[21.04.2017] 1 Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ingrid Göpfert ist Inhaberin des Lehrstuhls für Logistik an der Philipps-Universität Marburg. 2 Patrick Seeßle ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am gleichnamigen Lehrstuhl. 3 Dr. Andreas Froschmayer ist Corporate Director Coporate Development, Strategy & Public Relations bei DACHSER SE. 3 Vorwort Die Logistik ist wohl aktuell eine der spannendsten Branchen, wenn es um die Frage der Anwendung von neuen Möglichkeiten durch Digitalisierung geht. Die Kreativität, mit der nun über die weitere Professionalisierung der Logistik in Industrie- und Handelsunternehmen, sowie auch bei den Logistik dienstleistern an neuen Prozessen und Anwendungen gearbeitet wird, ist entfesselt worden. Nun hat jedoch die Logistik zum einen eine Logik, die sowohl aus Transaktionen besteht, die digital erweitert und effizienter gestaltet werden können. Zum anderen ist Logistik jedoch auch physische Warenbewe- gung. Daher ist die Logistik im Sinne der Digitalisierung immer ein hybrides Geschäft, wenn man alle Komponenten einer integrierten Logistik in die Betrachtung einbezieht. Sie ist sozusagen ein cyber- physisch-soziales System. Eine sehr große Aufmerksamkeit haben derzeit die vielen neuen Startups in der Branche, die sich mit Ineffizienzen und deren Lösungen beschäftigen oder einfach nur bestimmte Funktionen, welche rein digital realisiert werden können, anbieten. Die vorliegende Arbeit bietet hier- zu einen hervorragenden Überblick, der wohl so bisher nicht möglich war, da die Unternehmensfor- men und deren Funktionen in einer Gesamtbetrachtung zuvor nicht so sorgfältig recherchiert wurden. Es wird sich dann jedoch zeigen, welche Ideen der Startups es schaffen werden, tatsächliche Relevanz in großen integrierten Logistiklösungen zu erzeugen. Denn es ist ein Unterschied, eine einfache Com- modity-Transaktion ins Internet zu verlagern oder eine weltweit integrierte Logistik für eine intermo- dale Supply-Chain für permanente Warenbewegungen zu planen und täglich zu betreiben. Ich wünsche den Lesern viele gute Erkenntnisse und den Startups ein gutes Gelingen in ihrer Anschluss- fähigkeit für zukunftsfähige Lösungen.

    Don't Get Burned on eBay By Shauna Wright ............................................... Publisher: O'Reilly Pub Date: March 2006 Print ISBN-10: 0-596-10178-3 Print ISBN-13: 978-0-59-610178-7 Pages: 174 Table of Contents | Index Lots of books tell you how to buy and sell on eBay. But what if something goes horribly awry? Do you have to chalk it up to a "lesson learned," lick your wounds and move on? Not a chance.Don't Get Burned on eBay offers relevant lessons based on real-life stories posted on eBay's Answer Center. With sharp, witty rhetoric, veteran eBay user Shauna Wright (co-founder of the popular web site WhoWouldBuyThat.com (www.whowouldbuythat.com), shows eBay veterans and newcomers alike how to avoid those nasty scenarios, and how to pull themselves out of the muck if they've already fallen in. Six entertaining (and hair-raising) chapters cover real problems that people have encountered with bidding, payment, shipping, packaging, dealing with other eBayers, and coping with the eBay system. This book is for anyone who's ever used eBay, because even veteran buyers and sellers often don't know the intricacies of eBay's and PayPal's rules. Don't Get Burned on eBay will leave you well-informed and better protected from potential pitfalls. The book's extensive glossary and numerous in-depth sidebars also make the book useful to people who haven't yet taken the plunge into eBay.
