Abstract

In a previous paper the authors reported the results of a small scale survey of British managers responsible for international physical distribution (the conventionally titled shipping manager). Their paper concentrated on examining the organisational relationships used by the respondents' companies and demonstrated that the shipping manager frequently has a wide span of control and that his function appears to have no dominant association with any one traditional line management function.
