Highlights Logistics in China is ‘big business’. Logistics for Chinese researchers mainly relates to understanding the physical movement of goods. Supply chain management is less stressed in Chinese academic writings, but a shift can be noted.
Abstract This paper provides an overview of logistics research that has been carried out by Chinese academics in the timeframe 1990–2010 using content-based analysis. It is shown that the study of logistics has evolved quite a bit, but that the core concern of logistics study for China’s researchers is the physical movement of goods, while the primarily focus for international researchers has shifted to supply chain and management. China’s approaches to the geography of logistics are however evolving, but as yet have not embraced the ‘supply chain’ perspectives. Here important future research opportunities can be identified.
