Sinopsis

This book presents the findings of a study on the world's largest container shipping firm, A.P. Moller - Maersk, and its role in integrating developing countries into the global economy. The study focuses on A.P. Moller - Maersk's container business in Southeast Asian developing countries - Vietnam in particular. Building on an extensive empirical analysis, the book suggests that A.P. Moller - Maersk's container business may play an important role in the integration of global production processes, not only by moving goods from A to B and coordinating multiple modes of transport, but also by coordinating and integrating increasingly atomized production processes at a global scale. The book contributes to the understanding of the role of container shipping services in economic development processes.

Críticas

"This book provides valuable insights in the important role of transport as a facilitator of trade and economic development. Managing global supply chains becomes increasingly complex and requires integration and coordination of processes across the globe. The book discusses the role of A.P. Moller - Maersk, the world's largest container shipping firm, in connecting developing countries, such as Vietnam, to developed countries. The reader gets an up-to-date description of Maersk's container business in South East Asia, as well as a profound analysis of the effects of Maersk's investments in building container terminals and integrating global production processes. I recommend it for students of international economics and supply chain management as well as for practitioners."Professor Tage Skjott-Larsen, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
