Center Publishes China Logistics Research
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Supply Chain Management Research Center at the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas teamed up with researchers in China to compare the macro-economic data of Chinese and American transportation volume and inventory costs.
The research was conducted by the Walton College center and the Development & Research Center of the State Post Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of Transportation and the Cainiao Smart Logistics Network Limited, an Alibaba affiliate.
The 2017 China Logistics Insights Report, reviews each country's detailed logistics costs as a percentage of gross domestic product. Findings compare the domestic China economy with cost details in the U.S. State of Logistics Report, insights on the differences and logistics trends and an outlook for the future.
This year's report focuses on e-commerce logistics trends.
