Export-import And Logistics Management

International trade procedures and documentation has undergone remarkable changes over the last decade or so. This process of change got accelerated due to the enactment of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. This, coupled with the thrust given to liberalization process by the government, has brought to fore the importance of export procedures and documentation and international logistics management.

This comprehensive yet compact book shows how export, import and logistics management are closely interlinked. Divided into eight parts, the book discusses the export-import environment, the procedures for obtaining finance by the exporter, convertibility of rupee, liberalization and its impact, the foreign exchange market, export-import procedures and documentation. Finally, the book also deals with the essentials of imports and logistics management including distribution channels and international marketing.

This book, which deals with the principles and practice of the management of exports, imports and logistics, should be of a great benefit to the postgraduate students of business management (MBA) and international business management (MIB). In addition, the book would prove to be useful as a handy reference for exporters, importers, managers and entrepreneurs.
