The effects are among other things that routes of transportation become\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elonger, product life cycles shorten, and the requisite for the availability of goods and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eservices increases (Christopher, 2005, pp. 207). Keeping this in mind, the logistics industry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eis one of the fastest growing industries world-wide and benefitted in particular of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethis shift towards a globalized world. Even though logistics as such has prevailed over a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elong time, it has been only recently that the industry has received an enormous boost\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edue to the global adherence and new technical developments. It was mainly because of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe standardized container that this accretion, and globalization itself, could happen. But\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ealso the ¿New Economy¿ accelerated this growth to a significant extent by introducing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecomputers and telecommunication media, and thereby established a dynamic, high\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecompetitive and world-spanning market. At the same time, companies demand more\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand more premium solutions from logistic service providers1 in order to cope with the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecompetitive environment. The importance of the innovative and crucial factor of telecommunication\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etechnology (TT) in this specific sector can therefore not be denied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore importantly, it is of significant matter to have an understanding, as well as knowing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehow to implement and take advantage of these technologies, in order to gain or\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emaintain a competitive edge over rivaling companies. (Christopher, 2005, p. 9).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe objective of this paper is therefore to describe the impact which modern and innovative\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTTs can have on the logistics sector. In order to pursue this goal, it is important\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto focus on three points: the understanding of several TTs which are of use for commercial\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eusage, their effects on logistic issues, and the linkage of these two points to practical\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexamples as they can be found today. Due to the fact that the area of logistics spans a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elot of different modalities and areas, like passenger logistics or document logistics, the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efocus will lie on container cargo shipment, exemplary for the drivers of this industry. In\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eaddition, particularly this field of logistics makes already, and has great potential to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emake, use of TTs for improvements in its field of activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783638924498\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783638924498","offer_id":39427975512157,"sku":"9783638924498","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d4bf59b1-c3dd-4d7c-a6cd-59b088e4a23a.jpg?v=1777442859","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-impact-of-innovative-telecommunication-technologies-on-the-logistics-sector-von-niklas-jeschke","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
