commerce region which encourages e-retailing and the adaptation of online marketing which is 
the future of logistics. This region offers the facilities and resources to perform e-commerce 
successfully by gaining customer satisfaction through quick delivery, the least cost, and the right 
product. Additionally, e-commerce enhances sustainability and reducing the carbon footprint. 
Lastly, Oman is a country that looks forward to economic diversity in their operations, improving 
their c
ountry’s life, provide better services and products, and enter the route of advanced 
technology adaptation in their industries. 
 
DIRECTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH
Based on this study, the following directions for futures research may be pointed out: 
 The current study identified the feasibility of establishment of logistics clusters by using 
the diamond model and proposes some benefits of establishing it. This list is not 
exhaustive and future research should identify additional benefits and the inherent 
mecha
nisms that drive those benefits. It would be valuable for future research’s to 
employ other methods to examine the implications of logistics clustering, such as 
econometric modeling. 
 It would also be valuable for future research to investigate whether the benefits of 
logistics clustering are sustainable. If policymakers deploy resources to promote the 
development of logistics clusters, it is important to understand whether the potential 
benefits can be enjoyed by specific regions in the long-term. For example, especially as 
compared to manufacturing jobs, do logistics-related jobs remain in area for a long time? 
In addition, future research could empirically assess job growth within logistics clusters.
