Managerial Publications
We connect our research with business practice
What Are Managerial Publications?
At ZLC, we believe in the importance of sharing knowledge beyond the academic sphere. That’s why we publish opinion pieces, technical analyses, and specialized outreach articles in industry media, professional journals, and leading platforms in logistics and supply chain management.
Through these publications, we aim to make our research accessible to a broader audience, spark dialogue around key challenges in logistics, and contribute to the continuous improvement of the business ecosystem.
Our researchers provide insights on trends, innovation, digitalization, sustainability, and emerging business models in logistics—always with a rigorous and practical approach.
