Abstract
The term ‘‘cloud logistics” has recently emerged in the academic literature of IT and logistics, in more practice-oriented industry magazines, and in practice itself. However, the meaning of the term ‘‘cloud logistics” is unclear. Academics and practitioners use the term inconsistently to refer to a variety of phenomena. In principle, this terminological ambiguity results from the fact that the term is a composition of two concepts: cloud (computing) and logistics, and inevitably inherits and blends their meanings (Leukel & Scheuermann 2014:39; Kersten et al. 2012:257).
