These issues are of immense importance for studying LSCM. However, when moving to the specific region under investigation,information becomes scarce. There is small number of studies touching upon SCM, logistics and IS in South East Europe but they are country-focused, or following what can be called a micro-approach, rather than region-focused, or following what can be called a macro-approach. For example, Kotsifaki et al[27] invesstigated the level of logistics strategic planning in Greece, while Bloomen and Prtrov [28] examined the statrs of logistics development in Bulgaria at the beginning of the 1990s. Although this micro-approach that has predominantly implemented up to now is crucial for undrstanding LSCM in separate countries, it is of limited value for assessing the region as a whole. This study uniquely provides both academics and practitioners with an overall view of the current status of SCM and IS in the specific region. Based on the belief that South East Europe, as a region and not as individual countries, can benefit hugely from Eu regional policies and for its increased competitiveness in global supply chains, a macro-approach seems evident.
