger than any single book can cover! A number of people helped us, and their assistance should be recognized. They include Robert L. Argentieri, Eunice Coleman, Patricia J. Daugherty, Robert Derbin, Robert Hannus, Ken Knox, Douglas Long, Eugene L. Magad, Dale S. Rogers, Robert Rouse, John Silvey, and Clyde Kenneth Walter. This book is designed for both the business world and the classroom. A separate Instructor's Manual has been prepared and may be requested on school letterhead from Chapman & Hall. International Logistics 1 Introduction This book is about international logistics and the international logistics system. International means that it will deal with transactions involving indi viduals or firms in more than one nation. Logistics means the organized movement of goods, ser vices, and, sometimes, people. Logistics was originally a military term. For exam ple, in author Tom Clancy's novel, Red Storm Rising, Russian General Alekseyev thought to himself about a battlefield situation: "The tactics ... no, amateurs dis cuss tactics. Professional soldiers study logistics. ,,1 When one speaks of the intema tionallogistics system, he means that huge array of carriers, forwarders, bankers, traders, and so on that facilitate international transactions, trades, and movements of goods and services. Communications are important, and a logistics system in cludes whatever communication capability it needs.
