The disertation has reviewed Taiwan modes of logistics and supply chain management. It aimed at the discovery of laws and prospects of the cooperation in the logistics industry across the Taiwan Strait. It is trying to reveal the cross-strait cooperation in the logistics industry and development of the formation mechanisms on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and trying to find out the cross-strait cooperation in the layout of the logistics industry, the clustering of the cross-strait cooperation in the logistics industry, the logistics industry structure in the era of the global electronic commerce, the transformation and upgrading of cross-strait industrial gradient transfer of the logistics industry, the logistics industry competition and cross-strait cooperation.
Through the research, the dissertation comes to the following major conclusions:
1. The cross-strait co-operation in logistics industry is crucial, based on regional economics (theory) it's necessary and feasible.
It must be an inevitable choice in cross-strait division of the industrial supply chain integration and the cross-strait industrial gradient transfer for the cooperation model across the Taiwan Strait in the logistics industry.
2. A trend of diversification with a special stress on the 3PL and the 4PL is demonstrated in the mode of cross-strait cooperation in the logistics industry.
The Cross-strait new logistic cooperation model“trade+sale exhibition+logistics” is “to develop the marketing with sale exhibition,to promote the exhibition with sales combining the logistics”. Cross-Strait products sale exhibition room is to realize “exhibition with sales, to promote sales exhibition, putting the logistics in them”. The aim of the cross-strait “trade + sale exhibition + logistics” model of cooperation is to improve the business environment. The logistics cooperation pattern is “owner of the goods (made in mainland China or by other manufacturers outside)for marketing in mainland China+ the transportation enterprises in mainland China+ logistics enterprises from Chinese Taiwan”, that is the third party logistics.But the model in the international market practices “the export manufacturers who set up factories in mainland China + freight forwarders in Mainland China + Taiwan's international logistics industry”,that is called the fourth party logistics.
3. Cross-strait cooperation in the logistics industry from functional cooperation to the increasingly integrated logistics system.
The business model of the cross-strait logistics industry and logistics information will accelerate the narrowing of the gap, only the logistics industry cooperation in logistics industry between Taiwan and the mainland China is essential to maintain the Taiwan Island as the logistics centre in the process of globalization of logistics.The cross-strait cooperation in the logistics industry may bring the Chinese logistics “going out” to become part in international competition as the global
