| Abstract | "'Developing Ports as Business Ecosystems' provides professionals in freight transport and maritime logistics, and specifically the port industry, with a better conceptual understanding of the port industry. It includes key insights and best practices for port management and development, and an overview of new trends and developments relevant for developing winning strategies. This second edition explains how a rapidly changing energy landscape and the advancing transition towards sustainability have deeply impacted port development in recent years. It provides an even more coherent comprehensive contribution to port management, development and policies. The book uniquely features in-depth explanations of the port as an ecosystem, port governance and port policy choices, including public financing of ports. The new edition presents further developed analysis on the changing port landscape and the opportunities for business development in ports. This book will broaden professionals' conceptual understanding of the ports industry and provide insights on the latest developments in this area. For students, this book provides an industry-focused and non-technical 'essential reading' for gaining a deep understanding of the ports industry"-- Provided by publisher. |
