The relationship between logistics and globalization is complex due to the influences arising from multiple causes. Globalization enables logistics operators to work in any part of the world without being restricted by legislative or political restrictions of various countries. Globalization involves assembling a supply chain of various operators that compete in their work in order to give a high quality service and to meet frequently changing customer desires. Logistics operations are linked to the value chain that is a real tool for identifying new ways of creating increasingly value for the customer. Logistics efficiency means linking the three specific areas (supply, production support activities and physical distribution) in creating value, being an integral part thereof. With globalization, competition between logistics companies moved from national level to international level. The world economy has changed a lot lately, globalization requiring a new logistic dynamics. Globalization has brought not only benefits by providing opportunities generated by access to new markets but powerful competitors fighting for gaining loyalty of the same customers. Globalization must offer solutions for sustainable development in the long term, to ensure the economic balance for effective use of resources, fighting poverty, hunger and unemployment.
