The book benefits from the author's many years of experience as a global logistics expert.

The downturn of 2008/9 has heralded a new era of regional trade and changing business models, alongside continued intercontinental trade. This book, from a world expert, unravels and explains the massive complexity of services, segments, geographies and technologies that will be needed to adapt to a new normal. It will be a huge help in anchoring their thinking." * Alan Braithwaite, Chairman, LCP Consulting and Visiting Professor, Cranfield School of Management *
