The prime objective of journal “International Journal of Logistics and Supply Chain Management Perspectives” is to provide a vibrant and creative forum for spread of research-based knowledge covering various areas of Logistics, Supply Chain Management, and Inventory Management.

 The journal provides international and interdisciplinary forum for research in the rapidly developing - and converging - fields of the Logistics and Supply Chain development in wide spectrum of industries. In creating the competitive edge, companies need to divert its resources to focus on what they do best and outsource the process and task that is not important to the overall objective of the company. SCM has allowed company to rethink their entire operation and restructure it so that they can focus on its core competencies and outsource processes that are not within the core competencies of the company. The strategy on applying SCM will not only impact their market positioning but also strategic decision on choosing the right partners, resources and manpower. By focusing on core competencies also will allow the company to create niches and specialization of core areas. Articles may take an economic or behaviour approach. The journal contributes new results in all areas of value and supply chain management, looking across both product and service-based businesses.
