    Dirigé par Michel Giraud et Alain Fauqueur, le groupe familial français de transport et logistique Giraud adopte un nouvel ordre de bataille qui distingue plus nettement ses deux activités phares. Jusqu’à cette décision, une S.A. à conseil d’administration coiffait l’ensemble. Désormais, il y aura deux S.A. à directoire et conseil de surveillance: Giraud International pour le transport proprement dit, d’une part, et Giraud Logistics pour tout ce qui concerne les prestations relevant de la logistique, d’autre part. La démarche qui vient de conduire à adopter ce nouvel ordre de bataille, mérite une analyse.
