"Reverse flows are a natural part of trade and it is impossible to avoid them completely. To the contrary, we can observe several reasons fostering the impact of reverse logistics on business environment at the moment. When we surveyed the Czech companies in the year 2004, the results showed a very limited interest in reverse logistics. In majority of companies the reverse flows stood for supplementary cost and therefore the common goal was to minimize the reverse flows. Companies didnot see value, which could be retrieved to improve corporate productivity and effectiveness. Five years later, we repeated the survey in an extended way. The research conducted in 2009 elaborates on various aspects of value creation management in reverse logistics; more specifically (1) it sheds light on management perception of reverse logistics and companies activities in the field of reverse logistics and (2) provides comparison of current situation with the year 2004 to describe the past development." . . .
