Abstract
- Supply chain logistics demands collaborative partnering and planning online by agents of unique but connected capabilities in the global logistics community. To continue serving very different shipment requests, agents must be able to find the right partners to collectively achieve enhanced logistics process performance whilst staying competitive individually. In this paper, we define dynamic partnership as the active integration of resources (agents) online to co-create value as a service for global supply chain logistics. The conceptual underpinning of dynamic partnership is to maximise the four e-rights for the online logistics community, validated by the three core factors, namely credibility, reliability and viability for successful partnership. A survey of logistics service providers in Hong Kong confirms the relevancy of the four e-rights and three core factors in collaboration efforts. A conceptual analysis with respect to partnership flexibility, collaboration and performance of dynamic partnership is given.
