Logistics Thought and Practice: A Perspective

Abstract

As business approaches the next century, numerous challenges and opportunities will be faced by logistics practitioners and academicians. New and expanded perpectives, coupled with the traditional concepts, will have to be blended. One perspective, and certainly not the only one, is presented. It is argued that people in logistics have generally taken a limited view of the discipline. If the area is to achieve the level of importance prophesised for it, academicians and practitioners will have to take a much broader and pervasive view of what logistics is and what it could become. Some questions are posed to those involved in the logistics process.
