在课题研究时期读的书,高昂的运输成本成为了贸易的壁垒,现今随着航运和通讯成本的巨幅降低,低库存的及时生产成为登上了舞台。停留在各大港口的集装箱只有不到1/3装载着完成的生产完毕的产品,其余的大多数都是全球供应链中的环节与中间产品。过长的产业链和生产要素在世界范围的分布,使各部分的生产者和终端消费都对商品的生产一无所知。
评分我要找malcolm maclean的传记来看。码头工会虽然百般阻挠,但是完全挡不住技术创新(当然你也可以说是创新的资本家为降低成本用尽一些办法)前进的脚步啊!想到1453年,穆罕默德靠着船坚炮利进攻君士坦丁堡兵临城下,城里的居民和守卫在干啥呢?跪在地上祈祷啊……咳咳扯远了,商业故事真的会削弱俺对于资本以外的力量所剩无几的信心啊~_~
评分#.....反正商院藏书里的默认前提们都挺猎奇的..当然集装箱的点是蛮有意思的
评分读到集装箱刚开始被推广的时候,受到了码头和搬运工工会的阻挠,想起来这两年大家对人工智能的担忧,颇为相似

In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried fifty-eight shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. The Box tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about.</p>
Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the first container voyage, this is the first comprehensive history of the shipping container. It recounts how the drive and imagination of an iconoclastic entrepreneur, Malcom McLean, turned containerization from an impractical idea into a massive industry that slashed the cost of transporting goods around the world.</p>
But the container didn't just happen. Its adoption required huge sums of money, both from private investors and from ports that aspired to be on the leading edge of a new technology. It required years of high-stakes bargaining with two of the titans of organized labor, Harry Bridges and Teddy Gleason, as well as delicate negotiations on standards that made it possible for almost any container to travel on any truck or train or ship. Ultimately, it took McLean's success in supplying U.S. forces in Vietnam to persuade the world of the container's potential.</p>
Drawing on previously neglected sources, economist Marc Levinson shows how the container transformed economic geography, devastating traditional ports such as New York and London and fueling the growth of previously obscure ones, such as Oakland. By making shipping so cheap that industry could locate factories far from its customers, the container paved the way for Asia to become the world's workshop and brought consumers a previously unimaginable variety of low-cost products from around the globe.</p>
今天我们生活在一个全球化的世界。我们身边的许多产品,都是由全世界各地飘洋过海而来。就拿iphone来说,它的设计与研发在美国总部完成,而iphone处理器是由三星在韩国制造的,屏幕则来自日本,还有许许多多小零件,像是来自法国的陀螺仪传感器,来自荷兰的NFC通讯模块。这些创...
评分这本书进入我的视线范围是因为它出现在了Bill Gates书单里,然后又作为贸易出身的人,觉得有阅读一下的必要。 这本书说了什么? 是贸易全球化?海运发展?运输成本的降低?还是集装箱对制造业的影响? 这些问题在我读这本书之前都在脑中掠过。 而这本书完全没有针对以上任何一...
评分马克麦克莱恩首先创建的是自己家族掌管的卡车运输公司。在经营卡车公司时,麦克莱恩便通过多种方式试图绕开政府机构对价格的管控,并提供具有竞争力的运输价格。 卡车运输的发展使得高速公路的交通拥堵情况日益严重,从而降低了卡车运输的效率。为了突破陆基运输的基础设施瓶...
评分《经济学家》杂志说,“没有集装箱,就没有全球化。” 这项貌似普通的发明,到底是如何影响整个产业链,进而推动全球化进程的呢? 一、芭比娃娃的全球供应链 芭比被认为是地地道道的美国女孩儿,但实际上,她从来就不是。 在她诞生的1959年,美泰公司就把她的生产安排在了日本的...
评分集装箱在我这外行看来,本来就如此。本书则详细考证其发展历程。可惜的是有一些资料随着纽约港务局在911中被毁而消失了。 五六十年代的美国,运输业创新者麦克莱恩想到了集装箱运货的主意(他不是第一人),但是他要面对的阻止生产力提高的三大因素:政府的管制、行业协会的垄...
