Subsequent research has concluded that the Bowersox and Daugherty typology was
worthy of further research (McGinnis and Kohn, 1993); that the typology is “promising”
(Clinton and Closs, 1997); that multiple strategies are present in all organizations to
varying degrees and process strategy explains more variance in logistics coordination
effectiveness (LCE) than do market and information strategies (Kohn and McGinnis,
1997a); and that the Bowersox and Daugherty typology can be used for examining
logistics strategy in US manufacturing firms (McGinnis and Kohn, 2002).
