Looks at the impact of performance improvement initiatives on logistics people, as well as performance. Two of the most popular programs – EDI and outsourcing – have profound impact on people in logistics. Both outsourcing and EDI require cooperative relations to reach their full potential.

Thus, there is a pressing need in logistics to better understand (and manage) the impact of outsourcing and EDI on people.
