英语翻译
Despite the complex nature of the port,from the managerial and entrepreneurial
point of view,due to multipart organizations in which institutions and functions
often intersect at various levels (Robison,2002; Carbone and De Martino,2003;
Bichou and Gray,2004,2005),the port industry searches for different strategies to
cope with the prevailing and pervasive restructuring of the logistics or supply
chain environment (Robinson,2002; Bichou and Gray,2004; Bichou and Gray,
2005; Robinson,2006; Olivier and Slack,2006; Panayides and Song,2008;
Mangan et.al.,2008).One of these strategies aiming at integrating the sea/land
interface with inland-logistics is based on a concept of the logistics platform that
is the focus of this thesis.The concept emerges as natural ingredients of the
logistics/SCM components aimed at exploring a firm’s value-chain mechanisms.
This is to point out the importance of creating dynamic relationships between
4
member-firms to adapt to high-variety strategies.The common threads linking
these strategies are the increasing integration of ports into the transport network,
the growing recognition of the port as a natural focus for industrialization and
value-addition,and the development of port-related logistics activities taking
account of corporate commercial strategies,technological developments and
market forces (Pettit and Beresford,2009).
To summarize,there is a demand to re-explore interfaces between transport and
economic activities in the port industry due to globalization effects.This was
evidenced by an epistemological shift in re-conceptualizing the port,from a
single,fixed,spatial entity to a network of logistics and transport operators in a
common platform vicinity.With the increased demand in container port operation
and industrial progress in developing value-added logistics in close proximity to
ports,a systematic integration between supply chain interfaces has become a
prerequisite for the entire logistics system to function.Whereas the port industry
incorporates commercial strategies as integrated elements within the supply chain
environment,eventually many researchers will suggest addressing the port
industry from logistics/SCM and value-chain points of view.This thesis
emphasizes the importance of systematic integration between supply chain
interfaces that might be obtained by a common platform of logistics and
information transactions,whereas common obstacles and segmentation of the port
business in terms of trade,logistics and supply chain are thought to be adequately
solved.In addition,there is an indication that the current state of knowledge on
maritime transport and ports appears to be modest as far as business economics
research is concerned (Carbone and De Martino,2003; Bichou and Gray,2004;
Mangan,2008).

尽管港口具有复杂的性质,但是从企业管理和企业家的角度来说,由于一个多部门的组织经常安体系和功能划分为各种级别(Robison,2002; Carbone and De Martino,2003;Bichou and Gray,2004,2005),港口产业只能寻找不同的策略来解决普遍存在的物流和供应链的重组问题(Robinson,2002; Bichou and Gray,2004; Bichou and Gray,2005; Robinson,2006; Olivier and Slack,2006; Panayides and Song,2008;Mangan et.al.,2008)..其中一个以将海陆交界和内地物流整合在一起为目的的策略就是基于物流平台这一概念.这个概念也是这个理论的焦点.作为物流或者供应链关系管理中的必然组成成分,这个概念的目的在于探索一个企业的价值链体制.这也是为了指出创设各成员公司之间的动态关系以适应各种策略的重要性.于这些策略相关联的共同观点是：将港口逐步整合为运输网,逐步提高将港口作为工业化和附加值的中心的认识和发展综合考虑了共同商业战略、技术发展和市场力量的与港口相关的物流活动.(Pettit and Beresford,2009).
简而言之,全球化效应导致了有必要对运输和港口产业中的经济活动之间的连接进行重新探索.这也被对市场定义的认识论变化所证明,从一个独立、封闭、受空间限制的实体转变为一个有共同操作平台的物流网络体系和运输载体.随着对货柜港口经营的提高要求和近港口以发展增值物流为目的工业的发展,对供应链中的各个层面进行系统的整合已经成为整个物流体系正常运转的先决条件.鉴于港口产业吸收看作为供应链环境整合原理的商业战略,最终很多研究者会提出将港口产业与物流/供应关系管理中分离和价值链的观点.这种理论强调将供应链中的各个层面进行系统整合的重要性.这种整合可能从一个共同的物流平台和信息处理中实现.因此,与港口贸易相关的商业贸易、物流和供应链普遍存在的断裂和障碍也就能得到完全的解决.另外,有迹象表明就目前对贸易经济学研究的关注度来看,当前在海上运输和港口方面的知识似乎是不够的.
