Abstract
The current trend of changes in global business is highlighting the importance of logistics in the development of Third World business and industries. Literature reveals that many of these Third World nations lack logistics facilities; the task of developing a good logistics system in these nations is quite challenging. Attempts to understand these challenges by looking at Bangladesh, a new entrant from the Third World in the globalization race. Based on a survey of the country’s logisticians, identifies five broad challenges facing logistics development in Bangladesh and proposes a schematic model that integrates efforts of, and inputs from, four sources to solve these problems. Argues that the proposed model is also adaptable in other developing nations.
