Abstract
Contract logistics is not a dynamic growth market. This is the conclusion of "Myths in Contract Logistics," a recent study from Mercer Management Consulting. The study explodes a number of myths that have had a big impact on market performance for years: that there is a sharp trend toward logistics outsourcing, that logistics is a highly profitable high-end market, that profitable logistics providers only require low investment capital - and that satisfied customers remain loyal over long periods of time. Mercer investigated more than thirty leading logistics companies worldwide with a total sales revenue of 228 billion euros and makes suggestions for successful business designs in the contract logistics sector.
