“…Supply chain and logistics sector is facing with two themes demographic change and sustainability that need more pioneering concept to help organizations to outperform its competitor. The demographic change has a high impact on economy (Klumpp et al 2012), health care service, infrastructure, mobility as well as the pension system in Germany. The working-age population (20 to 64 years old) in Germany is currently 49.8 million.…”
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.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
