    Notes: The decade of the 1980s brought significant change to the traffic management function. Freed from the strictures of transportation regulation, traffic managers were able to form strategic alliances and effective partnering relationships with carriers. Advances in information technology permitted faster and more accurate transfer of critical information throughout the logistics system. According to a national survey of over 200 traffic managers, logistics executives, and carrier executives, transportation deregulation and new information technology have been the primary drivers of change in the traffic function over the past ten years. While deregulation was the primary driver of change during the 1980s, changes in the 1990s will be technology-driven. New management skills and talents will be required. Organizational changes will occur as firms react and adapt to the opportunities presented to them. This paper explores the influence that new information technology will continue to have on the evolving practice of corporate traffic management in the years ahead.

    Notes: The advent of the Internet and electronic communications has enabled companies to be more responsive to their customers. However, the same technological advancements are changing the marketplace and providing an impetus for changes in strategic alliance and partnership structures. Successful leaders of the future will have to understand how to operate in the new marketplace and within the evolving organizational structures where alliances and partnerships are changing. The purpose of this article is to shed light on the current and future organizational structures in the logistics industry. Toward that end, traditional supply chain management (SCM), electronic supply chain management (eSCM), and the resulting impact on strategic alliances and partnerships will be explored. Additionally, considering the inherent ability of the eSC to be dynamic and adaptable, the new type of leader that is likely to be most successful in this new structure is discussed.
