| International Logistics Forum in Shanghai |
| On November 14, 2007, JCtrans, following forums in Tianjin and Shenzhen, held the 2nd E-Business Management for International Logistics Forum - Seminar on the "Blue Sea" Strategy for Freight Forwarders, in Shanghai. The "Blue Sea" strategy is aimed at developing an uncontested market by creating and capturing new business opportunities. This is in contrast with the "Red Sea" strategy, or price war, which is aimed at reducing prices for existing customers in order to fend off the competition. Over 800 representatives from more than 600 freight forwarding companies took part in the forum. |
