About the book

The essential textbook for understanding logistics as a strategic driver of business success.

Strategic Logistics Management
by Erik Sandberg provides postgraduate students with the analytical tools and conceptual frameworks needed to explore logistics through a strategic lens. By bridging strategic management theory with logistics practice, this book equips readers to analyse and manage logistics as a driver of sustainable competitive advantage.

Going beyond traditional approaches, this textbook demonstrates how logistics functions as a core element of business strategy. It introduces students to key debates and strategic frameworks that explain logistics' central role in resilience, innovation and business model development. Featuring international case studies from Lidl, Apple and H&M, it reveals how logistics creates value across diverse industries and business environments. Topics include circular supply chains, the paradoxes of logistics decision-making and how logistics-based models can be used to shape competitive positioning.

To support structured learning and independent analysis, the book includes:

- Chapter outlines and summaries for clarity and revision
- Discussion and study questions to deepen understanding
- International case examples to demonstrate real-world application
- Pedagogical framing that supports strategic evaluation and critical thinking
- Online resources including lecturer slides, instructor manuals and extended study materials

Strategic Logistics Management delivers the knowledge and critical insight needed to understand logistics as a core element of strategic business performance.

About the authors

Erik Sandberg is a Professor in Logistics and Supply Chain Management at Linköping University, Sweden. He is also a part-time consultant, with experience from a variety of sectors, with an emphasis on fashion, textile and food. Clients he has worked with include Ericsson, PostNord and ECR Sweden.
  • This book will become a standard work for understanding how extremely important logistics management is to run a business, especially in times of hypercompetition in a complex market. Strategic Logistics Management's approach, starting with an understanding of logistics management and then transitioning into how to strategically put the theory into practice, makes the book a must-read for both company and retail management.
    After reading the book, I can only agree with Erik about what he writes in the preface:
    'In particular, it provides a comprehensive overview of the intersection between strategic management theory on the one hand and logistics and supply chain management practice on the other.'

  • Arne B Andersson, Senior E-Commerce Advisor, Swedish Trade (Svensk Handel), Sweden
