Competitiveness Improvement in the South Korean Logistics Industrialization for the Fourth Industrial Revolution

The logistics industry, which was recognized as a 3D industry, is transforming into a high-tech industry. Various convergence technologies and equipments are being introduced in logistics hand in hand with the acceleration of R&D. In this study, to cope with the fourth industrial revolution, we investigate the development directions in South Korea through logistics policies, governance and Logistics Performance Index (LPI) in the consideration of increasing competitiveness in the logistics industry. The competitiveness level and degree of preparations for the fourth industrial revolution in South Korea are lower than major countries such as the USA, Germany, Japan and China. Therefore, it can be prepared for the fourth industrial revolution by benchmarking countries with higher competitiveness. In other words, complementary SCM through the interactive patterns of networks including government, businesses and academia are required. In addition, it needs to increase competitiveness by achieving sustainable industrial development through the logistics industry cluster which is based on the mutual cooperation between large- and mid-size companies.
