This current research adopts a perspective that the Bowersox and Daugherty
typology provides a strong conceptual basis consistent over timewith regards to salient
dimensions of logistic strategy. These dimensions should be coordinated at many levels
of the organization to achieve competitive responsiveness. Through this research
we hope to unravel the complexities of logistics management strategy and understand
the role logistics management strategy plays in maintaining and enhancing competitive
advantage responsiveness. Using a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and a structural
model, we assess the validity of three dimensions of Bowersox and Daugherty
typology and their simultaneous relationship to logistics coordination, customer service
effectiveness (CSE), and overall organizational competitive responsiveness. The model
developed in this study uses a second-order factor, called overall logistic strategy, to
represent the three dimensions of Bowersox and Daugherty typology.
