The study draws the attention to the powerful lobbying that has strengthened the past ideology for ''necessary'' collaboration between LSCs, combined with the inelastic demand of transport services. The excess capacity drove liner ship owners to decrease freight rates in order to gain customers that created a reaction ending in the unattractive rates being offered in the past. As a result, few companies survived from the competition and formed special contracts to control the trade, known as cartelisation.

The study draws the attentions to the specific product cases in every section in order to illustrate effectively the strategies and the benefits that Nestle receives. A great finding is that Nestle filters all its activities through its decade promise; the leading place in Health Nutrition and Wellness sector. Although Nestlé's portfolio includes 2,000 brands in 196 different countries, it has some weaknesses.
