Abstract

Today's port is recognized as an multi-functional area for leisure, information, and business as well as for logistics service. Further, due to the rapid changes in world trade and shipping environment, today's ports face ever-increasing competition, from adjacent competing ports. Thus, in order to maintain the competitiveness of a port, each country spurs its port development, and at the same time, improves port-logistics industries to meet more diversified demands through high value-added services, such as e-business. In the mean time, to promote e-business in port-logistics area, many policies have been suggested since then. However, most of previous studies have focused on building the e-business sites/or e-marketplace and contents of e-business service without through identification of their industrial structures. Further, there has been no research based on the related theories. As a result, despite research and projects for port-logistics related e-business, prominent achievements have not been presented, and moreover, research in academic side have been very rare. For these reasons, many researchers have pointed out that basic studies related to e-business in port-logistics industries are needed, and that various practical policies based on results of those basic studies should be discussed. The aim of this study is to identify e-business types within port-logistics industrial structure, focused on business class and concept of market-space theory. For this, a framework for taxonomy is suggested, and then, through this framework, business types in port-logistics industries are classified. Finally, some implications from the classification are presented.
