Logistical Networks in a Dynamic Economy
1 online resource (viii, 296 pages 67 illustrations)
This book describes the nature and extent of the current revolutionary age of logistical networks, which is transforming society at a rapid rate. Many of the major structural changes underway are triggered by slow but steady changes in global logistical systems. Methods of dynamic analysis, especially synergetics, are essential for a proper understanding of the qualitative changes involved. These methods are described in the book. The role of creative world cities is also portrayed as a fundamental one. In this context, the Osaka Bay Area is expected to play a key role as a new symbiotic centre for different cultures of the Orient and the Occident. The book contains contributions of twenty prominent scientists from Japan, Europe and the USA.
