Logistics Management is celebrating its 33rd year collaborating with Dr. Karl Manrodt on the Annual Study of Logistics and Transportation Trends, which serves as a key performance indicator for logistics operations. Dr. Christopher Boone has expanded the survey’s focus to include technology adoption and labor challenges.
