Did it surprise you that logistics can be such an important component in a country’s economic system Why or why not它构成了一个国家至少10%的GDP、对于经济增长有很重要的作用The answer to this question likely depends on a student’s prior exposure to logistics. A “typical” student in an undergraduate basic logistics course likely has had limited exposure to and knowledge about logisticsand thus would likely be unaware as to logist ics’ impact on a country’s economic system. As such, she/hemight be pleasantly surprised to learn that logistics often accounts for at least 10% of a country’s GDP and also is important for economic growth and development.2.Distinguish between possession, form, time, and place utility.—Possession utility refers to the value or usefulness that comes from a customer being able to takepossession of a product and can be influenced by the relevant payment terms. Form utility refers to aproduct’s being in a form that (1) can be used by the customer and (2) is of value to the customer. Timeutility refers to having products available when they are needed by customers while place utility refers to having products available where they are needed by customers.3.How does logistics contribute to time and place utility时间效用:不同产品有不同的时间敏感度,香蕉和铅笔;地点效用:把产品从价至少的地方运到价值大的地方。
