We do so by building an analytical framework deduced from both the position-based and the
resource-based views, and then by applying it to identify the conditions in which e-logistics
solutions may help Logistics Service Providers’ (LSPs)1 creating a sustainable competitive
advantage.
Our goal is to help LSPs separating the “wheat from the chaff” in existing e-solutions; a task that
can be especially arduous for them due to their relatively limited previous exposure to
complex IT.
