A critical analysis of the challenges hindering RL activities, the opportunities for increased performance, cost reduction (for firms involved in LCs) and profit maximization (for 3rd party RL service providers) can develop and exploit the interaction of RL with logistics villages. Hence the various aspects in integrative collaboration can be a valuable source of increased performance for organizations willing to consolidate their RL processes (Ravi and Shankar, 2005). Therefore the current study was undertaken in order to gain new insights about the role of RL in the LC concept by exploring the links between RL capabilities and performance outcomes of LCs.
