platform for international scholars to present research results, engage in dialogues on key issues
with industry practitioners, and infuse innovative ideas into supply chain management.
The Organizing Committee of GCSCL 2010 plans to build on the experience and enthusiasm
gained from GCSCL meetings that have taken place from 2002 to 2009 and provide a forum for
this year’s discussion. The focus of this year’s conference will be on developing Green Logistics
for a Harmonious World, however research papers are welcome in all areas of supply chain and
logistics. Both academics and industry practitioners are invited to participate in this conference.
The Organizing Committee sincerely invites both local and overseas specialists in academia and
industry to come to Chengdu, a fabulous and enjoyable city in China for the conference!

History of the International Conference on
Greater China Supply Chain and Logistics 2010 (GCSCL 2010)
Members of the Greater China Logistics Modernization Agreement organized the first Greater
China Logistics Forum in 2002. The conference papers were later compiled and published as a
monograph in mainland China. Since then, the conference continued to take place in the Chinese
Mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan on a rotating basis in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2008.
The papers presented in these events have now become a major source of information about
logistics and supply chain management developments in the Greater China region. In 2006,
participants of the Greater China Logistics Modernization Agreement and members of the
conference organizing committee decided to change this conference to a biennial event, so as to
further increase the competitiveness and quality of the conference papers.
