<Cover>
This book uses maps and diagrams to clearly explain the often-invisible mechanisms of logistics, global logistics hubs and transportation routes, and the strategies and challenges of various countries.
This book covers important contemporary topics such as the "2024 problem," the "Suez Canal accident," and "autonomous driving technology," and is structured to help readers easily understand the workings (true nature) of international society and the global economy by examining the flow of goods (bloodstream).
This book uses numerous maps and illustrations to explain the "flow of goods" in an intuitive way. A notable feature is its comprehensive coverage of the latest trending technologies, such as autonomous driving and logistics DX. It also delves into the unique characteristics and rules of logistics in Japan, an island nation, while taking into account global logistics trends.
The book is supervised by Seiji Onozuka, partner at Roland Berger. His recent works include "Understanding Logistics," "Logistics 4.0," and "Supply Web" (all published by Nikkei BP), and "DX Business Model" (Impress).
