Gli elementi fiscali e legali sono sempre più integrati nel design delle global supply chains. Tuttavia, essendo la fiscalità e la logistica basate su principi diversi, divergenze tra le parti possono deviare la soluzione logistica ottimale. Da qui, l’obiettivo della tesi è valutare l’impatto sulle performances logistiche di una supply chain configurata su principi fiscali. L’analisi, quindi, ha una natura inter-disciplinare poiché combina una trattazione logistica con una fiscale, basate su un caso studio, interviste e letteratura scientifica. Prima di tutto, è fornita un’evidenza empirica della distorsione logistica causata da elementi fiscali. Successivamente, il caso studio è generalizzato tramite la formalizzazione di strategie logistiche cross-countries e lo sviluppo di un modello analitico. Infine, per estendere i risultati, è sviluppata un’analisi di sensitività su parametri chiave. La ricerca valuta quantitativamente le potenziali distorsioni create dall’integrazione di elementi fiscali/legali con quelli logistici, superando il gap della letteratura. Grazie a questa ricerca, esperti in ciascun campo possono acquisire conoscenze trasversali. Infine, ulteriori ricerche possono essere dirette per analizzare altre aree in cui i sistemi logistici e fiscali possono essere meglio integrati e allineati.

Abstract
Fiscal and legal aspects are increasingly integrated in global supply chain network design (GSCND). Logistics and fiscal domains, however, are based on different principles and frictions can arise, creating distortions in the optimal logistics solution. Hence, the purpose of the thesis is evaluating the impact on logistics performances of a GSCND based on legal and fiscal principles. The interdisciplinary analysis is made combining logistics system descriptions with fiscal analysis, based on a case study, interviews and scientific literature. In the research, firstly it is provided an empirical evidence of a logistics distortion. Then, the case study is generalized and cross-countries logistics strategies are formalized and modelled. The cost-based model usefully combines logistics and fiscal cost functions. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is performed to extend the results. The research evaluates the potential frictions between logistics and legal/fiscal issues, bridging the literature gap. Practitioners from both domains acquire increased understanding of the other’s perspective. Therefore, more research could be directed at analysing additional areas where fiscal and logistics systems could be better aligned.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
