The theme of the 17th International Symposium of Logistics, New Horizons in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, reflects the changes taking place across the world today in terms of shifting supply and demand for both goods and services, taking as a backdrop China’s rapid rise, widely acknowledged now as the manufacturing hub of the world. Equally India is rapidly becoming the global services hub and other countries in the so-called ‘developing world’ are growing in confidence, infrastructure and capability. These changes have big implications for logistics and supply chain planning, representing a dynamic and interesting area of research and practice for both academics and practitioners alike. Proceedings are available online, with papers arranged under the following themes: Supply chain management; Supply chain networks, collaboration and culture; Supply chain performance assessment; Risk, uncertainty, complexity and visibility; Decision support systems, knowledge management and ICT in supply chains; Environmental sustainability and green logistics; Outsourcing and customer-supplier relationship management; Transport, distribution and third/fourth party logistics; Service supply chains and emerging markets.
