Abstract

The study focuses on understanding how different supply chain stakeholders' power dynamics influence supply chain relationships' stability and dynamics in a logistics triad. The study uses a qualitative research approach (multiple case studies) to collect data from the perspectives of logistics service providers (LSPs), suppliers, and customers. Having unique resource/service capability helps the LSP dominate long-term triad relationships by controlling its partners and impeding changes in embedded dyads. The identified theoretical and empirical outcomes provide insights to academics and practitioners to understand the supply chain relationship dynamics based on LSP's dominant power. This study's originality primarily focuses on the dominant player—LSP—to influence triadic supply chain relationships, which is significantly different from the traditional view—the dominant power controlled by suppliers or customers.

摘要

该研究的重点是了解不同供应链利益相关者的权力动态如何影响物流三位一体中供应链关系的稳定性和动态。该研究采用定性研究方法（多个案例研究）从物流服务提供商 (LSP)、供应商和客户的角度收集数据。拥有独特的资源/服务能力有助于 LSP 通过控制其合作伙伴并阻止嵌入式二元关系的变化来主导长期的三元关系。所确定的理论和实证结果为学者和实践者提供了见解，以了解基于 LSP 主导力量的供应链关系动态。本研究的原创性主要集中在影响三元供应链关系的主导者——LSP——上，
