Features: To enable a broad range of corporate management personnel and logistics professionals to understand and master the fundamental knowledge and operational methods of modern logistics, we have organized experts and scholars from the theoretical research community of higher education institutions, as well as logistics managers and logistics practitioners from the field of logistics management and operations, to write this book. The book is divided into four parts—Modern Logistics Basics, Modern Logistics Operations, Modern Logistics Management, and International Logistics Practice—with a total of fifteen chapters. It elaborates on the foundational knowledge and development trends of modern logistics; explains the operational knowledge and methods of modern logistics activities such as procurement, storage and preservation, packaging, loading and unloading, distribution processing, distribution, and transportation; discusses the methods and strategies of modern logistics management, customer service management, and logistics information management; and teaches the operational practices of international logistics. Additionally, each chapter is enriched with links, case studies, discussions, and analyses to make the content more systematic, practical, and targeted. This book is suitable for corporate management personnel, especially the business staff of logistics companies, for learning and reference, as well as for universities and logistics training departments as teaching materials and reference books.
