Overview: Few logistics service providers have the resources to meet, on their own, all the global service demands of today’s multinational businesses. Through partnerships and strategic alliances, however, logistics providers are creating virtual global distribution networks that offer a seamless, one-stop array of services to companies that have a growing desire to outsource the functions. Marketing and business development executives constantly have their antennae tuned to business opportunities, and the organization’s senior staff has an ongoing dialogue about network expansion, discussing opportunities, they see on their respective continents and then prioritizing an action plan. As a result, it is critical to choose network partners carefully and methodically and to balance the strengths of those prospective partners with the customer’s service requirements, particularly when selecting transport partners.
