The ideal textbook for understanding logistics as a strategic driver of business success.
Strategic Logistics Management by Erik Sandberg provides postgraduate students with the analytical tools and conceptual frameworks needed to explore logistics through a strategic lens. By bridging strategic management theory with logistics practice, this book equips readers to analyse and manage logistics as a driver of sustainable competitive advantage.
Going beyond traditional approaches, this textbook demonstrates how logistics functions as a core element of business strategy. It introduces students to key debates and strategic frameworks that explain logistics' central role in resilience, innovation and business model development. Featuring international case studies from Lidl, Apple and H&M, it reveals how logistics creates value across diverse industries and business environments. Topics include circular supply chains, the paradoxes of logistics decision-making and how logistics-based models can be used to shape competitive positioning.
To support structured learning and independent analysis, the book includes:
- Chapter outlines and summaries for clarity and revision
- Discussion and study questions to deepen understanding
- International case examples to demonstrate real-world application
- Pedagogical framing that supports strategic evaluation and critical thinking
