Is there any difference between logistics and logistics management as taught disciplines? I am looking in different textbooks, but didn't find any difference so far.
I also think that contentwise there is no difference in text books with the two different titles. By "Logistics" perhaps we mean the structure, resources and processes involved in movement (transportation) and non-movement (inventory) of key items (inputs and outputs) required in logistical process (?) . "Logistics Management" is the managerial process for carrying out those activities in efficient and effective manner.
When you add the word "management" to a noun which describes a phenomena as in "Logistics Management" you are indicating that what is under review are the ways and means of managing the aforesaid phenomena. Same would apply in the case of supply chain management, marketing management, advertising management.
I agree with David. Added, I think that logistic focus in operations is always inside firm, but in the Management, I think is coordination in this operations and integrations with suppliers and clients (chain). Questions about value creation, people, financial perfomance and outsourcing too add the management.
Logistics is the management of the flow of resources between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet some requirements, for example, of customers or corporations.
Logistics consists of five main functions namely, Transportation, Warehousing, Inventory Management, Order Processing & Packaging & Material Handling.
Logistics management is the part of supply chain management that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective, forward, and reverse flow and storage of goods, services, and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customer's requirements.
