중소기업의 국제물류관리 - 제 3 자물류업자로서의 국제프레이트포워더 활용 - = International Logistics Management of the Small - and - Medium - sized Enterprises : Utilization of the International Freight Forwarder as the Third - party Service Provider

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The small-and-medium-sized enterprises(SME) may have the skill and expertise to perform all of the tasks required to reach overseas customers themselves. Such commitment requires that a great deal of knowledge, effort, and manpower be committed to each market in which the organization does or wants to do business. However, the SMEs may have management that lack the experience or confidence to launch and support a international logistics effort on their own. Rather, they rely on different kinds of intermediaries and facilitators to help them reach the international logistics. The use of third-parties(i.e. freight forwarders) for international logistics involving ocean or air transport and so on was quite common. However, increasing corporate emphasis on such concepts as the integrated logistics management has led many companies to consider outsourcing the entire logistics process or, more commonly, selected activities within that process.
