Features: "The economics of network-based basic industries is an important component and academic frontier of industrial economics theory. It holds significant practical implications for advancing the reform of these natural monopoly industries. The 'Economics of Network-Based Basic Industries' series edited by the School of Economics and Management, Northern Jiaotong University, is timely and innovative, representing the national-level key discipline and academic standards of the university in this field." Logistics organizations come in various forms, with substantial differences among different periods and enterprises, and there is no unified organizational model. Various organizational forms are also continuously evolving. This book begins with the general theory of enterprise organization, arguing that the specialization of labor theory in new classical economics can effectively analyze different organizational forms. It proposes replacing the concept of enterprise boundaries with organizational boundaries and analyzes the reasons for the existence and changes of various logistics organizations. Additionally, it provides relevant policy recommendations based on the current state of logistics organizations in China. This book is suitable for university teachers, graduate students, upper-level undergraduate economics majors, as well as logistics research personnel and industry professionals as a reference.
