Industrial Clusters And Ssi Development, Mukesh Gulati Oct 1997

Industrial Clusters And Ssi Development, Mukesh Gulati

IIMB Management Review

Since Independence, Small Scale Industries (SSIs), have been playing a stellar role in the economic development of the country. SSIs account for more than a third of the total manufacturing output and generate almost 35 per cent of the country's exports. Importantly, they provide employment to more than ten million Indians. With the onset of economic liberalisation in the country-since 1991- even SSIs have been trying to redefine their role and adapt effectively to the changing macro-economic environment, where market forces are calling the tune.

Some Challenges Facing Logistics Education At The New Millennium, Benjamin J. Allen, Richard F. Poist Sep 1997

Some Challenges Facing Logistics Education At The New Millennium, Benjamin J. Allen, Richard F. Poist

Journal of Transportation Management

Although the future of logistics looks bright as the new millennium approaches, logistics programs in higher education face significant changes and challenges. This article examines six challenges—three challenges facing business education in general and three challenges directly and uniquely facing logistics education. Five propositions about the future of logistics education are developed. For logistics education, particularly the traditional logistics programs, the years after the new millennium will be both the best of times and the worst of times.

An Examination Of Risk And Resource Sharing Behavior Between Ltl Trucking Companies And Warehouse Providers, Joe B. Hanna, David J. Bloomberg Sep 1997

An Examination Of Risk And Resource Sharing Behavior Between Ltl Trucking Companies And Warehouse Providers, Joe B. Hanna, David J. Bloomberg

Journal of Transportation Management

Increased demand for third-party logistics providers who can offer multiple services to their customers has encouraged many entities to explore innovative ways to expand service offerings. The current research examines Class I LTL motor carriers who have expanded their services to include warehousing. While there are several ways to achieve a service expansion into warehousing, the current research focuses on firms who have elected to expand by creating a strategic alliance type relationship with an external warehouse provider. The research examines carriers attitudes about risk and resource sharing in the alliance relationship. The results indicate that carriers are moderately receptive …

Nafta, Motor Carriers And Highway Safety, Kathryn Dobie, William A. Cunningham Sep 1997

Nafta, Motor Carriers And Highway Safety, Kathryn Dobie, William A. Cunningham

Journal of Transportation Management

The signing of the NAFTA agreement signaled the beginning of increased efforts to harmonize trade between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Unfortunately the harmonization of transportation links is lagging far behind proposed implementation dates. This narrative describes the highway safety, and concerns expressed by highway safety advocates and Teamsters union representatives, and documented by the GAO. The authors propose a market based alternative to restricting transborder traffic to the narrow commercial zone presently in place.

What Is A Logistics Analyst? A Perspective From One British University On Increasing Student Awareness And Knowledge Of Logistics Education And Career Opportunities, John Dinwoodie Sep 1997

What Is A Logistics Analyst? A Perspective From One British University On Increasing Student Awareness And Knowledge Of Logistics Education And Career Opportunities, John Dinwoodie

Journal of Transportation Management

Many sophomore Transport students at a British university were unfamiliar with the role of the logistics analyst. This paper discusses the current extent of student knowledge of some employment roles within intermodal distribution and the processes by which students acquire an understanding of it,providing new information for logistics teachers and career advisors. Qualitative analysis of student descriptions of relevant roles revealed a schema whereby concepts evolved, enabling a teaching package to be devised which accelerated the learning process. The assistance of practitioners, and similar studies by other academics are needed in attempting to raise the awareness of future students.

The Future Of The Third Sector, Roger A. Lohmann Sep 1997

The Future Of The Third Sector, Roger A. Lohmann

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

The U.S. "nonprofit sector" and other forms of contemporary national third sectors which are currently spreading around the world arose in a unique historical moment and for distinct historical reasons and are unlikely to outlast that moment in history. Voluntary action on the other hand has deep roots reaching far back in human history and is likely to be around far into the future.

The Impact Of Downsizing On Logistics Performance And Employees In Shipper Firms, Ronald D. Anderson, Roger E. Jerman, Michael R. Crum Apr 1997

The Impact Of Downsizing On Logistics Performance And Employees In Shipper Firms, Ronald D. Anderson, Roger E. Jerman, Michael R. Crum

Journal of Transportation Management

Firms that downsize hope to achieve improvements in performance and to avoid adverse impacts on employees. This article compares the changes in logistics performance and logistics employee fulfillment for shippers that have downsized with those that have not. Two major conclusions of this research are: (1) Respondent firms that have downsized perceive that they have substantially improved their logistics performance, but no more so than respondent firms that have not downsized; and (2) Stress, morale, and loyalty have worsened for logistics employees in downsized respondent firms, both in an absolute sense and relative to respondent firms that have not downsized.

The Jones Act: It Is Time For Reform, Richard L. Clarke Apr 1997

The Jones Act: It Is Time For Reform, Richard L. Clarke

Journal of Transportation Management

The Jones Act was passed in 1920 as an amendment to the Merchant Marine Act. Its initial purpose was to protect a rail monopoly operating between the state of Washington and the territory of Alaska. It restricted transportation between U.S. ports to U.S. built, owned, registered and crewed vessels. Over the past 77 years it has become very controversial. This paper examines its costs and benefits and concludes that the Jones Act is indeed in need of major reform.

Characteristics Of The Market For International Airfreight In Intermodal Logistics, Forrest E. Harding Apr 1997

Characteristics Of The Market For International Airfreight In Intermodal Logistics, Forrest E. Harding

Journal of Transportation Management

Shipper insights and opinions regarding the characteristics of the market for international airfreight in intermodal logistics were explored in this study. The methodology utilized was focus group research. The findings suggest that shippers’ intermodal airfreight decisions are driven by weight and time sensitivity; that the strength of an organization’s information system, especially in relation to tracking and tracing capabilities, is the most important category of service; that shippers respond very positively to personalized service; and that shipper selection of integrators and/or freight forwarders is destination specific. The research confirms the increasing competitiveness of the intermodal logistics market and suggests that …

The Investment And Marketing Of Transload Facilities: A Statistical Evaluation, Barton Jennings, Mary Collins Holcomb Apr 1997

The Investment And Marketing Of Transload Facilities: A Statistical Evaluation, Barton Jennings, Mary Collins Holcomb

Journal of Transportation Management

This paper examines the basic relationships which shippers, carriers, and facility operators have developed in the design and operation of bulk intermodal facilities, or transload terminals. The analysis is based on 349 truck-served transload facilities throughout the United States. The facilities are examined for commodity types being handled and the types of handling equipment being used. The results demonstrate a strong relationship between certain handling procedures and commodity types. Additionally, the size and volume of the facilities are related by commodity types and the number of rail spots. Finally, the specialization or dedication of a large number of facilities to …
