A Study on Strategy-making of Five Big Chinese Logistics Companies under the Impacts of COVID-19

Abstract

In this paper, we examine the impact of Covid-19 on the Chinese logistics industry, using both qualitative and quantitative analysis to examine the performance of the top five logistics companies in the months following the initial outbreak in early 2020. The top five companies are Shunfeng, Yuantong, Zhongtong, Shentong, and Yunda. Using a linear regression model and a questionnaire of 251 individuals, we analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the top five companies. We then conclude with our financial recommendations for the five companies, based on our analysis.
