CSCMP and Zaragoza Logistics Center invite you to this event at IE Business School, where Professor Yossi Sheffi will discuss how Logistics Clusters deliver value and generate growth.
In his book professor Sheffi explains the benefits offered by logistics clusters in an economy seriously affected by recession, including the generation of job opportunities for low-qualified workers, locally concentrated and often not able to be relocated. These clusters allow what is rare in today´s economy: real success stories.
