Why US firms make use of
chinaAlmost 90% of fortune 500 industries in world set their manufacturing &
assembly plants in china. Cost effectively they want to distribute their
products to the global market from shop floor.
For that they started to highly co-ordinate their geographically
dispersed activists in the value system by making use of logistic as a
tool.

processes.
Availability of input resources like human, technology, knowledge, physical
and capital resources for an logistics industries is quiet enough in china.
Demand conditions: the quality and quantity of domestic demand.
The demand for logistics industries is soaring at the rate of 29.9% to a
total worth of RMB 38.4 trillion in 2004 compared to 2003. the totallogistics expenses account for 21.3% of GDP in 2004.source: www.chinaeconomic.net

Firm’s strategy, structure and rivalry: the nature of domestic rivalry.
Logistic is a new born industry for china and mostly closed for foreigners. But
due liberalization in 2001 with agreements with WTO it opened the gate for
global players. This creates competitive advantage for the country where
major players started to operate in high competitive market.
Governments: policies, subsidies, industrial limitations in openness.
Chinese government couldn’t cope up with its economic growth in logistics
fields. To improve logistics industries to a world standards it opened its gates
to third party logistic players (3PLs). The various provinces integrated by
a standard set of norms to ease the logistics operations. To improve
management skills it encouraged universities to offer logistic management
courses with latest technology.

Four types of emerging 3PLs in china Large SOEs: like Sinotrans, COSCO and China Post with extensive transport
and warehousing assets, broad national networks, and strong relationships
with central and provincial governments. These firms already enjoy a
monopoly in several areas of trucking, shipping and postal services.
Medium-sized domestic logistics providers : (generally privately owned),
which focus on one or two key industries.
Logistics divisions of manufacturers and processors: primarily providing
services to internal customers, but sometimes offering 3PL services to outside
companies.
Foreign logistics providers: new Wholly Foreign Owned Entities (WFOEs)
and smaller firms working in niche markets.

Still china lags to meet globalstandards!
Compare to burgeoning china’s economy the logistic industry
lags due to major reasons like:
Poor infrastructure
No coordination between provinces
Regulation
Bureaucracy and culture
Information and communication technology
Limited logistical management skills
Undeveloped domestic industries
