The global marketplace and the expansion of e-commerce activity have both impacted the demand for shipping and the transportation industry. This course provides students with an understanding of the regulatory, economic, and management aspects of transportation, and examines the needs and interests of the carriers, governments, and the shipping industry. Carrier alternatives for both passengers and the cargo are evaluated in terms of their relative advantages and disadvantages. Entry, rate-setting, and current issues are also discussed.
