Most logistics activities are concentrated around what Europeans call “the logistics banana”, an area stretching from the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp through the Netherlands, Belgium, France and the western portion of Germany to the North of Italy.

But, as full members of the European Union, countries such as the Czech Republic, Hungary and even Poland are becoming interesting alternatives for regional distribution for these regions and even for distribution on a larger scale. European companies can expect major changes in both the short and the long term and obviously have to anticipate and respond to these developments.

European transport is expected to grow vigorously. Road transport will account for far the greatest amount of this increase, but the road congestion will force policy makers to seek for solutions in “modal shift”. This requires improving the European infrastructure, increasing multimodal transport and designing transport networks. It also requires a new approach towards transport in general.

The emergence of global trade logistics, together with China’s formal entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001, require not only a thorough knowledge of the country and its culture, but also a new logistics approach towards one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

In this course we will cover several aspects of “logistics management” as to the merging markets in Europe and the Far East. In an era of fast-growing international trade, it is essential for our country to remain one of the bigger players is the field and to contribute to the prosperity of Europe as a whole.
