Organization of the logistic chain in the Chinese international trade I. INTRODUCTION The continuous growth of international trade between China and Europe has boosted the volume of containerized cargo directed to Europe and thereby the need of logistic services and transportation infrastructures both in China and Europe. In addition, shippers in China have to deal with increasing requirements and expectations coming from more demanding European markets as well as with the need to achieve more cost-efficient logistic chains to maintain the profitability of product manufacturing or sourcing in China. On the other hand, logistic and transport operators are becoming global not only in their geographical scope but also in the range of services they provide. This rapidly evolving scenario where inter-dependencies between players are growing as fast as competition between them, is however constraint to go towards a scenario of collaboration to achieve together a more reliable, fast, cost-efficient and integrated logistic chain that supports the flow of goods between China and Europe. The Port of Barcelona Chair of Logistics in CEIBS has been engaged to conduct a research to explore the organization of the logistic chain in the Chinese international trade with Europe. The results are aimed to: � Provide a general overview of the logistic industry in China and specifically of the hinterland of Shanghai. � Identify the major export flows from China to Europe and the main industries and companies involved. � Portray the decision-making stages along the logistic chain and the criteria involved. Identify the major players and how their own evolving scenario are impacting the structure and operating of the logistic chain. To achieve this knowledge, both a qualitative and a quantitative research have been accomplished through: � Secondary research and related conferences attendance � 17 personal in-depth interviews with key players, shippers and logistic and transport operators, � A survey plus a phone interview has been conducted to 14 companies manufacturing in or sourcing from China and with important European markets. Many more companies have been approached but discarded because they didn’t meet the requirements. CEIBS Port of Barcelona Chair of Logistics 2
