Logistics Developments Impacting Horizontal Collaboration

In the previous chapter we have introduced four major trends that are observed in virtually all countries and industries. In this section we zoom in on recent developments specifically within the logistics industry that impact the formation and success of horizontal collaborative initiatives. The holistic supply chain point of view we take in this report implies that we also investigate how logistics processes are (or perhaps should) be impacted by urbanization, security concerns, automation, the sharing economy, etc. And we will study how these developments impact logistics collaboration.
