How logistics clusters can create jobs while providing companies with competitive advantage.Why is Memphis home to hundreds of motor carrier terminals and distribution centers? Which jobs can replace lost manufacturing jobs in advanced economies?Some of the answers to these questions are rooted in the phenomenon of logistics clusters--geographically concentrated sets of logistics-related business activities.
