An examination of several selected articles shown in Table I, indicates that logistics
strategy, the blend of Bowersox and Daugherty’s process, market, and information
strategies referred to in this manuscript as OLS affects LCE, CSE, and company/division
competitive responsiveness (COMP). However, the structural relationships between OLS,
LCE, CSE, and COMP have not been examined. Specifically, linkages among OLS, LCE,
CSE, and COMP have not been quantified to ascertain their roles relative to each other.
A clearer understanding of these roles could provide insights to practitioners and
researchers of logistics strategy’s role in helping the firm achieve its objectives.
