Strategic posture of logistics service providers in Singapore
As organizations globalize to reach new markets and achieve higher production and sourcing efficiencies, logistics will play an increasingly important role in moving materials and products throughout the organizations' supply chains. For many companies, third party logistics providers (or logistics providers) represent a viable and effective alternative to fulfilling their own logistics requirements. Amidst growing competition, the logistics providers must strategize to determine how they want to position their logistics services in terms of cost, quality, features, and value-added to their customers. This research represents the first study that examines the different strategic postures of logistics providers using Porter's competitive framework and analyzes the business performance, technologies, operations objectives, and future plans of each strategic type. The differences among the strategic types generate new managerial insights and implications for logistics managers and executives.
