International Logistics and Standardization with Strategies

국제물류 및 표준화의 국제적 대응방안 - 물류 및 표준화 정책 중심으로 -

The higher costs of logistics in Korea than those of other developed countries have been considered as a main factor to reduce national competitiveness. In addition, the international logistics has become more important than before as trade across countries have increased with globalization. This study measured the rate of international logistics absorption as total trade volume compared total domestic consumption expenditure. The measure showed that USA($26\%$), japan($31\%$), and China($l12\%$) are important countries for Korea to cooperate for the international logistics and its standardization. However, for these countries, Korea is not important country in terms of the international logistics because the absorption rates of these countries to Korea are relatively very low as they shows $0.8\%$, $8\%$, $1.85\%$ in USA, China, and japan, respectively. Thus, we need international strategies in logistics fields to cooperate with these countries.
