Discuss the core drivers of globalization as identified by Dye & Stephenson (2010), with respect to logistics. Which have the greatest effect on the logistics function? What effect do the others have? Are these effects mainly positive, negative, or a mixture of both? Explain.
Rodrigue (2012) discusses the concept of friction with respect to supply chain management. Compare and contrast the sources of friction experienced by a firm engaged in international logistics, with the sources experienced by a firm operating strictly within the borders of one country.
