The European dimension of this collaborative effort becomes of major relevance since LSCM is essentially the organization and realization of an inter-organizational and, frequently, trans-national flow (of goods, services, and related information). The economic and social context (business processes, industry, channels, transport infrastructures, etc) varies for each country. The consortium -research groups but also their relationships with the economics agents- permits to identify and analyze this diversity from their Regional/National point of view in order to give the adequate European perspective to this field.
