Truck-Sharing in Road Freight Transport
How can logistics companies use truck-sharing to boost efficiency and flexibility in freight transport operations? This book is the first to present a comprehensive concept for the application of sharing economy principles to road freight transport. Despite mounting pressure on the industry, including driver shortage, tight margins and efficiency deficits, shared mobility remains largely untapped in freight transport. This book introduces truck-sharing as a new strategic approach for unlocking underutilised capacity and increasing operational flexibility. The analysis is grounded in real-world practice, integrating the engaged scholarship approach with backcasting methodology to explore use cases, implementation drivers and barriers, and strategic implications. It integrates insights from horizontal cooperation and the sharing economy into a forward-looking, design-oriented framework tailored for logistics decision-makers. Addressing transport operators, researchers, and policymakers, this book offers clear, actionable recommendations showing how truck-sharing can reduce costs, downtime, and environmental impact. It sets a new direction for more efficient and collaborative freight transport across Europe.
Artificial Intelligence for Logistics 5.0
There is no shortage of hype about artificial intelligence, especially in recent years. We have only begun to touch the surface of what this powerful technology can do. As technology and logistics services have become increasingly intertwined, it has become more difficult to cut through the noise and figure out what really matters. While there are already several books on AI for business in general, this title provides a tailored overview of what AI means specifically for logistics services, a highly regulated but also disruptive industry. It cuts through the hype and examines the current state of AI applications in the logistics industry, as well as the state of funding and partnerships between technology and industry companies. AI is essential to drive innovation, create efficiencies and increase productivity to capitalize on opportunities, both for established logistics companies and enterprises. However, it also carries risks and the potential for biases that will deepen systemic inequalities if responsible AI is not operationalized. Therefore, it is imperative for academics, executives, managers and logistics service provider organizations to approach AI mindfully, reflectively and responsibly so that they can make informed decisions about and with AI in their work. This book takes a detailed look at the use cases in the logistics services industry as well as the risks and opportunities. It answers pressing questions such as: How can you effectively balance innovation, customer centricity and trust with AI in the logistics industry? Can smaller companies take advantage of this solution? How can institutions use AI responsibly while mitigating potential challenges related to data bias? It will be of great interest to academics in the fields of logistics and innovation strategy as well as practitioners and policy makers.

Optimized Garment Production Planning
In the context of global garment manufacturing, companies face significant challenges due to high import tariffs, particularly those imposed on goods produced in China. This has prompted manufacturers to explore innovative strategies, such as separating the Outward Processing Assembly (OPA) of garment sewing parts, which involves producing components in China and completing final assembly in other Asian countries. This study investigates the complexities of production planning within this framework, focusing on optimizing assembly costs while addressing constraints related to labor, machine capacity, and regulatory policy.Current production planning practices often lead to inefficiencies, including surplus and shortage capacities across factories, resulting in increased costs and late deliveries. To tackle these issues, this research employs stochastic linear programming algorithms to formulate a multistage production planning model aimed at minimizing total assembly costs while ensuring timely delivery of garments.
Impact of Taxation Policies on International Freight and Logistics
International freight logistics is a crucial component of global trade, significantly impacted by the taxation policies of each country involved in cross-border transactions. These tax policies encompass a wide range of areas such as tariffs, duties, VAT (Value Added Tax), sales tax, fuel taxes, environmental levies, and corporate taxation, all of which play a significant role in the operational cost structure of logistics providers. The taxation policies directly affect the price of goods transported internationally, influencing the competitive landscape of logistics companies in global markets. For example, the cost structure of logistics operations in countries with high tariffs and strict tax regulations may cause substantial cost burdens, which are often passed down to consumers, increasing the overall cost of international goods. Freight and logistics systems form the backbone of international trade, ensuring the efficient movement of goods and services across borders. However, discrepancies in tax policies across different countries can create a complex web of challenges for businesses engaged in cross-border trade.

The Cybersecurity Handbook
The workplace landscape has evolved dramatically over the past few decades, and with this transformation comes an ever-present threat: cybersecurity risks. In a world where digital incidents can lead to not just monetary loss but also reputational damage and legal ramifications, corporate governance must adapt. "The Cybersecurity: A Handbook for Board Members and C-Suite Executives " seeks to empower Board members and C-Suite executives to understand, prioritize, and manage cybersecurity risks effectively. The central theme of the book is that cybersecurity is not just an IT issue but a critical business imperative that requires involvement and oversight at the highest levels of an organization. The argument posits that by demystifying cybersecurity and making it a shared responsibility, we can foster a culture where every employee actively participates in risk management. "Cybersecurity: A Handbook for Board Members and C-Suite Executives," which aims to provide essential insights and practical guidance for corporate leaders on effectively navigating the complex landscape of cybersecurity risk management. As cyber-threats continue to escalate in frequency and sophistication, the role of board members and C-suite executives in safeguarding their organizations has never been more critical. This book will explore the legal and regulatory frameworks, best practices, and strategic approaches necessary for fostering a robust cybersecurity culture within organizations. By equipping leaders with the knowledge and tools to enhance their oversight and risk management responsibilities, we can help them protect their assets and ensure business resilience in an increasingly digital world.
Reinventing Territories Through Solidarity
While territories have always faced multiple challenges, the addition of ecological transition to economic, cultural and social issues complicates matters considerably. Transition calls for new perspectives. The reinvention of territories through solidarity appears to be a particularly relevant approach as it allows us to draw on the many innovations brought about by players in the social and solidarity economy (SSE). To illustrate this point, the book brings together case studies that bear witness to their astonishing ability to link the economy and local democracy to ensure the sustainability of their activities. These case studies illustrate a renewed vision of territorial development based on cooperation between the SSE, local authorities, entrepreneurs and citizens. Subsequently, they usher in a new way of thinking about public action, in which solidarity players undertake an important role, in co-constructing with local public players, systems capable of meeting the major challenges of our time.
