The Development of Electronic Markets in Logistics

Abstract

Logistics integration through market systems is the coming revolution in supply chain management. A number of systems have been attempted facilitating documentation exchange, matching of supply and demand, and providing other essential links and information. However, such systems have had limited success raising important questions about whether a truly useful global system can be developed. In this article, we conceptualize development of an all‐inclusive system termed the Logistics Brokerage System.
