Logistic Industry, Timing of Investment, Comparison of US & China-based companies.Abstract
The background of this study is based on both China and the United State logistic industry. Through a span of more than a decade, we analyzed the reasons for the success and failure of these two companies (Consolidated Freightways-US & La La move-China) from five different perspectives- Technology, Economic, Social, Installed Base, Regulatory, and Decision-making. We found that each of these five broad environmental factors contributed more or less directly to the ultimate success or failure of the company. The significance of this study is to provide managers with more authoritative results by analyzing similar companies in different regions at different times to help them have a better understanding of business investment timing issues.
