Why is Memphis home to hundreds of motor carrier terminals and distribution centers? Why does the tiny island-nation of Singapore handle a fifth of the world's maritime containers and half the world's annual supply of crude oil? Which jobs can replace lost manufacturing jobs in advanced economies? Some of the answers to these questions are rooted in the phenomenon of logistics clusters—geographically concentrated sets of logistics-related business activities. In this book, supply chain management expert Yossi Sheffi explains why Memphis, Singapore, Chicago, Rotterdam, Los Angeles, and scores of other locations have been successful in developing such clusters while others have not. Sheffi outlines the characteristic “positive feedback loop” of logistics clusters development and what differentiates them from other industrial clusters; how logistics clusters “add value” by generating other industrial activities; why firms should locate their distribution and value-added activities in logistics clusters; and the proper role of government support, in the form of investment, regulation, and trade policy. Sheffi also argues for the most important advantage offered by logistics clusters in today's recession-plagued economy: jobs, many of them open to low-skilled workers, that are concentrated locally and not “offshorable.” These logistics clusters offer what is rare in today's economy: authentic success stories. For this reason, numerous regional and central governments as well as scores of real estate developers are investing in the development of such clusters.

It turns the know how of modern day logistics into plain English. The author has proven himself to be very knowledgeable in the subject as there are details, examples, and analogies of how goods get from A to B today. Review: Sheffi's book is a terrific resource on logistics clusters, easily understandable - Fascinating look at logistics clusters and what they mean for business and industry actors located nearby, or considering where to locate. Important reading for those seeking careers in logistics, or in those businesses dependent on logistics. Understanding geographic opportunity is an important component, and very interesting are the chapters on the business opportunities that come from understanding movement of materials and goods, and the transportation channels used. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #485,210 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #94 in Business Infrastructure #333 in Management Science #3,582 in Business Management (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 40 Reviews | ## Images ![Logistics Clusters: Delivering Value and Driving Growth (Mit Press) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71m9WSOJ8PL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Logistics, intuitively explained *by S***S on June 17, 2013* This book was a fun read for my college Logistics class.
