Study on the Development of e-commerce and Modern Logistics in Linyi City, China

Abstract

The New Technological Revolution, which is chiefly characterized by the rapid development of information technology, is rapidly expanding. The "Internet +" wave is now sweeping all aspects of social and economic activities, and the in-depth development of e-commerce provides a rare opportunity for new third-party logistics, as well as proposing even higher requirements on logistics services. In such an environment featured by rapid development of e-commerce, however, logistics in Linyi City, China, is facing a series of realistic problems such as large amount of scattered operators, single-function services which lack differentiation, out-dated mode of collection on delivery, increasingly serious air pollution, etc,. Given the current situation, the logistics companies and trading enterprises should join hands to form an alliance, to strengthen horizontal communication and take the road of joint development. Besides, the government should play its role in constructing a public logistics trading platform, and promote logistics transportation means to transfer to green and environmental ones.
