Georgia Tech's Don Ratliff discusses the new logistics center in Costa Rica. The Georgia Institute of Technology on Aug. 20 will open a center in aimed at improving foreign trade by helping companies there get products to market faster and more efficiently. The Georgia Tech Trade Chain Innovation and

Productivity Center , which will be located in San Jose , is designed to teach graduate students and company executives how to improve supply chains and logistics. It will also serve as a research center in those fields, said Don Ratliff, executive director of Tech's Supply Chain & Logistics Institute... "Supply chains and logistics are fundamental to trade," said Dr. Ratliff. "It would be impossible for anyone to be good at trade that doesn't have good supply chain and logistics capabilities." http://www.globalatlanta.com/article/17407/
