Economic Influences on Logistics help learners relate economic forces to costing, pricing and operating logistics operations within a business enterprise. Learners will gain a deeper understanding of macroeconomic trends, government intervention, and how to capitalize on microeconomic levers. And they’ll know how to use that knowledge to make seemingly uncontrollable influences on supply chain profitability much more predictable—and survivable.
Economic Influences on Logistics is recommended for buyers or suppliers of transportation services or anyone involved in pricing decisions, supply planning, demand or supply-chain capacity management.
