However, in the absence of effective logistics coordination and/or CSE a well thought
out logistics strategy that balances its three components (control and efficiency,
coordination to provide customer service, channel coordination and control through information) will not increase organizational competitive responsiveness.
Whether competitive responsiveness can be achieved through a weak logistics
strategy that is well coordinated (perhaps a contradiction) with a high level of CSE is
unlikely, given the direction of relations of the model developed in this manuscript.
