Identification of Factors Influencing the Construction of Supply Chains in China’s Transport and Logistics Systems

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to find approaches to identifying factors influencing the construction of supply chains in China’s transport and logistics systems, which is becoming especially relevant in the context of the country’s «new economy» dictated by the active development of digital technologies, e-commerce and changing consumer behavior. Based on a multidimensional analytical review of scientific sources, the classification of internal and external factors affecting supply chain management in China’s transportation and logistics systems is substantiated. The author’s configuration of these factors is proposed, taking into account regional differences, and the structure of the factor field is formed. The result of the research from a scientific point of view was an assessment of the functional effectiveness of supply chain management from the perspective of traditional factors such as natural resources, capital, labor and land, as well as transformational and transactional, including human (skills, qualifications, knowledge), scientific and technological (research, innovation, technology) and material (infrastructure, equipment, materials) factors. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the formation of a configuration of internal and external factors affecting supply chain management in China’s transport and logistics systems, taking into account regional differences. The results of the work include the development of recommendations aimed at optimizing logistics processes, diversifying risks and adapting to changing conditions in the global market.
