STATE OF LOGISTICS OUTSOURCING RESEARCH
Journal Title: European Journal of Economic and Business - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The third and fourth party logistics (3PL and 4PL™) industry have been growing and maturing in practice in recent years; however, academic research is in the incipient stage and is lagging behind industry practices. Research has indicated that both shippers and logistics providers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their requirements and, with the proliferation of third and fourth party logistics providers, shippers can demand increasing value at lower costs. To best serve these industry practitioners, as well as to augment research in the logistical outsourcing field, academic researchers must respond with more advanced methodologies and analyses.
