The Symposium is organized by the Centre for Concurrent Enterprise, Nottingham University BusinessSchool, University of Nottingham, UK in conjunction with, Nottingham University - Germany, University

of Hull, and the University of Padua. ISL 2010 will be held in Berlin, Germany.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME AND SYMPOSIUM AIMSThe fundamental goals of good logistics are to manage the movement of materials from the point of acquisition to the point of final consumption, as well as the associated information flows, with a view toproviding excellent customer service at a reasonable cost. Achieving these goals requires fast and efficientmanagement of internal and external resources within the context of global supply chain networks. Paperswill represent the latest in academic thinking and case examples of successful implementations of ideas,models and concepts. The wider audience will therefore benefit from the knowledge and experience of leading practitioners and academics in this area.

The 16th International Symposium on Logistics aims to provide a forum for discussion between leading

academics, researchers and practitioners who specialise in the area of logistics and supply chainmanagement and to promote excellence in this field. The chosen theme for ISL2011 is “RebuildingSupply Chains for a Globalised World ”. This theme reflects the changes taking place across the worldtoday in terms of shifting supply and demand for both goods and services, taking as a backdrop China’srapid rise, widely acknowledged now as the manufacturing hub of the world. Equally India is rapidlybecoming the global services hub and other countries in the so-called ‘developing world’ are growing inconfidence, infrastructure and capability. These changes have big implications for logistics and supplychain planning, representing a dynamic and interesting area of research and practice for both academics

and practitioners alike. With this in mind the 16th ISL aims to assemble experts from around the globe tofocus on how leading firms and academics are responding to these challenges and debate what this will

mean for the future of global supply chain management. Papers will represent the latest in academicthinking, as well as case examples of successful logistical implementations. The wider audience will

therefore benefit from the knowledge and experience of leading practitioners and academics in this area.

CALL FOR PAPERSThis major event for international scholars in the areas of Logistics, Operations and Supply ChainManagement will be held in Berlin, Germany and has been chosen after the successful symposia held inKuala Lumpur, 2010, Istanbul, 2009, Bangkok, 2008, Budapest 2007, Beijing 2006, Lisbon 2005,

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WRITING A STRUCTURED ABSTRACT

1. CHOOSE A CATEGORY FOR THE PAPER

Pick the category which most closely describes your paper. We understand that some papers can fit into

more than one category but it is necessary to assign your paper to one of the categories listed below.

Choose from:

• Research paper This category covers papers which report on any type of research undertaken by the author(s).

The research may involve the construction or testing of a model or framework, action research,testing of data, or survey research.

Conceptual paper

These papers will not be based on field research but will develop and test hypotheses. The papers arelikely to be discursive and will cover philosophical discussions and comparative studies of others' work and

thinking. They may provide an overview or historical examination of some concept, technique or

phenomena.

• Case study

Case studies describe actual interventions or experiences within organizations. They may well besubjective and will not generally report on research. A description of a legal case or a hypotheticalcase study used as a teaching exercise would also fit into this category.



• Literature review

It is expected that all types of paper cite any relevant literature so this category should only beused if the main purpose of the paper is to annotate and/or critique the literature in a particular

subject area. It may be a selective bibliography providing advice on information sources or it maybe comprehensive in that the paper's aim is to cover the main contributors to the development of a

topic and explore their different views.

THE CITY OF BERLINSince the momentous fall of the wall in 1989, Berlin has transformed itself from being a divided city into

one of Germany's most modern business and tourist destinations with many attractions, includingdecorated remnants of the Berlin wall, the Brandenburg Gate (which has become one of the city's mostrecognisable and photographed attractions), the German parliament building with its modern glass andsteel dome (complete with visitor walkway), as well as the trendy Potsdamer Platz, the hard-to-missTelevision Tower (Fernsehturm) at Alexander Platz and the Schloss Charlottenburg, famed for its late-17 th

century architecture. There are also numerous top quality museums, collections and art galleries,including the Museum Island with its UNESCO World Heritage Status. Twenty years since reunification,Berlin is continuing to rebuild, with cranes littering the skyline. In contrast to all of this activity, visitors

can also take time out to relax at the nearby forests and lakes. In short, Berlin is the political, media,lifestyle and multicultural centre of Germany, with something to offer every visitor.
