This article considers thc perennial topic of how to achieve an equilibrium balance between stability and competition in intermodal shipping. It argues that competition is becoming destructive, but that the imbalance is difficult to correct in a climate where competitive pressures are strong everywhere and restraints on competition are unfashionable. In this context, pricing of intermodal servi…
Drawing from knowledge-based view and balanced scorecard approach, this study seeks to develop an integrative model to examine the influence of two knowledge management (KM) strategies, codification KM strategy and personalization KM strategy, on the multi-stage KM evolution (KM adoption, implementation and institutionalization stages), which in turn affects balanced scorecard outcomes (financi…
The theory was shown to explain the behavior of port stakeholders in improving competitiveness by balancing the need to attract new customers with that of attracting new investors when making decisions, which can often be contradictory. The analysis showed significant effects for the 5 variables of Volume Competitiveness and the 5 variables of Investment Competitiveness.
The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine what senior supply chain executives measure and how they perceive performance measurement from a balanced scorecard (BSC) perspective.
This article presents an effort to study the complex problem that arises when balanced allocation is integrated with vehicle routing decisions in a logistics network. This integrated problem is frequently encountered in many logistics networks that maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of available warehouses and distribution centers. After modeling the balanced allocation vehicle routing p…
Indonesia recorded a trade surplus of USD4.4bn in H115, following a larger dip in imports relative to exports. The slowdown in import volume growth could be an indicator of sluggish growth in the industrial sector. However, as government-backed infrastructure projects enter the construction phase over the coming quarters, imports should start to pick up, and we expect the trade surplus to narro…
Indonesia's current account balance will benefit from its widening trade surplus, which should allow the deficit to narrow to 2.4% and 1.8% of GDP in 2015 and 2016, respectively. However, as the trade surplus has largely been the result of a deeper contraction in imports relative to exports, it reflects poor investor appetite and sluggish industrial activity, which will weigh on economic growth.
Despite the relevance of financial information relating to logistics service providers (LSPs), recent research has paid little attention to the financial analysis of LSPs. The aim of this paper is to examine the balance sheet structure of LSPs in order to find out if there are differences between single providers or defined LSP groups (clusters), respectively. Furthermore, the dependency of ass…
The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a balanced scorecard (BSC) for flight line maintenance (MX) activities in the US Air Force .
The purpose of this paper is to share the design and testing procedure of the ‘‘Development Indicator Tool’’ – a tool developed by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to guide and monitor the continuous performance improvement of their (regional) logistics unit(s) on a daily basis.
