  • This study aims to find out the ESG management keywords in the logistics industry through social network analysis using news article and sustainable management reports. In recent years, global climate change and Covid-19 have spurred companies to step up their new management system called ESG management. ESG is a combination of Environment, Social, and Governance. In the past, companies' financial performance was the most important, but in the current investment market, the movement to reflect ESG management factors in investment decisions is strengthening. This study aims to find out degree centrality, betweenness centrality, and closeness centrality through social network analysis after collecting related keywords to derive ESG management issues of logistics companies. This study collected 2,359 news articles searched under the keywords "ESG", "Logistics". In addition, data on ESG activities were also used for analysis by referring to the sustainable management reports of logistics companies. As a result of the analysis of degree centrality, it was found that ESG management of logistics companies is in progress, focusing on small enterprises and eco-friendly keywords, and is concentrated on social responsibility and eco-friendly activities. In the betweenness centrality analysis, logistics companies such as HMM and CJ Logistics were derived in a high ranking. In the closeness centrality analysis, eco-friendly keywords topped the list, while the number of keywords related to governance was relatively small, suggesting that logistics companies need to improve their governance structure.

  • Despite the growing importance of the logistics industry, it has been socially recognized as a 3D job and is perceived as a field of lower professional identity since the workers themselves think that they are engaged in a less important job. According to the related researches, it shows that professional identity affects the quality of service to customers, and applying it to the workers who are engaged in the logistics industry should be a meaningful subject of research. Therefore, this study intends to look into the impact of professional identity by managers in logistics centers on their service orientation and job engagement. To this end, this study surveyed managers in logistics centers across the country and conducted exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and path analysis through structural equation models. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, among the sub-factors of professional identity, recognition of professionalism did not have a significant effect on service orientation and job engagement, while acquisition recognition and range cognition had significant effects on it. Second, service orientation had a significant effect on job engagement. It believes that this study suggested implications for educational institutions and logistics companies that develop human resources of logistics in the aspect of that it presented the importance of developing human resources of logistics as well as the directivity to where the working environment such as the autonomy in their works and the extension of their authority should take their way.

  • Recently, with the US protection trade trend, South Korea 's exports to the US have shrunk and the need to pioneer emerging markets in Eurasia has increased. Due to the bankruptcy of Hanjin Shipping, a large Korean national shipping company, the necessity of securing transportation that can replace the Asian - European shipping route has emerged. Moreover, as the international trade and logistics environment is rapidly changing due to the spread of electronic commerce, it is time to prepare for the environment where IT technology is applied to international logistics activities. Therefore, this study was carried out to establish information strategy of Eurasia logistics information sharing platform from Korean perspective through comparison of logistics information level of Eurasian countries. This study aims at standardization direction for supporting logistics activities between Eurasian countries, providing customs clearance and logistics services without interruption, providing information for expanding business of trade companies, and building information linkage infrastructure for expanding cooperation between logistics companies across countries. Through this study, it is expected that logistics activities through information sharing among countries will be actively carried out.

  • A research on logistics cost needs a great deal of effort to calculate logistics cost and analyze its characteristics due to the complexity of logistics cost components. For this reason, the logistics cost is generally calculated based on the government level analysis. However, the standards for calculating logistics cost have not been obvious so far. Furthermore, it is true that it takes a long time and a lot of money to evaluate the percentage of each logistics cost component. The expansion of SCM entities has diversified the factors determining the logistics cost and the change of business environment has had an effect on the components of logistics costs. Therefore, in order to research on logistics cost, it is needed to focused on not only the segmentation of logistics cost components but also on their characteristics, and to separate the former from the latter. That is because the logistics cost components or the characteristics of these components depend on the current situation and conditions of companies. In addition, a strategy to reduce the components of logistics costs such as the transport cost and the storage cost without analyzing the characteristics and causes of the logistics cost could be an alternative unsuitable for the current status of companies concerned. In conclusion, this study was aimed at investigating the factors which are required to fundamentally assume and consider in an effort to calculate and reduce logistics cost based on analyzing the characteristics of logistics cost components.

  • In modern marketing environment, we are more interested in logistics as industrial structure is complicated and globalized. Most companies focus on reducing the cost price. So a lot of companies study on cost estimation logistics. However, it Is very difficult to estimate the cost of logistics. Thus they mainly use linear method such as the simple distance of transportation. This study defines the cost of logistics, structure & network of military logistics and proposes the costing estimation model in the logistics. We apply to battle shoes which are the main clothing in the military. In the result, we found some differences on the rate of cost structure between military and civil companies. This study can be used directly to the decision making for optimal military logistics alternatives and contribute to the efficient operation of military budget.

  • In the global competition environment, companies are using international logistics centers located in ports and airports to reduce costs and improve logistics services through the rationalization of logistics networks. By examining how the characteristics of shipper companies affect the utilization of the international logistics center, this study aims to suggest implications for the desirable operation and utilization of the international logistics center. As a result, the factors that utilize the international logistics center were extracted into three main factors of visibility, addition, and responsiveness. The case of addition was found to be the size of the firm and the type of product being handled. The company's characteristics in terms of responsiveness were found to be product type. In addition, the variable affecting the willingness to use the international logistics center was the period of use of the logistics center.

  • Most of logistics system has difficulties in transportation logistics tracking due to problems in real world such as discordance between logistics information and logistics flow. For the solution to these problems, through case study about corporation, suppliers that transport order items in shopping mall, we retain traceability of order items through accordance between logistics and information flow and derive transportation logistics tracking model. Through literature review, we selected permissioned public block chain model as reference model which is suitable for transportation logistics tracking model. We compared, analyzed and evaluated using centralized model and block chain as application model for transportation logistics tracking model. In this paper we proposed transportation logistics tracking model which integrated with logistics system in real world. It can be utilized for tracking and detection model and also as a tool for marketing.
