Performance‐Based Logistics and Interfirm Team Processes: An Empirical Investigation
研究了基于绩效的物流（PBL）策略中企业间团队层面的创新因素，通过对17位管理者的访谈构建了一个包含八个类别的模型，为实践和理论提供启示。
Practitioners are using performance‐based logistics ( PBL ) strategies to reduce cost and improve value in industries such as defense, transportation, manufacturing, and healthcare. PBL is part of a group of increasingly popular buyer–supplier strategies that focuses on outcomes as oppose to the delivery of products or services. A key tenet of PBL is the use of innovation to create cost avoidance that benefits buyers and suppliers. In this research, we explore the interfirm team‐level factors associated with innovation in successful PBL strategies. This research brings together business, organizational behavior, and engineering literature to study PBL team success. The study entailed interviews with 17 managers involved in large scale PBL projects. The interviews and follow‐on member checking sessions resulted in a model composed of eight emergent categories and associated propositions. Both practical and theoretical implications are provided.
