Subject(s): Online resources: Abstract: Genom att arbeta med en vidgad systemsyn på logistiksystemet som omfattar såväl varuägare som logistikföretag, kan nya roller och andra möjligheter identifieras, som kan ge en mer hållbar utveckling och samtidigt stärka konkurrenskraften och lönsamheten hos såväl logistikföretag som varuägande företag.Abstract: The aim is to create and transfer knowledge on how logistics firms can improve their future competitiveness. Environmental and sustainability considerations will become more important in the future, and the project addresses how these aspects can be incorporated with other business goals. The project initially focuses the following areas: 1.Competitive business models for the logistics firms, where environmental and sustainability considerations enforce the market position and in a clear way become part of the offering to customers. 2. Controlling and measuring the environmental and sustainable development in the firm must be consistent from the company strategy (company board, strategic control measurements) throughout the activities (control and planning of flows and operations). 3. A business relevant financial evaluation of the effects of changing environmental effects, where models for describing environmental effects of alternative offerings in financial terms are developed. Maintaining a widened systems view of the logistics system of logistics companies as well as shippers, new roles and options can be identified that can promote a more sustainable development, and simultaneously strengthen the competitiveness among logistics firms as well as shippers.
