Abstract: Purpose – To analyse logistical innovations from 1984 to 2003Design/methodology/approach – The approach concerned analysing the use of patents retrieved from major patent databases to create a picture of logistical innovationsFindings – Confirmation that the use of patent statistics can depict an overall picture of technological innovation in the logistics sector Logistics firms can be innovative by making good use of patent dataResearch limitations/implications – Logistics researchers and practitioners take advantage of recent improvements in the quality and availability of patent statistics rather seriously; in other fields many do not see the relevancePractical implications – Customers will begin to rely on 3PL service providers beyond distribution services for more technological innovation as they successfully expand capabilities into these areas, as well as provide end‐to‐end integration and visibilityOriginality/value – This is a novel and useful approach for examining innovations

A new look at logistics business performance: intellectual capital perspective
Yenchun Jim Wu,ya Huei Chou +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the causal relationship between human capital, structure capital, and customer capital with intellectual capital in the logistics industry is explored. But, the results of the study show that human capital and structure capital have a positive association with IC performance and that IC performance does not differ between regions.

A literature review on performance measures of logistics management: an intellectual capital perspective
TL;DR: The key contribution of this review is that it addresses the following gaps in the literature: the limited adoption of comprehensive IC methods in logistics studies; underdevelopment of specific indicators and measures used; failure to consider all human capital as well as renewal and development elements; and, finally, lack of academic research considering the influences among the different IC elements and logistics and financial performance.

R&D spillovers, patents and the incentives to innovate in Japan and the United States
TL;DR: This paper found that intraindustry R&D knowledge flows and spillovers are greater in Japan than in the US and the appropriability of rents due to innovation less, suggesting that patent policy can importantly affect information flows.
