Features: The author, Professor Wang Zhitai, is one of the founders of China's modern logistics industry. Over the decades, he has dedicated himself to academic research, not only cultivating numerous talents in the fields of logistics education, research, and enterprises, but also producing many highly valuable academic papers and monographs. He has also directly participated in multiple government and corporate logistics planning, making significant contributions to the development of China's logistics industry. In 1995, when the predecessor of this book, Modern Logistics, was published, the concept of modern logistics was still largely unknown to the public, and logistics research faced criticism and a precarious fate. The publication of this book made great contributions to China's logistics education and research and won numerous awards. With the deepening public understanding of logistics and the rise of the logistics boom, the demand for this book has remained strong, leading to multiple reprints. In the 21st century, China's logistics industry entered a new period of development, and logistics theory became increasingly mature and refined. In this new environment, the author spent two years revising the book and renamed it Modern Logistics: A New Edition. This book establishes a completely new structure, based on revisions to the original version, adding a wealth of recent developments in the logistics field. It also incorporates the author's latest research findings and insights gained from practical logistics experience. The book is divided into 28 chapters, covering the main content of the logistics discipline, reflecting its development trajectory and overall scope. The structure is complete and meticulous, with theoretical explanations complementing practical guidance. It is richly illustrated, clear, and concise, making it an excellent book that combines timeliness, authority, theoretical depth, and practicality. It is not only suitable for industry professionals to study but also serves as a valuable reference book for consultation and collection.
