Explaining the competitive advantage of logistics service providers: A resource-based view approach

Purpose – The aim of this study is to discover the critical success factors (CSFs) for the Halal supply chain management because this area is gaining recognition. Plus, the aim is to use the CSFs for future research. Design/methodology/approach – The study is based on the application of CSFs on the Halal supply chain. A comprehensive literature review is undertaken to discover the CSFs of conventional supply chain and to apply it to the Halal supply chain. Findings – Government support, transportation planning, information technology, human resource management, collaborative relationship, Halal certification and Halal traceability are the CSFs for the Halal supply chain. Research limitations/implications – This study only discusses the CSFs related to the Halal supply chain and ignoring other forms of Halal businesses. This study only concerns on English literatures and omit other languages. The study lacks empirical evidence and future research should be done to test the CSFs relevancy. Practical implica...

Halal supply chain critical success factors: a literature review

Technology Leapfrogging for Developing Countries

This study describes the results of a survey of 1,500 logistics firms in Hong Kong regarding information technology (IT). The study identifies barriers to adopting IT, such as financial burden, lack of expertise and technical support, as well as benefits, such as increased efficiency and service. The researchers predict that increasing customer and margin pressures will lead firms to adopt IT more quickly. The study includes several tables looking at the use of IT with both suppliers and customers, as well as the perceived benefits and barriers to implementation of IT for logistics. It concludes with suggestions for follow-up research.

Information technology adoption in Hong Kong's logistics industry

This paper identifies, conceptualises and measures the extent of logistics resources acquired by Malaysian logistics service providers (LSPs) and further examines the impact of such logistics resources on logistics performance in terms of customer service innovation and cost leadership. Based on data from interviews and a survey of 123 LSPs in Malaysia, this paper uses factor analyses to establish five components of logistics resources and capabilities – technology, physical, management expertise, relational and organisational resources. Further regression analyses suggest that each logistics resource is positively associated with both customer service innovation and cost leadership, and some of these resources are bundled together to enhance the two performances. The paper contributes to the development of constructs and measurements for logistics resources from LSPs’ perspective and provides theory-driven empirical evidences to explain the performance of LSPs.

The impact of logistics resources on the performance of Malaysian logistics service providers

One of the enabling factors of effective supply‐chain management is the effective use of information technology (IT). Highlights a number of IT trends which can be grouped together as four key themes. These four key themes affect the way in which technology is used to support logistics operations in order to deliver competitive advantage. Shows how some of these themes have been developed and utilized to provide an in‐cab computing system which delivers competitive advantage to Exel Logistics. Concludes by showing how the four themes will support future trends in logistics.
