Research on Logistics Parks: Literature Review and Outlook

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the current status of research on Logistics Parks (LPs) and identifies promising research opportunities for the future. After defining the concept of a Logistics Park, we describe the web based search engines and keywords used to locate and review the relevant literature. The research articles located are then classified into six categories according to the main perspective of the work: development strategy, planning, operations management, evaluation, innovation, and synergies. On this basis we then can analyze the focus of the current literature and derive issues that future research on LPs should address.
