Purpose - The logistics industry is often featured by its location relevance and industrial concentration. Industrial concentration is conducive to the effective transmission of information by reducing transaction costs and improving transaction efficiency, thus promoting the development of trade. The main purpose of this paper is to measure the spatial total factor productivity and location quotient of the logistics industry in Korea, and to study the impact of the logistics industry efficiency and agglomeration effect on import and export trade in Korea. Design/methodology - First, used the spatial stochastic frontier method to measure the spatial total factor productivity of the logistics industry in Korea, this serves as the efficiency index of the logistics industry in various regions of Korea. Second, calculated the location quotient (LQ) of the logistics industry to measure the industry's concentration degree. Third, employed a spatial econometric model to analyze the impacts of factors such as the efficiency and concentration levels of the logistics industry on import and export trade in Korea. Findings - This study's main findings can be summarized as follows: this study found that the overall efficiency of the logistics industry in Korea needs to be improved, even though it showed an upward trend in all regions of the country; Moreover, the agglomeration level of Korea's logistics industry needs to be improved; Finally, the positive spatial correlation and industrial agglomeration effect of Korea's logistics industry had a positive impact on the country's import and export trade. Originality/value - This study is innovative in terms of research perspective and methods. Most of the previous studies have measured the development level of the logistics industry using the logistics performance index (LPI), Fewer studies have assessed through the spatial total factor productivity and location quotient of the logistics industry in Korea to measure the efficiency index of the logistics industry in various regions of Korea and concentration degree, as well as there was almost no study on the impact of logistics industry efficiency and agglomeration effect on import and export trade in Korea. This study addresses this limitation by analyzing the impacts of the efficiency and agglomeration effect of the logistics industry on import and export trade in Korea.

동북아 지역의 경제 규모 및 교역량이 증가하고 대외적으로 물류산업의 환경이 격변하는 상황에서 우리나라 물류산업의 경쟁력은 선진국 및 선진물류기업에 비해 취약하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 물류산업의 현황파악 및 경쟁력 향상 방안도출을 위해 DEA-ANP 결합모형을 이용하여 우리나라 물류산업의 상대적인 효율성을 분석하였다. 투입변수로는 종업원수, 고정자산, 자본총계, 운영비용을 산출변수로는 매출액과 당기순이익을 사용하였다. 분석결과 2003년부터 2005 년까지의 효율성 평균은 0.175로, 현재 투입물의 17.5%만을 효율적으로 사용하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 효율성이 가장 높은 업종은 전체 효율성 평균이 0.3692인 해상운송업으로. 매출액 및 효율성 상위그룹에서 차지하는 비율도 크게 나타나 해상운송업이 우리나라 물류산업의 효율성에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 우리나라 물류 산업전반에 걸쳐 존재하는 비효율을 개선하기 위해서는 종업원 수의 과다투입을 줄여야 하며 매출액 증대를 위해 물류업체의 대형화 및 전문화를 통한 서비스 영역 확대. 지속적 투자, 활발한 해외진출 및 물류 수요 유치등의 노력이 필요하다.

세계화를 통해 글로벌 공급사슬은 더욱 복잡해지고, 고객들은 모든 물류서비스를 통합적으로 제공받을 수 있는 기업에 대한 의존도가 높아짐에 따라 고객들은 물류 기업에 대해서 가격뿐만 아니라 운영적인 측면에서 높은 효율성을 요구하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자료포락분석(Data Envelopment Analysis)을 중심으로 전세계 물류산업의 효율성의 추이와 비효율성에 영향을 미치는 요소들에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면, 5개년간 세계의 물류산업의 효율성은 높아지는 추세를 보이고 있었으며, 비효율성은 규모에 의한 비효율성보다는 순수기술효율성에 의해 나타난 비효율성에 의해서 나타나고 있었다. 비효율성에 영향을 미치는 외부적인 요소를 살펴보면, 우선 세계화는 비효율성에 영향을 주고 있다. 세계화의 요소 중에서는 경제적인 요소보다는 전반적인 세계화 정도가 더 영향을 미쳤으며, 인프라와 관련되어서는 인력, 금융적 지원, 기반 등 소프트웨어적 측면의 영향력이 더 유의했으며 법제도적인 측면에서는 집행의 투명성, 법제도의 효과가 유의하게 영향을 미치는 것을 밝혀냈다.

Purpose: The study attempts to explore the operational performance of the existing Malaysian logistics companies and the extent of their adoption of digitalization. The role of digitalization in enhancing the performance of companies in the logistics industry in Malaysia, for value creation, is the topic of study. Research design, data and methodology: A qualitative research method with a semi-structured interview approach was applied and judgmental sampling was used as the sampling technique to collect data. The research has chosen nine companies in the logistics industry in Peninsular Malaysia, with the interviews aimed at eleven members of top and middle-level management. Data analysis was performed using logical system techniques to examine and evaluate data, reorganizing feedback, comparing it with literature, and transforming it into structured, valuable information after interviews. Results: The study revealed mixed opinions on digitalization in logistics, despite its potential benefits such as improved operational efficiency, real-time information, and customer service. However, high costs may hinder financial performance and require revisions due to stakeholder involvement. Conclusions: The Malaysian logistics industry's adoption of digitalization is gaining traction, with most companies satisfied with their status. However, challenges like cost and inefficiency persist, prompting calls for government support to improve efficiency and reduce costs while ensuring sustainable transportation.

최근 종합물류서비스업의 활성화를 위한 방안으로 정부에서 물류산업의 집중 육성을 위해 노력하고 있는 실정이다. 물류체계 정비를 위한 제도적인 방안과 법적인 방안들에 대한 도입을 전문적인 종합물류서비스업을 위한 지원한도에 대한 확대와 인수 및 합명에 대한 지원을 강화하며, 물류 관련 설비 및 신기술, 개발 투자에 대한 확대방안도 추진하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 DEA를 활용하여 종합물류서비스업의 효율성을 분석하기 위해 총 15개 종합물류서비스업을 대상으로 경영효율성을 재무데이터를 이용하여 분석하였다. 비효율적인 기업으로 나타난 경우 효율적인 기업의 운영을 위한 투사 값을 제시하였으며, 벤치마킹의 대상이 될 수 있는 기업들을 참조집합을 통해 확인하였다. 또한 규모수익성을 감안한 기업의 운영방안도 생각해보고자 한다.

The research purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the effects of technological readiness and innovation on logistics performance. To build up and maintain an important role in global supply chains, nowadays it is obvious that countries and logistics providers need to achieve competitive advantage in terms of digitalization. However, there is a lack of empirical studies about the impacts of information technologies and innovation potential on the logistics efficiency of countries. Hence, the study analyzes whether the corresponding pillars of the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) matter for the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and its dimensions. For determining the effects, the pooled regression approach is applied. The results show that technological readiness and innovation are positively and statistically significantly correlated with logistics performance: competence and quality of logistics services, efficiency of customs clearance processes, ability to track and trace consignments, frequency with which shipments reach consignee within scheduled or expected time, and ease of arranging competitively priced shipments. The findings of this study suggest that investments in innovations and technology progress improve countries' logistics efficiency, which is an important prerequisite for enabling Logistics 4.0 and thus, Industry 4.0 and the digital transformation of the economy and society.

글로벌네트워크 확충을 통한 물류창고 중심화 정책으로 물류창고는 합리적 위치, 합리적 시기, 탄력적 대응으로 운영하므로 부가가치를 높이고 효율성 제고를 통한 경쟁력 강화방안이 요구된다. 보관물류 서비스를 제공하는 물류창고업 자체의 생산성을 위한 연구는 아직 미흡하다. 본 연구는 글로벌 물류기업 40개 이상의 기업에서 상위 35개 물류기업을 선정한 후 2007-2010년까지 글로벌 기업의 물류창고의 운영의 성과분석을 위하여 동태분석을 하였다. 본 연구는 결과는 DEA Window모형에서 VersaCold Logistics Services가 가장 안정적이며 Fed Ex Supply Chain Services/FedEx Trade Networks가 가장 불안정적인 것으로 나타났다. 2009-2010년 기간은 상위 물류기업보다 하위 물류기업의 생산성이 증가하는 특징을 보이고 있다. 그리고 2007-2008년 기간에는 생산성 감소가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 글로벌물류기업별로는 DHL Supply Chain & Global Forwarding와 Maersk Logistics/Damco의 경우 3기간 평균 생산성이 증가하였으나, SCI Group Inc.와 Schneider Logistics, Inc.의 경우 평균 생산성이 감소하였다. 그리고 순수기술효율성의 변화인 Catch-up 분석과 기술진보를 나타내는 Frontier 효과분석을 하였다. 본 연구의 창고운영 면적에 따른 분석을 하지 못한 한계점이 있다.

Today, the logistics industry has played a critical role in national economy activities. The low cost and high efficiency of the logistics industry are meaningful in the improvement of national competitiveness and the logistics industry. However, efficiency of logistics is lower than that of the United States and Japan since most quantities are processed in road transportation in Korea. With regard to this, existing studies expected a saving of social and environmental costs due to a decrease of road transportation as well as improvement of logistics productivity due to bulk transportation through activation of rail and costal transport. For the expectation, the existing multimodal transport systems should be improved first. Therefore it aimed to develop scenario-based simulation models of multimodal transport systems for decision makers in charge of improvement in the logistics area. For model development, this study utilized Thinking Process and System Dynamics(TP-SD) methodology.
