Logistics, Supply Chain Management, and Taiwanese Immigration Assessed in Light of Globalization

Organizations regardless of size can take advantage of the market dynamics brought about by globalization. Supply chain management is crucial for large organizations, especially with regard to the costs, complexity, and risks of its large, often global, supply chains. From technology to risk management, learning what it takes to navigate transportation and logistics business management in today’s volatile world is critical. Human migration has accelerated in light of globalization and rapid advances in transportation (particularly aviation) technology. This study investigated the connection between logistics and supply chain management in the age of globalization; reviewed the migration, settlement, and naturalization of Taiwanese immigrants along the West Coast of the United States; and theoretically analyzed the forces that have led to the construction of the Taiwanese immigrant community. Taiwanese immigrants and their settlement are affected by global forces, and factors such as their cross-cultural trade, the characteristics of diasporic communities, and their national identity can provide scholarly and pedagogical insights.
