Features: "Logistics Management" as an emerging discipline has grown rapidly, and research on logistics management theory has gained increasing attention from both domestic and international academia and industry. However, there are relatively few works on logistics management theory research so far, especially those that combine China's national conditions with international standards and feature innovative modern logistics management theories. The authors dedicate this book, "Introduction to Modern Logistics Management," to their fellow colleagues in logistics theory and practice, with the aim of contributing to the advancement of China's logistics industry. The publication of this book is both a bold attempt by the authors to apply systematic principles to logistics management research and a summary and extension of two decades of achievements in logistics management teaching, research, and practice. The book is divided into four parts covering 15 topics. In terms of content arrangement, it is characterized by novelty, practicality, rigorous structure, detailed information, and strong systematicity. The book presents views such as the basic principles and implementation approaches of commercial logistics separation, the establishment of systematic and rational logistics system models, ideas for logistics system reform, optimization models for transportation routes and flow, research on storage optimization models, studies on logistics development trends, and theoretical research on third-party logistics, which have been published in national and provincial academic journals and demonstrate certain theoretical innovation.
