Logistics Dynamics and Demographic Change

Abstract

Change and dynamics in logistics are interestingly driven at the same time by external as well as internal forces. This contribution outlines a big data literature review methodology to overview recognizable external changes and analyzes the interaction of one major trend—demographic change—further in order to allow for change management and adaption concepts for successful logistics. Therefore, this may be a first blueprint of how to analyze and react to specific trends in a holistic manner embedded into a context and environment of trends and changes. This may allow logistics dynamics concepts also to be possibly more sustainable in terms of applicable for a longer period of time—and not to be overcome by other trends.
