The book delves into the complexities of international freight forwarding, emphasizing the crucial role of freight forwarders as "The Architect of Transport" within multimodal transport chains. It integrates concepts from economic theory and sociology to offer a comprehensive view of the intermediary role in this sector, often overlooked in existing research. By analyzing relationship patterns through a stylized model and data collected from freight forwarders in Germany and Austria, it aims to enhance understanding of the dynamics within transportation networks.
