ABSTRACT
As we progress through the early part of the twenty-first century the pattern of international trade and services is one of continuous change and challenge. It is becoming more complex and driven by many elements on a global basis. Today, companies and their entrepreneurs engaged on the global business network formulate a strategic approach to conduct their business based on a logistics focus. This embraces supply chain management operations both in material/goods and nonmaterial/service industries. It includes business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C).
