      abstract = {Micha Hirschinger emphasizes the importance of foresight  on logistics and institutions in particular for effective  decision making as distinct research in this context is  limited. He applies a systematic and transferable  multi-method approach based on Delphi studies and fuzzy  c-means cluster analysis to develop profound scenarios for  the future. He uses the relevance of information-processing  requirements to investigate whether centralization of  purchasing organizations increases functional efficiency.  The author finally shows how a sharing-economy business  model transfer could help to overcome the limited access to  factor markets, especially trucks, at the base of the  pyramid.
