In the government side, it must need to arrange and integrate complex regulation rules on the Logistics for more smooth access and use the TPL market. Also, it has to provide multiple support policies such as tax reduction, technical and financial service providing, and logistics information system to TPL. Finally, it should construct the government levels education system to train and forster a competent man who is well qualified as a electronic and logiscic expert. The TPL company must build up a total logistics information system concerned with an innovative operation system such as SCM, JIT etc. which can provide logistic services on demand to the electronic trade customers to maximize consumer satisfaction.

As the popularity of logistics service outsourcing has been continuously growing, one of the most frequently addressed issues is how to estimate the effect of cost reduction for users and profit gains from outsourcing contract for providers. Many manufacturing companies agree that logistics outsourcing helps to reduce their operating costs, but some other companies still do not achieve the cost saving or do not trust logistics service providers, so they keep up in-house logistics operations. On the other hand, logistics service providers have low profitability from domestic business activities since they should meet the requirements for highly customized and diverse services from customers and unstable market situation. This study provided the status report dealing with logistics service contracts in Korea. From the focused group interview with logistics professionals, we found out that service scope, scale and cost structure are the most influential factors affecting logistics service contracts. Also, logistics service providers are more sensitive than users regarding value-added logistics service, contract duration and process. Moreover, this study also proposed the standard clauses for logistics service contract and types of logistics contract applied in current logistics fields. As a result, it is expected that these achievements from this study can be utilized to improve the satisfaction of logistics outsourcing in upgrading service quality and customer service level.

While major alliance container carriers in the post-corona era are enjoying the largest boom in history with their fleet reduction strategy, shippers companies are in a state of deteriorating import and export price competitiveness due to increased logistics costs, and forwarders who act for shipping companies' logistics services are also experiencing the burden of rising freight rates It is in a state of overheated competition and worsening profits for attracting shippers. For this purpose, research data, literature studies, statistical data and data from overseas specialized networks were used as prior research. Online surveys and telephone interviews were conducted, and as a result, four areas of cold chain (including perishable cargo), project logistics, UN procurement logistics, and dangerous goods logistics, which were found to be particularly in high demand, were analyzed to suggest entry strategies.

We investigate empirically the impact of IT exploration & exploitation capability and operational capability upon organizational agility, especially small and medium sized firms in the logistics industry in South Korea. Based on literature on the bilateral relationship between organizational agility and IT capability, we follow the established research model and propose hypotheses. This work takes an empirical methodology to test the hypotheses: design survey questionnaires, collect data, test reliability and validity of data, and finally test the hypotheses. Our results based on the data collected in 2018 present that IT exploration & exploitation capability significantly increases operational capability, and operational capability increases organizational agility. We find our contribution in updating previous research findings with recent data and in expanding the domain of research more specifically into small and medium sized firms in logistics industry in South Korea. Practically our work suggests that managers and policy makers should consider both fostering newly emerging IT exploration and existing IT resource exploitation capability in order to enhance organizational agility of those small and medium sized firms in logistics industry.

현재 대한민국은 물류산업을 이끌어갈 물류전문 컨설턴트가 절실히 필요하다. 글로벌 물류시대를 맞이하여 물류기업뿐만 아니라 각 제조업체도 물류전문가, 특히 글로벌 물류인재에 목말라 하고 있다. (사)한국물류협회(회장:서병륜)는 지난 6월 17일 협회 대강당에서 제2기 물류전문컨설턴트 29명을 배출하면서, 기업체들의 전문인력의 갈증에 조금이나마 해소하고 있다. 명지대학교와 산학협력 프로그램으로 실시되는 물류전문컨설턴트 양성과정은 물류분야 최고의 컨설턴트와 전문 교수진으로 구성하여, 회사 및 업계에서 물류컨설턴트로 활동할 물류지도자를 양성하는 자격 과정이다. 지난해 9월부터 시작한 이 과정은 우수한 강사진과 커리큘럼으로 국내기업으로부터 지대한 관심을 받으며 제1기 과정과 제2기 과정을 성공적으로 마쳤다. 한편, 오는 9월에 실시되는 제3기 과정에는 모집공고가 나오기도 전에 사전신청자가 11명에 이를 정도로 지원자가 급증하고 있다. 이는 교육 과정이 물류 전문가라면 알아야 될 내용들로 짜임새 있게 구성되어 있지만 더욱 중요한 것은 물류업계 전문가들과 인적 Network 구축이 큰 메리트로 작용하고 있다. 제2기 과정을 수료한 LG화학의 오태경부장은 "지금까지 수 많은 교육을 받아 봤고 여러 종류의 모임에도 참여해 봤지만 과거에는 경험해 보지 못한 전혀 색다른 교육 과정을 체험을 하였다."고 말했다.

More manufacturing companies tend to outsource their logistics functions to logistics service providers to ensure their own competitiveness than before. This paper investigates the differences between customer perceptions and expectations on three key logistics outsourcing decisions. For testing logistics service qualities, a research model which employs a SERVQUAL model was developed and a survey targeting manufacturing companies has been conducted. The average difference of logistics service level between customer perceptions and expectations was derived as 8% from a result of gap analyses. The findings here reveal the level of service quality of Korean logistics service providers as well as suggest core capabilities for them in order for gaining a competitive edge on the competitors and improving their performances.
