Adapting Dynamic Logistics Processes and Networks: Advantages Through Regional Logistics Clusters

In order to show how logistics clusters can bring time advantages in adapting dynamic logistics processes and networks to the involved companies, in this paper the approaches of the Porter diamond, in which the national competitive advantages are being deduced and transferred to the regional level, are combined with the bases of the logistics system by Pfohl in one model. It is shown, how the force of assimilation and the increased adaptability of the companies in the cluster lead to a cluster arbitrage over time. The developed model is practically analyzed by the example of the logistics cluster in Bremen.
