Session 3 - Will logistics considerations limit globalisation?
In the past we have discussed how logistics was the enabler for globalisation -
without good logistics, can one source parts from competitive markets or export cars
to developing countries? Because of poor infrastructure, overcapacity of trade lanes,
security issues, cost of transportation, logistics can become the limitation to logistics.
