This book, edited by Thorsten Blecker and Wolfgang Kersten, is exemplifying the current progress in complexity management. Separate chapters are dedicated to clarify complexity management in transportation, networks and supply chains. It offers important insights of global and flexible network modelling to manage complexity, complexity in supply chains – developing human resource strategy, performance measurement of green supply chain management, complexity in transportation by means of containers and air-cargos. The volume, written by well-known experts of supply chain management from all over the world, shows applicable solutions, practical examples and use cases to illustrate complexity management and its application in logistics and supply chain management. It presents the central perspectives for a modern complexity management in supply chains.

In the future process and service innovations will gain further importance in practice and research. Even today, market winners need them to obtain advantage in competition. In this context logistics and supply chain management are key enablers. Innovations in these areas will allow supply chains to increase their efficiency significantly and help to create further innovations in different areas. This volume, edited by Wolfgang Kersten, Thorsten Blecker and Cornelius Herstatt provides insights into new concepts and innovations in the areas of logistics management concepts, supply chain planning and design, supply chain management driven innovations, risk and sustainability management and regional innovations for logistics. The book for ambitious innovators in logistics! In addition, it offers valuable insights into the status of logistic supply chain management for lecturers and students.
