Abstract (De)
Corporate logistics strategies have an impact on the volume of freight transportation and in turn on the environment as well as land resources. But new corporate behavior can increase as well as reduce freight transportation. This paper tries to shed some light on this 'terra incognita'" That is the interface between corporate logistics and freight transportation. Although it is obvious that corporate behavior today is heterogeneous, our empirical case study produces some clusters of key factors which determine corporate logistics. Overall it is evident that environmental issues do not play any significant role with the responding firms - due to lack of awareness and of data. Public-private partnerships seem to hold some promise of benefit to corporate performance, the environment and regional development.
