The study describes the design and development of a microcomputer based DSS
for logistics planning that can be used to analyze both strategic and operational
issues. It employs a "what-if" simulation approach to model all the aspects of a
marketing and distribution system that is essential to effective strategic planning.

This study endeavors to contribute to the literature by identifying the supply chain
antecedents and performance consequences of SCRM. Although the existing
literature recognizes various strategies and frameworks for identifying, analyzing
and mitigating risks in supply chains, there is a relative dearth of research on
factors that influence their adoption and implementation.

The research analyzes the impact of logistics service sharing. The analysis shows
that the economic implications of logistics service sharing crucially depend on the
TPLP’s logistics service level and the magnitude of the product’s market potential.
The e-tailer will benefit from logistics service sharing when the TPLP’s logistics
service level or the market potential is very high. This rationale hinges on the
trade-off between the lost competitive edge in logistics service and the improved
pricing power.

for creating economic, environmental and social values.

provider perspective. Journal of Business Research 65 (2012) 258–264.
The basic rationale of the study is that mainstream supply chain management
essentially builds on the strategies, structures and resource combinations that
seem appropriate for manufacturers and retailers; that is, the organizations that
are traditionally the supply chain's primary actors (cf. Lambert, Cooper & Pagh,
1998). The literature has not directed sufficient attention to the so-called support
actors, such as logistics service providers, and their view of supply management.
Research Gap
Previous studies in this area were focused on the importance of Information
Technology (IT) to help decision makers to make more efficient decisions. Especially,
previous researchers highlight the benefits of using computer-based systems to support
logistics management, especially in transportation and warehousing. As Supply Chain
Management (SCM) emphasizes on seeing the whole supply chain as one system,
current research examines the benefits of using computer-based systems to maintain
logistics management, especially in transportation and warehousing (Accorsi et al.,
2014; Moynihan et al., 1995). Previous surveys were focused on the technical aspect of
the DSS development and they did not take into consideration the strategic one (Fanti
et al., 2015; Kondratenko et al., 2013; Sansone, 2014; Songbai et al., 2010; Wong
2012). This research will propose a strategic framework which combines both the
strategic management process and the Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP)
process to provide a holistic approach to effective decision making in the logistics
sector.
Theoretical Framework
Environment Support
Subsystem
Goal Determining
Subsystem
The framework is based on previous Strategic Information Systems and combines the phases
of SISP process in order to suggest a complete model for strategic decisions in the logistics sector.
This model involves four subsystems. The first one, named “Environment Support Subsystem”, is
used for gathering information related with inventory, production, marketing, industry, raw
materials, human resources, financial resources,
Decision Support market, technology, economic conditions,
government and culture necessary for Subsystem
forecasting and projecting both the external and internal
business environment.
