Abstract

What does the title of this chapter signify? Logistics and locus have always been intertwined, although vertical disintegration is now placing more emphasis on suppliers. Research, development, and design have generally been regarded as separate activities, only distantly linked to the areas where production, the storage or transportation of finished goods, components, and raw materials take place. Scope, finally, represents the broadening of perspective, not just in terms of technology or markets, but in multifold ways.
